I know many of you here love to cook and at least a few of you are connoisseurs of the spicy, so I was wondering: what do you think is the best commercial hot sauce?

All the poll options are popular brands available in the USA but if you have a favorite that isn't listed here, please mention it.

Yucateca is good, but there's another one I'm a big fan of that comes in 2 intensities. I'm trying to think of the name...


oh and Tuong Ot Sriracha is a good stand-by

I'm a big fan of Cholula for straight up hot sauce.
If I want something with a thicker consistency to substitute ketchup, I'll go with the rooster.

I'm not a huge fan of Tabasco, but their garlic flavor is good.

Blair's is way tasty if you are like me and want to make consumption a challenge. I also have to go out of my way to get it.

I love Tobasco on eggs and the occasional slice.

Cholula is a great all-around hot sauce.

Tobasco, honestly. Very sharp and somewhat intense.

Severe lack of Valentina, guys.

Taste-wise, I'd go with Frank's extra hot.

I am a situation specific hot sauce guy-
Texas Pete for fried chicken (both hot and cold) and pork chops.

Pho gets Sriracha.

Raw oysters get both classic tabasco and horseradish.

I like the green tabasco on thai food and fried fish.

I make my own vinegar sauce for collards, turnip greens, cabbage and mustard greens. It's also good on fried fish.

BBQ is a whole other world of sauces.

I have been all about the Chipotle Tabassco as of late. I also like the green. I am about flavor, not heat.

Is Ray's Rad Chilies Hot Sauce any good?

Big fan, used it this morning.


I had no idea this existed, just ordered one
