Few things demand more time and energy than our professions. One of the exceptions seems to be hot sauce, especially when shared among friends. Join ACUMA staff members Krista Korfmacher, Justin Hawkins, and Camryn Hinton as they put ACUMA President, Peter Benjamin, CMB, on the hot seat about what the association has accomplished in the first 18 months of his tenure, and what lies ahead for the future. The discussion is framed within the context of a hot sauce tasting in which the samples run from 2- to 9-out-of-10 on the Scoville heat units scale. The discussion is as lively as the group’s taste buds become as they plan for the future. Tune in for thoughts on professional development as well as culinary insights into one of the world’s most challenging foods. (Hint: Keep your eyes open for both Piko Riko and The Seventh Reaper hot sauces but proceed with caution.)
