Hey . . . back in the day, on Clement, a guy by the name of Carl English had a BBQ joint called the Firehouse.
His sauces were rated from 1 to 5 alarm, indicating the amount of "fire".
You familiar with the place, the man or the product?
I love the Firehouse! Still there, still a cool little joint when last I stopped in a couple of years back.
One of my friends moved to Oregon in 2010. He's a fellow fire-eater and lived about 1⁄2 mile from the Firehouse for a while, so we hung out there a couple of times a month. I'm big on hot sauce, but don't recall if I ever tried their house brand. We did a lot of drinking there too.
My friend was in the restaurant industry here for about 20 years before he moved, so he knows a lot of the restaurant owners in the city; me, not so much. So, I'm not sure if Mr. English is still the proprietor, but I'll ask next time we talk.
