Trail of Flame

You think you like it hot? Then hit the Trail, where you'll find restaurants, bars, and cafes that specialize in the kind of food that makes Mount St. Helens look cool. Some are culinary shrines, but most are undiscovered gems, ranging from a biker bar in upstate New York to the kind of holes-in-the-wall where cooks use spices by the handful, not the teaspoon measure. Follow the Trail to a bar in the Adirondacks (accessible only by snowmobile in the winter) where the Armageddon wings will leave you speechless. To a Rastafarian joint in Tampa where the chef whacks pumpkins from the vine with a machete to make pumpkin soup. To an elegant restaurant in Santa Fe that serves heavenly chili rellenos. To a lip-tingling Sri Lankan restaurant in Minneapolis, or to one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in the country (hint: it's in Miami's Little Havana). More than just a restaurant guide, Trail of Flame is also a celebration of the "culture of hot" and where to find it - at festivals, chili cookoffs, stores, "Hotter-Than-Hell nights" ... even in cyberspace. Follow Jennifer Trainer Thompson on this cultural and culinary trip through the world and underworld of hot and spicy foods. Her frank, funny reviews and stories will get you revved up to hit the Trail. But a word of caution: just reading it may make you break into a sweat. --- from book's back cover
