Last day for WMD Hot Sauce

Bobby Bolders, the hot-pepper fiend who opened WMD Hot Sauce (1212 South St.) in late 2009, has announced that today will be the store's final day in business. We'll no longer be able to drop by for re-ups of his excellent bhut jolokia sauces, among other potent food-enhancing, lip-buzzing elixirs. There is a bit of upside to this bummer bit of news, though — customers will be still be able to acquire all of Bolders' sauces via wmdhotsauce.com (free shipping no matter what the order size), and he says he's looking to expand his presence in local bars and restaurants, too.

Aww, this is sad news. Bobby is such a nice guy whose passion and enthusiasm for his wares made me an immediate fan. I wish him all the best with his online venture and really do hope to see some of these sauces in more restaurants.

If Bobby is pinning his hopes on online sales, he should look into http://www.shopify.com/ or similar.
