Favorite hot sauce?

I like Tabasco Chipotle too, but for all those who love it--you should try El Yucateco's it's much better.

These days, cayenne based sauces are for very specific items--like BBQ. I just love the habanero taste so much. It's its own thing and enhances so many foods.

I really want to develop a capsaicin-free habanero, because the flavor is so unique and could be more universal if more people had access to it (the heat-averse types)

Glad you mentioned this. I will check out El yucateco

You could try growing them next to bell pepper. I hear growing hots next to milds reduces the heat. Dunno how true it is.

Edit:
For all those contemplating El Yucateco, but aren't sure, you gotta get it. It's very unique compared to typical sauces. It's dry, with no vinegar flavor. Just an easy heat, and great taste. It's also less than $2 a bottle. Cheap gamble.

A local Mexican joint gives you chips and salsa before your meal. They also put out a ranch type dressing. I like using the ranch on a chip, and putting the El Yucateco on top. It gives a great cool/hot combination, and the flavors mesh perfectly.

You're doing it wrong . It's all about selection.

 

[Mermaidman]

. . . but I already have a whole lineup of hot sauces that will last me years.

I think some hot sauces lose their heat after a while. Can anyone confirm?

 

[preCRT]

I prefer a mild sauce, Sambal Oelek

Sriracha for everything for me. The flat top and not the pointy top.

 

[The Boston Dangler]

Sriracha on everything. Depending on what I'm eating I also mix it with mayo or ketchup

ooof, way too hot for me. i tried it but i have no idea how it tastes, nothing but fire.

The founder of the red rooster hot sauce is seeing red.

David Tran, CEO of Sriracha-maker Huy Fong Foods, said his company could have lost up to $10 million and faced bankruptcy if a judge had granted the shutdown of the factory that makes the much-loved sauce, according to a statement he provided to The Los Angeles Times.

Huy Fong Foods is engaged in an ongoing legal battle with the city of Irwindale, Calif., where its Sriracha factory is located. Last month, a judge denied a request by the city to halt the company's operations after residents complained that fumes resulting from the processing of chilies were causing headaches and burning eyes.

i'm sure their hype machine will see the company through these tough times.

 

[ThinClient]

Is this, like, Brand X?

 

[Agent11]

Huy Fong Sriracha, followed closely by Tobasco.

The last I heard, the judge had shot down the closure of the plant.

but of course, it ain't over till it's over. Irwindale is going to continue the fight.

I think I have one bottle of Original Juan's 100% Pain that is 6 years old, and yeah, still as strong as ever.

 

[Agent11]

Just goes to show what kind of overly entitled idiots are in charge of Irwindale.

Can't be having a thriving business that actually creates a product enjoyed by millions now can we? I wonder if anyone in a position of authority in Irwindale has been speculating on the land around the factory.

 

[feralkid]

Is this, like, Brand X?

Wally-world house brand.

 

[schmuckley]

Grace..good flavor like Louisiana yet hotter.

The bottle looks like Louisiana brand. I wouldn't be surprised if they made it for them.

 

[RadiclDreamer]

Depends on the food.

Tacos and bean burritos = Texas Pete
Fajitas and soups = Tobasco
Enchiladas = El Yucateco red, green and xxx hot habanero
Quesadilla = Sriracha

 

[SheHateMe]

Franks, Louisiana Hot, and Sriracha
