FOOD

iBURN
Don’t let the name fool you. This isn’t an Apple®-related burning device. IT’S ACTUALLY THE CITY’S ONLY HOT SAUCE SHOP, and owner JAMES A. BECK JR. states
it best: “iBurn is a manifestation of everything I’ve always wanted in a spicy specialty
shop, but never found when visiting hot sauce shops around the world.” There really
is an exploding fiery foods industry, and if you’re a spicy food lover in search of the
next burn, iBurn is where you’ll find it. The store is shrine-like in its quest to offer all
things spicy, with over 500 hot sauces in stock on any given day. But Beck is quick to
point out that not everything is hot. Although you will find the hottest products on the
market, Brock shares, “We also carry a wide variety of barbecue products, jams and
jellies, condiments, pickled products, Bloody Mary mixes in mild, medium, hot and
ultra-hot.” Get ready to feel the burn.
