Rocklands barbeque on Wisconsin Avenue in Glover Park has the wall of fire,
where you can try out all kinds of hot sauces, and they also sell a lot of the
kinds on the wall.  I like the Baron's habanero sauce.  They don't have two of
my favorites (though most Asian grocery stores do): Indonesian sambal ulek and
Thai Sri Ra Cha (both made in California, by the way).  Also, Armadilla Grill
in Bethesda has "Death by Dilla" habanero sauce available for the asking, and
it was very hot when I had it yesterday, much hotter than the first few times
(a few months ago).

As one of the allegedly "under-testosteroned," I just had to get my
hands on a bottle of Dave's so what do I find?
 
"Some Like It Hot" is _not_ at Montgomery Mall (although they had a
kiosk there over Christmas). Nor do they appear in the NOVA Yellow Pages
or white pages. (Apparently I am not the only person to visit there
lately as the woman at the information counter was quite familiar with
the issue.)
 
"Dave's Gourmet" does _not_ exist at 108 N. Columbus (or 108 S. Columbus)
and has not for some time, that address being occupied by a law firm.
It is not in the phone book either.
 
Please everyone, when you post about stuff like this, indicate when you
most recently visited a place.
 
As it stands, I know of nowhere "in this area" (meaning within 50 miles
of DC) to view and purchase a large variety of brands (meaning more
than ten) or not-often-seen brands of Habanero-based sauces.
 
Should I drive to Dewey Beach, or will I find that "Pepper's" is gone
too? Is my frustration showing? What is it about hot sauces that makes
all these places disappear? I suspect aliens seeking to deprive the
human species of the transcendant qualities of capsaicin! If you see
no more postings from me on this subject, you'll know why!
