Boston melted. Ooopz. | The Takedown

Here is an artist’s (my) rendition of the horrific things that happened at The Armory in Somerville, that terrible Sunday, August 26 2012- when 10 local hot sauces and 10 local ice creams CLASHED IN UNHOLY MATRIMONY!

It was just like this only even SCARIER! Boston, this was supposed to be fun and innocent! Instead, you melted everyone’s faces off and icecreamed bloody murder!!!

Thanks so much to JP Licks and Batch ice creams and Alex’s Ugly Sauce for judging the ice creams and hot sauces!!! So cool of you guys to hand out samples of your excellence, and donate prizes to boot!!! And the prizes!!! Oh MAN do I love the good people at Cuisinart, Microplane, Wusthof and Jarlsberg, Anolon!

The homecooks of Boston never fail to rule- and from the bottom of my stinky heart, I love you guys. You are all very, very cool. AFTER THE JUMP, here’s the recipes, and a list of winners!!!!
