loyal2dagame Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Tabasco, followed by Sriracha. I think Frank's has to much of a vinegar flavor and I only like it on wings, pizza and a few other foods Quote

From one pepper mild to the 3rd hottest hot sauce sold in the US. My DJ friend kept talking about Crystal Hot Sauce from Louisiana. You'll find it in most restaurants in New Orleans. I ordered a 32 oz bottle ($4 for the bottle, $15 for the shipping). It is the PERFECT hot sauce! I can't remember the last time I've used any of the other hot sauces in my fridge. Crystal is that good. What is the 3rd hottest sauce sold in the US? Quote
Jauronimo Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Totally depends on the food I am applying it to. I generally have a shelf in the fridge dedicated to nothing but hot sauces. These sauces range from sauces I would describe as contact solution up to heat levels that are absurd. They all have their place. Except for the extract based sauces which should never go on food. Those are only for watching people suffer. 1 1 Quote
Augie Posted February 5 Posted February 5 (edited) I ordered wings hot at a pizza joint I like. They warned me, the hot is not a sauce, it’s a rub, and it’s VERY hot. Medium it was to go along with my slice. After a few minutes a guy comes in with his wife and sits at the bar next to me. He orders hot wings and they give him the warning. He says “that’s what beer is for.” As he’s finishing the first wing I ask how the heat is. “Just fine”, but he does order another beer. During the second wing he kinda stops and mutters “it builds on you.” I knew something was up with his eyes and nose running like that all of a sudden. Another beer. I admit, I am a quitter when it comes to something like that. But this guy was STUBBORN! He charged ahead and kept ordering beer, and his wife kept telling him he was an idiot. “They warned you! But NO! Not YOU” 😂 . Edited February 7 by Augie 3 Quote

For some reason, at that place and with that food, that is the only correct answer. It’s weird. Quote

coloradobillsfan Posted February 7 Posted February 7 I can't let a thread about hot sauce go by without mentioning Melinda's. The XXXX reserve has been my go-to for decades, and lately I have become addicted to their fire roasted garlic squeeze bottle. Make no mistake; this is habanero sauce so you probably wouldn't toss your wings directly in this, but it's perfect for dabbing on pizza, tacos, eggs, that kind of thing. Heat and flavor, that's the ticket. A well balanced hot sauce should make you reach for another bite, not running to the fridge for a drink to put out the flames Quote

davefan66 Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Franks. Used to have a hot sauce/BBQ store around the corner. Let you sample rubs and sauces before purchasing. Found a lot of good tasting sauces for sure. Bought and enjoyed quite a few sauces I’d never have tried otherwise. Like a sweeter/hotter sauce. Kinda zeroed in on mango hot sauces…delicious. Always comes back to Franks for everyday use. Quote
