DrFishfinder Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 You get one guess Too bad the price has gone up so much. Crystal is a pretty good alternative. Best Name: "Slap My Ass and Call Me Sally"
ajzepp Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 When you go a good while w/out having any Franks, and then you taste it again, there is SO much delicious flavor that it's almost shocking.
HopsGuy Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 Too bad the price has gone up so much. Crystal is a pretty good alternative. Best Name: "Slap My Ass and Call Me Sally" $2.25 for a 12 oz bottle @ Target today. That's some sticker-shock. Was $1.50 not long ago. Looks like I'll have to drop that other habit back to just just a couple bumps/day.
Steely Dan Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 I like Tabasco Sauce the best but that's expensive. This stuff is awesome!
el Tigre Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 Tapatio is my favorite and it's cheap too. After reading the article I'm gonna have to give Franks a try.
The Dean Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 I like Tabasco Sauce the best but that's expensive. This stuff is awesome! No doubt Franks is best for wings, but I agree "Best Overall" has to be Tobasco. I actually really like Tobasco Habanero, but it is very hard to find in the stores. I get it at the discount grocery here (dented cans, out of date, etc). Another fantastic hot sauce is Melinda's. The XXXXtra Hot Reserve is delicious.

Jim in Anchorage Posted June 27, 2010 Author Posted June 27, 2010 I am not a big fan of Tabasco sauce, but love tabasco peppers. I will open a jar of Trappey's tabasco peppers and eat them like candy. I will not accept chile without them. Small,crunchy and just the right amount of heat and flavor.

The XXXXtra Hot Reserve is delicious. You can mail order the Habanero right from Tabasco. Not sure how the price compares to your discount grocery though. As for me, I might get some of that Crazy Uncle Jesters Afterburner Sauce.

The Dean Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 You can mail order the Habanero right from Tabasco. Not sure how the price compares to your discount grocery though. I almost ordered online, until I found it locally for far less (and no shipping!). I used to be able to buy it in the regular grocery store in other parts of the country, but not here. I always try to keep a few bottles of this or the regular Tabasco in my trunk, for "emergencies". I use either one as "ketchup" for my fries.
BuffaloBill Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 The farmers market in Nashville had a vendor that only sold hot sauce. It was worth stopping in just to read some of the names.
Just Jack Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 The farmers market in Nashville had a vendor that only sold hot sauce. It was worth stopping in just to read some of the names. There used to be a store in downtown Syracuse that sold only hot sauce. He ended up going to just mail order because he wasn't getting enough walk in business. Same as you said, it was interesting to just go and see all the different brands.... The Hot Shoppe
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 Only use Franks when I make wings. But I *love* Tabasco green.
RayFinkle Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 Mad Dog 357....you should also pick up a gallon of milk, some tums, and some baby wipes.

Wooderson Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 12oz? Ohhhhhh I get it, you must want that for a travel size.
GOBILLS78 Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 Used to love it, now it's just way too salty. Texas Pete is where I am from now on.
