Competitors can make drinks, appetizers, entrées, side dishes or desserts, so long as they use the spicy sauce. 

Their culinary creations will be judged by a panel, including Houshmand and Landmark Americana co-owner Dave Goldman, at the event.

Hot sauce enthusiasts are welcome to watch the judging, and might pick up a few new recipes while there.
