The deats!
4th Street Lilac Festival Sunday, June 2, 2024, between 12th Avenue and Elbow Drive SW (in Calgary, but you knew that already) from 10 a.m.-6 p.m.
It's February and you know what that means? Hudson's Hot AF Wing Challenge is back at their Edmonton, Calgary, Lethbridge, or Saskatoon locations to find out!
You eat 10 wings throughout 5 rounds with 5 hot sauces and if you can make it to the end of the challenge, you’ll win FREE wings for a year AND a limited-edition Hot AF hat.
This year they're using a few of Hungry Volcano's most popular sauces to bring the heat.
Grandma Shivji's Chile and Lime Habanero Sauce
Take the challenge at Hudsons Canada’s Pub on February 7, 14, 21, or 28, 2024 from 7-10 pm.
A few weeks back we got a hold of some Dragon Breath chili peppers. This unique pepper is one of the hottest in the world. The Dragon's Breath plant was cultivated by breeder Mike Smith of Wales and it was named Dragon's Breath after the Welsh dragon.
We decided to concoct a little brew with the pepper and some cherries (which happened to be in season when we were cooking). We made just shy of 500 bottles and we launched it at the Calgary Tattoo and Arts Festival in October and it was hit!
Eye of the Dragon Limited Edition hot sauce is now available on the site and at our store at the Crossroads Market in Calgary.
Here's the thing though. We didn't mark down the recipe, so when it's gone, it's gone. We'll definitely play with Dragon's Breath peppers again (we're trained professionals, with serious personal protective equipment so don't play with peppers with a heat level 2.48 million Scoville units at home!).
It is with profound sadness that we announce that our founder and the patriarch of the Hungry Volcano family, Sam Shivji, has passed away.
Sam had an incredible flair for cooking and making food delicious. He started making hot sauce in the 90s. He had so much fun creating recipes and watching people sweat (especially his son in law!). Although, he'll be a tough act to follow, we will work very hard to make him proud and carry on his legacy.
The Shivji family would like to express our heartfelt thanks to everyone who expressed sympathy and for your prayers and well wishes while Sam was in the hospital. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
Rest in peace Dad. We love you.
