F’n HOT!
Cold weather got you down? Suffering the winter doldrums? Well, then head up to Park City, where it’s hot—It’s F’n Hot. That’s the clever name of a store on Main Street in Park City’s Old Town featuring all things hot and spicy. From bottled hot sauces and dips, to spicy snacks and drink mixers, if it’s caliente, It’s F’n Hot probably has it. Some of my favorite products here include Hog’s Ass Hot BBQ Sauce, Pain is Good Blue Cheese Wing Sauce, Scorned Woman Cocktail Magic, Dave’s Burning Nuts, Sonny Barger Hellfire Salsa and CaBoom Championship Chili Fixins. It’s F’n Hot also sells cooking aprons, cookbooks, glassware and useful kitchen tools like a jalapeño corer. This place is hot, hot, hot! 545 Main, Park City, 435-604-0910, ItsFnHot.com

Quote of the week: I don’t know about elk, but if I had some, I don’t think I’d grind it and eat it on a bun.
