Whoa! WTH, you ask?? What’s the meaning of this? I thought this is a family-friendly site catered to those with a love of spicy food! This sounds like some kind of “R” (or even higher) rated post!
Relax, folks. I’m not talking about someONE, but rather, someTHING – the kind of honey we all know about – the one that comes from thousands of buzzing bees! 🙂
Always a pizza lover (in addition to spicy food), I succumbed to my cravings today and went Detroit-style – grabbed a curbside from Via 313. Did my usual loading up of crushed red pepper on top of a jalapeno-loaded pizza, but this time (my second time ordering from them), I noticed something on the menu I’d never noticed before – Mike’s Hot Honey. I ordered a side of it, wanting to see if it truly lived up to its name.
Needless to say, it did! I noticed its red color, and boy did it give a kick! Never did I think pizza and honey go well together – two great things, but never thought a merger of sorts could happen – just no discernible synergies (how’s that for business speak – need to put that MBA of mine to use once in a while!). But for the first time EVER, I found myself pouring it on my pizza (sometimes below, sometimes on top of the crushed red pepper) and dipping my crusts. It had such a knockout kick, you kept wanting more!
After finishing what I’d ordered, I did a quick Google search and lo and behold – They’re a Brooklyn, NY-based company! Here’s their website again – https://mikeshothoney.com/. You can order directly and they’ve got recipes too. Needless to say, I’m impressed and they’ll be getting a new customer for life!
Spice on, my friends!
