Let’s talk about “mike’s HOT HONEY”!
This stuff is awesome. I was first introduced to chili-infused honey a few years back on a swing through Greenpoint, Brooklyn. A friend of mine took us to a great pizza spot, Paulie Gee’s, and there is a pizza there called “Hellboy” which consists of fresh mozzarella, Italian tomatoes, soppressata piccante, Parmigiano-Reggiano and Mike’s Hot Honey. The sweet/salty combination is the dinner version of maple syrup with your breakfast sausage/bacon, with the added kick of hot peppers. And all you get is the heat, it’s not pepper-flavored honey! Just pure honey sweetness with burn.
After my meal at Paulie Gee’s, I went home with a bottle. It didn’t last long, and frankly, I kind of forgot about it after that. Recently I had a pizza at When Pig’s Fly in Kittery that had Mike’s on it and that was all it took for me to order a bottle straight from the source. I’m reminded of its greatness on Otto’s pizza night at the homestead.
Just another great condiment to have around, I highly recommend it.
