My dad likes it when his chili makes him sweat. I have grown up in a hostile environment when it comes to spicy foods. I prefer "fire" over "mild" or "spicy." If my lips aren't burning or my eyes aren't watering, a dash of cayenne here, some red pepper flakes there. My best chili pepper recipe is inspired by a love for jalapeños. —Arden Leigh Montgomery
