Dave's Gourmet[edit]

Advertisement/Spam.

Keep very well known among spicy food fans. I also don't think this is an ad or spam, as the article claims Daves is notable "only" for its hot sauces. If someone from Dave's wrote it, they would have mentioned Daves' other products, like the popcorn and drink mixes. In fact, I think I know more about Dave's Gourmet than whoever wrote this article, so I doubt it's anyone from the company. To summarise: evidence suggest this is NOT an ad or spam, and it's definitely notable. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:14, Jan 16, 2005 (UTC)

Weak keep. Dave's Insanity Sauce is reasonably notable, although we had an article about it which was a copyvio, and was deleted and replaced by a redirect to Habanero chile. ~~I could have sworn it went through VfD but can't find the discussion.~~ If this article is kept, Dave's Insanity Sauce should redirect here. If memory serves, Dave's Insanity Sauce was one of the very first sauces to be made directly from capsaicin extract. Dpbsmith (talk) 02:17, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC) The contents of the deleted article was:

Dave’s Gourmet hot sauces are the result of Dave owning and managing a small restaurant called Burrito Madness near the University of Maryland. Late at night a number of Dave’s patrons were usually drunk and troublesome. Quickly Dave discovered that if some of these drunks ate super hot hot sauce, then they either left or became extremely quiet. Since it worked out that the hotter the sauce, the faster drunk patrons left; Dave went on a mission to create the hottest sauce in the Universe. The end result of this mission was Insanity Sauce which Dave took to the National Fiery Foods Show in New Mexico. At the show the sauce made quite an impression and not just because of the straight jacket that Dave wore. In fact, Daves Insanity Sauce became the only product ever banned for being too hot. Since that day over 8 years ago: Burrito Madness was sold, Dave set up Dave’s Gourmet, Inc., and seventy other products have been added to Dave’s Gourmet’s offerings.

Delete, borderline notability. Looks like advertising and probably is. Megan1967 02:16, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Keep, although it needs help - I'm not a fan of crazy-hot hot sauces, and even I've heard of their product. -- Cyrius|✎ 03:28, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
