Pirate's Gold Wins 1st Place (Golden Chile) Award at 10th Anniversary Fiery Food Challenge

Ft. Worth, TX - Pirate's Gold (officially now known as Island Gold) took home the coveted 1st Place (Golden Chile) Award during the 10th Anniversary Fiery Food Challenge on September 9 in Fort Worth, Texas in the barbeque sauce (mustard base) category.

The Fiery Food Challenge is the most recognized, most prominent competition of zesty products. With 79 categories, the competition was stiff. To find the best zest, culinary expert judges sampled every product through a series of blind tastings.
"This competition is the industry benchmark for superior bold, spicy and flavorful products," says LaDonna Thorne, Director of the Fiery Food Challenge. "Winning an award in the Fiery Food Challenge is indeed a prestigious honor."

The competition is sponsored by Chile Pepper magazine which produces the annual ZestFest food festival.
