The Torch
Hot AF Wing Challenge
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.

Check out our Eye of the Dragon Limited Edition Hot Sauce
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 the passing of our founder Sam Shivji
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.
Alberta Crude and Acid Rain have a new look!
First we ran out of bottles, then they stopped supplying our bottles and then our old labels didn't fit on the new bottles! So, our Alberta Crude and Acid Rain hot sauces have a new look!
We're a small business, so we'll be using up some of our old labels on the other products in these lines for a while, but we hope you like the new look.
