History of The Chili Dude

I am Back in Business AGAIN!!!

Sometimes life throws you a curve ball. You find that the people you care about are not what they seem. I have gotten a very negative Person out of my life and Thank God for that. So in turn Life is a joy again and THE CHILI DUDE is back in business AGAIN!!!! Hope you have the Yearn to Burn!!!

The Chili Dude's first encounter with peppers was the summer of 1992. A neighbor grew what he had thought was Jalapeno peppers. After one BAD BURN, The Chili Dude was hooked.

After his severe burn with tears, pain and unadulterated pleasure, The Chili Dude began to search for chilis and anything else HOT but really could not find much of anything in the stores. So, The Chili Dude decided to grow his own.

He looked in some nurseries and found one that had a some Exotic pepper plants. That nursery closed the very next year. Only a couple of those plants did well, so The Chili Dude figured it was time to do some reading.

He found the book "The Whole Chile Pepper Book". That book turned The Chili Dude to all sorts of wonderful information and seed sources.

Since reading "The Whole Chili Pepper Book", The Chili Dude has taken his abilities to new levels and prompted him to enter the chili pepper business. He is looking forward to a long and promising future for The Chili Dude!
