I guess the sauce killed Jmcrofts. Would love to hear how it is!

Folks, what are some good foods to put hot sauce on for people who don't eat meat? I know about eggs, and burritos of course, but I feel like there's gotta be something to get the same je ne sais quoi as a hot-sauce-laden wing.

It's kinda funny, in this season of Hot Ones, everyone seems to freak out when they get to Mega Death Sauce, but then after that when they do The Last Dab they're just like "yeah ok this is hot I guess" I expected it to be more ridiculous than that.

Anyone here make their own hot sauce? I might look into that weird world.

Has anyone ever done homemade buffalo sauce? I'm trying to find a recipe that I can make straight from fermented mash, and also without using a grip of butter if possible (but I won't complain if it can't be done!)

Like, just mix hot sauce and butter, boom, Bob's your uncle.

I picked up the Hot Ones sauce, the Homeboys Habanero sauce, and the Queen Majesty Black Coffee and Habanero sauce... all of them are delicious, but none of them make me wince from heat. Guess it's time to put in another order...

El Yucateco is a classic.

It's not that hot, but does anyone else like classic Cholula on eggs?

Hell yeah. Cholula, Tapatio, Texas Pete, all the mild vinegar sauces are great on eggs.

Anyone know a good, decently available sauce that’s around 100,000 Scoville, similar to the heat in Halal Guys red sauce, if you’ve had it.

I love that loving sauce and can’t get enough packets, but it’s a pain in the rear end to get over to the restaurant.

This one's around 83,000

This one is 100,000

Both tasty. But once you get up into that Scoville range, "decently available" is relative. You won't find anything at your local grocery store probably, unless they have an unusually good hot sauce selection.

Of tempting relevance perhaps---can't say I can recall seeing a hot sauce company going the crowdfunding route on anything prior, but on the other hand, I'd not be terribly surprised to have simply missed any number of them as it was only by sheer chance I stumbled upon this outright:

With the aardvark or dirty dicks, do you just use the sauce or do you ever make it like normal wings (Franks and butter)?

I'm pretty sure the hot wings lineup always just tosses in pure sauce

My folks pour a whole jar over a block of cream cheese and eat it with crackers. I thought it was normal growing up but have never seen it elsewhere. Not bad though.

Yeah I like hot pepper jam on top of cream cheese on top of a Ritz cracker. I usually just make each cracker a la cart, I'd be too tempted to eat an entire block of cream cheese otherwise.

What everyone's favorite "extremely hot" sauce? Stuff in the league of Da Bomb, Mad Dog 357, Blaire's ____ Death, etc.

I have the standards: El Yuc, Secret Aardvark, Hot Ones Chipotle, Hot Ones Habanero, etc, but I want something more intense in my lineup.

I have to buy more Aardvark anyway, so I was gonna throw something else in the cart.

Blair's Mega Death trip report: surprisingly delicious for as spicy as it is. Definitely a once-in-a-while sauce, and given that I think it's worth the price.

I think Beyond Insanity has extra extract in it that gives it a chemical taste that people don't like.

So where do you all go to buy hot sauces online? I don't mind spending a couple of bucks on hot sauce but it feels bad to spend $10 on a single bottle when I go to the local hispanic grocery store and pick up a couple of bottles of Yucateco or Valentina for the same price.

$10+ is pretty standard for good hot sauces that aren’t mass produced at the levels of Tabasco/El Yuc/etc

I’ve always ordered from Heatonist, they have awesome customer service. But even Amazon is pretty great.

Thanks for taking a few for the team. I have a couple of those samplers on my Amazon wishlist. Would you get the Queen Majesty pack again in the future and have you tried the Bravado 4-pack? Thought that one looked interesting.

I can't speak to all the Queen Majesty sauces, but the Red Habanero Black Coffee sauce they do is probably... top 3 for me, easily.

Dave's Ghost Pepper Sauce is really good. Sort of like a midway point between the flavor of Secret Aardvark and the not-quite-as-hot-as heat of Dave's Insanity Sauce.

Busted out my Blair's Mega Death yesterday mixed with a little ketchup and mustard as a fry dipping sauce.

It's still too much for me to put on anything straight, but a couple dabs mixed in with a sauce is great, it's really fruity

It really nails “this is pretty spicy” without being weird and trashy like a lot of hot sauce labels do.

Can you really be a hot sauce if you don't mention "satan" OR "buttholes"???
