Our Teriyaki Sauce is what started this whole thing. Living in Hawaii as a kid I fell in love with Teriyaki and when you go to any kind of get together, there is always Teriyaki. Always Home made and everyone's recipe is different. I tasted a lot of different flavors but never all of them in one sauce, so I set out to create a recipe with all of those beautiful flavors. It only took about 15 years or so, but I believe we I finally got them all in one sauce.

    9th Circle was a challenge to create. A lot of places and companies have insanely hot sauces. Our dilemma was that although I love very spicy foods it is absolutely paramount that it taste good. I cant understand putting something in your mouth simply to prove that you can handle the heat. That's high school Macho/ Ego inferiority issue, I need a good therapist because my friends don't make me feel worthwhile syndrome. And I believe there is probably a 12 step program out there dedicated to those exact deficiencies. So when The owner of Red Rock Lounge asked me if I could make him a hot sauce I had no problem making a sauce that was stupid hot, but my personal requirement was that it taste awesome. After many hours of research and development in The Kitchen at Red Rock Lounge, JJ the Executive Chef at the time and myself came up with a recipe that allowed the stupid hot Bhut Jolokia (Ghost Pepper or  King Cobra Pepper) as it is called in some Countries to stick to the chicken wings we knew we had something worthy our efforts. A few days later JJ said that the employees had all gotten together and come up with a name for the sauce if I would allow them to do so. The name they chose seemed quite appropriate to me being that I had read Dante's Inferno which is a 12th century Italian poetry depiction of the different layers of Hell. The 9th Circle is the layer of hell right next to Lucifer himself reserved for those who betray their Friends, Family and Country. Which one you had betrayed determined whether you were placed head down or body down in a large frozen lake for eternity. The lake is formed from Lucifer's tears because he defied his father and it is frozen because of the wind created by Lucifer's wings flapping to get out although he is trapped there for eternity as well. So with that being said the 9th Circle is the hottest thing next to Lucifer himself, Literally.

Usually the first words out of peoples mouths when they take that first bite is "Wow, that tastes amazing" and then they look like Linda Blair in The Exorcist with their head spinning around and gasping for air when the heat hits them. This is truly a sauce for those with a strong constitution and lots of Baby Wipes for the morning after. The first week of the Wing Challenge 2 different people went to the hospital and the Dr.'s Laughed at both of them stating that " If you have to sign a waiver that states that we are not responsible for medical bills and are not liable up to and including Death that if you do it anyway, then you got what you asked for".Every person who has beaten my Wing Challenge agrees on one thing. " It is truly a Spiritual Experience". If you would really like to test the level of pain that you can stand for your own understanding then this sauce is for you. If Habanero's make you whine and cry this is not a product you should try. You are allowed to taste the sauce without taking the challenge but you must sign a waiver first and you are not allowed to sign the waiver or take the challenge if you appear to be intoxicated.

You may be wondering what you can expect from us in the future. I have spent much of the past 5 years in research and development. Some Sauces just came to me as a whimsical idea that I was brave enough to try. Some came from requests from friends that had eaten sauces at other places and wanted me to try and do a better job. Monkey Sauce is an example of just one of these situations. Red Rock Lounge in Newport News uses 6 of our products. I was chatting with a good friend of mine whose Nickname is Monkey by the way and he said that only ate wings from Buffalo Wild Wings because they have a Mango Habanero. I informed him that we had a raspberry Habanero and he said that everyone has one of those and that if I made a Mango Habanero that he would go to Red Rock Lounge and eat the Wings. I went to Buffalo Wild Wings and bought a bottle of their Mango Habanero, opened it and tasted it as I was walking out the door. I took note of the flavor profile and and went shopping. I wanted my product to be similar but completely different and that is exactly what I got. When I finished the product I immediately went to the Bar That Monkey worked at with sample in hand for his approval. He ordered some naked wings and tossed them in the sauce and took a bite. As I stood there watching his stoic face the anticipation was killing me. He took another bite and then finally smiled and said "that is awesome. What are you gonna call it?" I thought for a quick moment and said "why Monkey sauce Naturally".

Lady if you have to sign a waiver that includes medical Bills and to hold no harm up to and including death, that's your first clue it's gonna hurt.
