Devilish Eggs - Founding Farmers - Washington, DC

We visited Washington DC this year for our grandson, Benjamin's, graduation for the Washington, DC Fire Academy.  After the graduation, we had lunch at Founding Farmers.  While we did not have the Devilish Eggs, I have posted the recipe below.  I found this recipe while watching "The Best Thing I Ever Ate" - Mid-Atlantic" on the Cooking Channel.  I really, really love deviled eggs.  However, most recipes are bland and really do not satisfy my taste buds.  The best deviled eggs require a little kick, a richness. a touch of sweet and a creamy texture.  At Founding Farmers, they serve a combo of Deviled Eggs called Devilish Eggs.  These eggs look great.  As a result, I have posted the recipes for these eggs hoping my blog friends and I will try them and report back.   So, here we go.
