We’re alive, well, and staying in Rehoboth Beach, DE this weekend. We wanted to check in with everyone to disprove the rumors that we drove the RV into the ocean, lost the camera, or we left John Scrovak somewhere near Newport News. We talked to Blair Lazar of Blair’s Death Sauce, and got a couple [...]
Well we made it down to the Big Easy – New Orleans, Louisiana! If you’ve been keeping up with the route, which you have because you’re all such super fans, you know we came down here looking for Bloody Mary, a Voodoo High Priestess who was supposed to lead us on a haunted pub crawl, [...]
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Spicy RV went to Avery Island. Of course you probably knew this, what with the mapped route and all, but the video is finished, and it’s here for your enjoyment. We met with Harold Osborn, the Vice President of Agriculture for McIlhenny Company, creators, owners, and prophets of Tabasco, the original [...]
Ladies, gentlemen, and not-so-gentle men, I give you the destination for SpicyRV Part 2. The event is called Peppers at the beach. What is it, you ask? Keep your pants on, I say, I’ll tell you! It’s a large scale demo, set up with manufacturers of some of the best hot sauces out there, where [...]
Spicy RV’s first Friday night we descended upon Chunky’s Burgers in San Antonio, Texas. It would be safe to say Chunky’s was catapulted to national fame when Adam Richman from The Travel Channel’s Man vs Food took up the Four Horsemen challenge. James Beck of EatMoreHeat had to throw his hat into the ring and [...]

Enough of this negative postponement talk. Let’s party! The Houston contingent of the Spicy RV crew (Jason, David, Pedro, and yours truly, minus the RV) will be partying with our sponsors Lone Star Beer and EAT MORE HEAT to benefit Noah’s Kitchen tomorrow, and we want you there! We will be raging at the West Alabama Icehouse tomorrow from 1 to 6.
It would be great to report good news today. It would be great if we could report that Mark Cuban saw all the luv we got on Twitter, and he wanted us to be on HDNet. Unfortunately that’s not the case.
We received a large number of well wishes and suggestions, but no miracle solution. It’s sucks to have to say this, but we’re officially postponing Spicy RV 3.0.
Welcome to Spicy RV. By now you we love spicy stuff, and I do the stupid human tricks. And if you don’t know this, just watch a few of our videos. Anyway, as of our last post you still find us in the Big Easy, New Orleans, Louisiana. We’ve been following Bloody Mary on a haunted pub crawl to some of the most haunted bars in the city. We also learned that the ghosts that inhabit the crazy haunted drinkeries have the same love for spicy food as we do.
We really need our fans and friends help. We don’t talk about it, but the RV we use for our road trips is a rental, and for a 10 day road trip it is VERY expensive. We had the budget for Spicy RV 3.0 cocked, locked, and ready to rock….. until our camera gear was stolen. Now we’re having to spend the 3.0 budget to replace the camera gear since the insurance won’t cover all of our losses. We have to find ways to cut costs or get more sponsorships, and hopefully YOU can help.
If you checked in yesterday then you are well aware that our camera gear got jacked. I was about the cancel the trip to New Orleans to shoot a few segments for the diversion we were calling Spicy RV 2.5, but there was one last option. The amazing people at MicroSearch (specifically Carlos) sponsored us for Spicy RV 2.0 & hooked us up with great rates on additional lighting and wireless microphones. They were our last hope to get a camera for this weekend, and they came through!
There’s good news, better news, betterer news, and bad news for you today. The good news is there’s a new video for your viewing pleasure. The better news is that it’s really short. The betterer news is that it’s kinda funny. Even though the good folks at South of the Border told us they would give us a release, it never happened. Therefore we can only show you a clip of what could have been, filmed outside, where it’s open to the public. All I can say about this clip is just like at the end of the Sparky’s video, I prove that I like to ride inanimate objects.
Well folks, I’m lucid and relatively sober today, or at least enough so to make words, so you get a write-up with this video authored by yours truly! This video finds us back in Antoine’s, with Bloody Mary showing us more than just the speak easy room. We walk through some crazy old wooden double doors into an area that apparently once served as an old jail. Granted it’s no Alcatraz, but it’s a former jail, and it’s haunted, so it’s an awesome place to be.
John has been too busy working on his alcohol tolerance to get this bad boy written, so I must be the designated blogger while he recovers. What a LIGHTWEIGHT!
The next stop on Bloody Mary’s haunted pub crawl took us to Hermes Bar at Antoine’s. The lighting was much better than Part 1, but the ghosts were still playing with the audio.
Ok, so maybe not an actual spiritual being, since we’re sure Bloody Mary probably would not have appreciated that very much. No, I ate a ghost pepper. That’s right, the Ghost Pepper, the Naga Morich, the Bhut Jolokia pepper. The spiciest naturally occurring pepper in the world with a Scoville rating of 1.04 million units.
This site sucks!
There’s no new videos!
What the hell is going on?
RELAX! Everything is fine.
