Salsa worth driving for

- Joe's Circle C Hot Sauce -

Whether it's called salsa or hot sauce, wherever a person may have to drive from to get it, Joe's Circle C in Rotan has the goods.

This homemade condiment is so delicious that it could make cardboard palatable.

Something that makes the trip extra special is to get a batch that's so fresh the jar is warm.

It's $5.00 for a small jar, $10.00 for a large. Sometimes there are other sizes, sometimes they may be marked hot or mild. Any size or style is better than none at all.

The store itself is super quaint, with an old concrete floor and a kitchen in the back. Other delicacies, such as homemade cakes and preserves, are also sold at the counter. Burritos, many, many burritos, are sold daily.

If it's going to be a long trip just for hot sauce, it's best to call ahead. There's no guarantee that there will be any left.
