NFT: Hot sauce questions.

.

Favorite supermarket hot sauce is anything by El Yucateco.
My go-to boutique hot sauce is anything by Big Reds, link below. The ghost pepper one is outstanding on beef. God's Wrath, I think it is. It's really not too spicy.

Tapatio. It's pretty mild. I don't like really spicy hot sauce on plain eggs.

Is pretty good, though far & away my personal favorites are Marie Sharp�s from Belize, or Melinda�s.

brooklyn called Heatonist is supposedly great for Hot Sauce

Sriracha, Sambal Oelek, Texas Pete, and a local place hot bbq sauce. Depends on what I am eating. But I grow my own Serranos and habaneros and make my own. I started with Rick Bayless� recipe and I have altered to suit my tastes over the years.

buy it almost exclusively. Accidentally got the Franks buffalo recently. Not as good, a little hotter and saltier.

It�s hand made and local to Tucson, AZ but they sell online. I love ordering it in bulk. It�s fantastic for Mexican food but goes great with just about anything (eggs, sandwiches, etc). My go to flavors are Mexican Hot Sauce and Green Jalape�o - sometimes I�ll use both at the same time.

If I�m out of this stuff, I�ll go with El Yucatan, Tapatio or Cholula

Eaton's or Spur Tree Scotch Bonnet pepper sauce are very good
with plenty of bite. Too bad Golden Krust stopped making their red pepper scotch bonnet sauce. I thought this was the best. For tossing wings in a pan with butter Franks is my favorite.

When I know I going to use it I do not salt my food first.
When eating Mexican I prefer Chulula other wise Tabasco is my default.

but caldo sauce sources from local (nj) farms and has several unique flavors.

Smoked Bandit is my favorite while not the hottest the flavor is great.

Melindas

Cholula and Sriracha on hand.

Imo Frank's is vastly overrated, heat without much flavor or nuance.

is my fave. Use Franks for my buffalo sauce, mixed with worcestershire, vinegar, cayenne, black pepper, red pepper, celery seed, tobasco, corn starch and finished with butter). Also like Louisiana.

? Leave in clear glass in window? How's it work?

It's F***ING vinegar and red.

I like an artisnal lime based hot sauce made with peppers and garlic or my own old fashioned fiery blend.

Cholula Chili Garlic- Excellent on a Jersey Burger with Pork Roll and Cheese. Such a good combination.
Tapatio for eggs/potatoes, El Yucateo Habanero for Micheladas, Frank's for chicken and ground beef.
Also keep Asian Fresh Hot Chile Pepper, Sambal Oelek and Calabrian Chiles in the fridge.
Still have some really hot Hatch Green Chiles in the freezer that I roasted last fall. Usually they wouldn't last this long but they are really hot. Just defrosted some to use in a White Turkey Chile.

Hanks Hot Sauce. I really like the Cilantro one. goes well with eggs. Other than that, I usually use Franks.

I usually keep 3 of the Tabasco sauces around, plus Sriracha, I love the El Yucateco (artificially green colored habanero) the 3X is pretty good too.
I've gone and ordered a 12 pack of Poblano, and a mix of the Big Red's.
I plan on seeking out the NJ made sauces as well. I also like another NJ made sauce called Born To Hula. A bunch on unique tasting sauces. Here's a link to them.

I actually have started to like franks more than I used to and it�s now my favorite. Where I now feel Texas Pete has changed something. But maybe i just needed change.

Tabasco is always that 3rd option when I want to torture myself w that horrible lip burn w an oyster poboy

Ditto

Did Franks use to be Durkee?

Love their smoked version

And Kenji in particular put out a list of 30 great hot sauces last year. I�ve been buying from the site mentioned (Heat Hot Sauce). I have many favorites depending on the type of cuisine. Todd�s Inner Beauty comes to mind. I haven�t had a bad sauce by Lucky Dog either.

spicy, but I don't like heat that is generated from extracts, I prefer real ingredients. I just think the balance seems more natural.

One hot sauce I tried that was really good is zatarain's cajun hot sauce.

I used to buy their dirty rice mix, and it is really good and easy to make, so I found the hot sauce and tried it. Nice blend of flavor and heat.

can you guys taste the food if your putting hot sauce on it. Someone mentioned it's too salty.I admit i'm a whimp when it comes to spicy food. On occasion I will add a little hot salsa sauce to my mild salsa.
