I've always admired the small business feel of Huy Fong. I first heard of it in the early 2000s at my local Chinese restaurant. They would ask how hot I wanted my food and then pour a few drops of this mysterious sauce in. It gave the food such a unique flavor. When asked about what the sauce was they showed me the Sriracha bottle. They sold the bottles as an unadvertised secret menu item. At the time no local stores carried it. The super secret nature of it made me feel like part of a special club. Now it's everywhere. I still like how they don't need to advertise. The quality of their product speeks for itself.

Being born and raised in Louisiana there were only three hot sauces at our table...Tabasco, Crystal, and Louisiana Hot Sauce. Each hot sauce had their use. Tabasco was for rice dishes like Jambalaya, Dirty rice or gumbo with rice. Crystal was for seafood, fried fish or shrimp, and Louisiana was best for fried chicken, turkey, and cracklins. I still apply that rule today except for I've expanded my Tabasco collection to use the jalapeño and Chipotle sauces, both of which are really good too.

@@sheenawilliams3672 Yeah, that's a great idea. I too grew up with like 4 typical hot sauces only -- Buffalo & Valentina for mexican and my parents would often buy one of those vinegar dominated hot sauces usually tabasco but occasionally Louisiana Hot Sauce and maybe once Crystal (it's hard to find in IL at least when I was growing up). My parents would occasionally try a change of pace by using El Yucatan hot sauce which is a different type of hot sauce -- it's habanero and it's much thicker sauce full of flavor. But now that I think about it, I do l like the vinegar dominated sauces like Tabasco on soups and it's also a good option for certain rice dishes. After a few years of living on my own after college, I started to try different sauces. Franks became one I would occasionally buy as it goes well with some sandwiches and for BBQ food. Cholula & Tapatio became popular and I gave them a try and now they are my go to hot sauces so I always have one or the other. Siracha is also one I occasionally buy -- very flavorful. There are also less popular but often more expensive and interesting hot sauces I buy on occasion. I now buy spicy chili crisp which is Asian condiment that is basically spicy chili crisp in a little oil.

Now i keep a small bottle of Tobasco in my purse. But i truly love and prefer Crystals and Louisiana hot sauce over all. Its still nice to keep a bottle of Tobasco in the house and in my bag though.

No, everything is fine. Avery island is not a real “island.” It is basically just a large hill poking up in the Louisiana marsh. It is one of a few “islands” in South Louisiana that were formed by salt domes that pushed the land up from below. So when a hurricane comes, the island is high enough that the crops don’t get hit by the storm surge. And the pepper plants grow fairly low to the ground anyway so they tend to hold up pretty well against a strong wind. But even if the worst would happen, they also grow pepper crops in a few other countries as a contingency plan.

I was never big on hot sauce. Dad usually went with texas pete or louisiana. My mom started buying the Hello Fresh meals in 2020 since going to the grocery store was hard during the pandemic. Some of their meals included little packets of Cholula hot sauce. I was having left overs and needed to make it better and I found the packet and I've been in love ever since and it is the one brand both my dad and I like, so that's what we get now.

Hello Fresh is also how I got put on to Cholula. I always used to buy Frank's prior to that. But I tried the Cholula when I started getting HF and found that I liked it better.

Really depends on what I am using it for. Tabasco is good as a seasoning agent, like worcestershire. As a hot sauce, Texas Pete is my favorite. Cholula's not bad either, smokier than most of the others. Sriracha is great in soups and ramen, as well as stirfry's. I don't really consider it a "hot sauce" though. Or at least I don't use it like one. I consider more in the vein of hoisin and oyster sauce.

My husband is originally from Thailand and he uses none of those you listed. We use a chili paste sauce that we mix with a little bit of vinegar to add to food. In addition to jalapeños and other small chilies. We used to live in LA and year and a half ago, we moved to Northern California. Our friends in LA told us they haven’t been able to get this particular chili sauce we use for over four months because they had a bad chili pepper crop due to the drought. We had half a jar of it so we hadn’t bought any in a while. We went to the store and looked and there’s nothing but knock off brands. So of course we bought several because we are desperate to never run out of it. Lol, even my Thai husband says that spicy food is addictive. 😋🥰

Just gonna drop a little tidbit on Tabasco - Avery Island isn't actually an island per se, its a salt dome. They actually use the salt mined from the dome in the manufacturing/aging process - they also credit it with giving soil a bountiful quality.

He had two flavors, a smoky flavor and a citrus flavor. I really liked the smoky flavor. It had a great amount of heat, but as it dissipates it becomes a smoky flavor. The citrus was more heat with a little hint of lime. That has been my favorite "go-to" sauce ever since. Also, i really LOVE Tabasco Cheez Itz. They are sooo good. The name of that sauce is A La Brava if you are in the western carolinas it can be found at Harris Teeter and Ingles super markets.

The only problem now is that Sriracha has been in very short supply for that last year or so due to drought where the peppers are grown.
