Once upon a time, a college student named Ben Drum inadvertently stuck a jalapeño pepper into a pile of ketchup and pulled out a heck of an idea. He founded Spiceitup! and now produces a line of spicy products such as dusting salts (Jalapeño, and Garlic and Peppers), two jalapeño ketchups (hot and medium-hot), and a blood-curdling Bloody Jalapeño Bloody Mary mix. The line is perfect for summer, ready for backyard barbecues and Sunday morning hair-of-the-dog Bloody Marys. Order online at spiceitup.com. Also available at David’s Meat Market (4010 N. Jupiter Rd., Garland. 972-495-8315) and Hirsch’s Meats (1301 W. Parker Rd., Plano. 972-633-5593).
