Season 2, Episode 39: Hot Peppers!
Got some hot stuff for you!
Friends warned us that food would be bland in central PA...but not all of it! I talked to two pepper product people; Beth Cowher, who makes her Backyard Flavors sandwich peppers in Aaronsburg, and Janet Robinson, who's been making her Piper's Peck products on the hill outside of Bellefonte since 1998. We talk Scoville units, and pepper jellies, and how to cool the burn; all that hot fun stuff.
What else? Well, we haven't cooked for a while, so I'll tell you about how I finally solved a 45 year cooking mystery that's been bedeviling me (with the help of the good folks at the Penns Valley Meat Market). And my basement bar is finally done, and, well, I'm pretty excited about that!
Next episode? I'm headed up to northeast PA where my friend Chip The Beer Guy has pulled off something a little bit magical. I'll talk to him about it, and visit five breweries (and an OG beer bar, and a neighborhood kielbasa butcher)...in two weeks!
Until then?

I shared this with my cousin who went to school with Kara Suhey. She too was at a loss as to how a show about eating and drinking in central PA would intentionally fail to mention Suhey peppers. She felt the omission was glaring. “That can’t be right. That can’t be right.” she said. You dropped the ball here. 🤷♀️

That is unfortunate but it doesn’t quite explain why Suhey peppers were completely left out of the conversation. It would be akin to doing a show about cola and intentionally omitting Coca Cola. The brand Suhey is synonymous with 🌶️🌶️ peppers in the State College area. To not even mention the most popular brand name once? It just doesn’t make sense. Are you saying they were left out because you did not get a response from the Suheys? Really?

I did reach out to them, and got zero response. Janet got back to me the same day. Would have been happy to talk to the Suhey family.

How do you do a show about hot peppers 🌶️🌶️ in Central PA and NOT mention SUHEY peppers? Not even once? 🤔 They are legendary in State College.
