 "I made this for our local tavern's Bears halftime spread. All the regulars take turns and the chili is a big deal each week. I was concerned that it would be too hot for some of their tastes but it was perfect...spicy without too much heat. Use the Spice House seasonings for sure!"

"Clay's chili is by far the best chili I have ever tasted. I think America agrees since he was the winner of the national chili cook off. Clay- you're recipe is just absolutely amazing!!! I thank you for sharing!!!"

"All good soups are "comfort foods" in some way. Only a few soups, however, are absolutely amazing and totally satisfying. Clay's Cajun Seafood Soup is far and away the most delicious and savory soup I have ever tasted."

Thank you!  Also, Steve(boss) was on the Chicago Spice House website and saw a link to your book.  That is how he managed to find the book.  He thinks the recipes are wonderful, as we all do.  He says, dollar for dollar it is the best cookbook he has ever bought.  Thanks again!
