Show & Tell: Inside a House of Hot Sauce With Vic Clinco
In this episode of Show & Tell, Gastro Obscura associate editor Anne Ewbank speaks with Vic Clinco, an avid hot sauce fan with the (unofficial) largest collection of hot sauces in the world. Clinco’s collection started 22 years ago, when his wife gifted him a few bottles for Christmas. Today his collection is around 9,200 bottles, organized by region, including a shelf dedicated solely to Tabasco. Clinco also has rare bottles, such as hand-blown ones in the shape of a Carolina Reaper, a hot sauce grenade, and a bottle of crystalized capsaicin oil that clocks in at 16 million Scoville Heat Units—making it the hottest on the planet.
