Dixies barbecue in Bellevue is locally renowned for serving hot, hot chili. Eating aforementioned chili is colloquially known as "meeting the man". I decided to investigate on Saturday. The proprietor makes a show out of coming around to each table and gruffly asking customers if they had ever met the man, if they wanted to meet the man today, and if so, how much. A half teaspoon lead me to wonder at what stage such a spicy sauce i. becomes a health hazard ii. must be regulated by some government agency. This article fleshes out the Dixies story, and I draw your attention to one exchange in particular: What's in "The Man"? Heat.
