Never seen Crystal.

Ha. 8 bucks on Amazon. 20 bucks on Wal-Marts site.

Not a huge fan of Louisiana style hot sauce though.

It's got a couple mentions here, might just grab a bottle next time I order from Amazon.

WAIT How much??? That's a crazy price. I think I pay $2 tops for a bottle, but I do live in Louisiana where it's made.

In CA, Crystal is around $2/bottle give or take $0.50 depending on where you buy it.

I typically make my own hot sauces, from hot to insane, but I will lean towards fresh spicy salsa over a hot sauce.

The two I do buy though are Tapatio (if you like Valentina, give this one a try) and Huy Fong cock sauce (sriracha), because you just can't beat perfection.

Heh, just remembered that time like 6 or so years ago when AndyTV and I went and collected as many different brands of sriracha as we could find, even had a few mailed into the country, probably 15-18 bottles between us. Each one of us came to the conclusion that Huy Fong was the winner.

Ya, I tried several brands that I could find locally and Huy Fong was the winner.

There's a video somewhere about how its made and the lil old man that started the company. The peppers are ground and processed within hours of harvest. Pretty cool.

Tobasco and sriracha are staples for me. Almost anything tastes better with either.

Tip... Try sriracha on pot roast. Friggin' delicious!

If you're looking for sheer heat why mix in a few chopped *ghost* peppers? If you want to add a certain flavor profile asking for that here is like asking for a cigar recommendation.

I like the sauce that Hinza sells / sold.

Tasty but not overly hot and overpowering.

That was good stuff. Of course, overpowering can be fun too.

Wonder how Hinza's doing?

true, but really bbq sauce. think I have one more bottle left.

As for flavor AND heat, I agree with tgerbs...Huy Fong Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce and Huy Fong Chili Garlic Sauce.
But I like many others too.
Local guy makes some good stuff under the Hillside Harvest name. Good. Not great, but I like buying it to help the local biz.

Not as hot, a bit overpriced, but very tasty and versatile is Pepper Palace's Southern Peach and Vidalia Onion.
Kinda like some hot sauces wif mango too.

Dropped the Tabasco.

FRANK's Red Hot (I put that sh*t on everything!), Tapatio and Sriracha!

When I make my spicy bbq sauce, I use a couple TBSP of Sriracha.

Speaking of putting chit on everything, I've used Frank's as salad dressing on occasion, and Tabasco as a ketchup alternative for fries

I treat hot sauce like I treat cigars. Looking to try as many as possible
