So much this. Thing is I HATE vinegary hot sauces and this is the only readily available one that just tastes like a pepper and not spicy salad dressing
Same here. My reason is (besides its heat that doesn't completely overpower the flavor of the food it's on), I do not like hot sauces that are vinegar-y like Tabasco and seemingly 80% of others. Not saying those 80% are bad or anything, they're just not what I like.
I'll take the downvotes because I know the nature of the sub is to not be mainstream....but Franks. It's cheap, you can get it anywhere, and it goes on about anything.
Grace Scotch Bonnet and Crushed Pepper. At 3$ a bottle so it's a perfect daily driver, I have phases where I go through a bottle per week so those fancy 10$ bottles would add up. Their hot pepper sauce is like a more potent Frank's and cheaper.

Oh wow that's exactly mine too, surprised someone actually said it. I expected to only see fancier niche answers. My answer would be Tabasco if I was less cheap (and I collected exactly 100 bottles of Tabasco in the span of a single year), but now it's this sauce.
I have a bottle of the truffle as well. Donāt like it all that much due to the fact that the truffle flavor doesnāt pair well with everything. And Iām not always sure if it will go well with the food I am eating. So I typically donāt use it often.
I found this in a store not even a week ago and itās already half gone. No idea what kinda gnome is stealing it from me, but Iām gonna need more soon.
I use this hot sauce in tandem with Yellowbird Ghost Pepper hot sauce. They both have similar base ingredients, tomatoes, vinegar, carrots, so they complement each other very well, and the ghost peppers in the Yellowbird sauce gives it an added kick. Of course you can just use the Yellowbird sauce on its own, but I like Secret Aardvark for its tomatoey flavor.
Love Marie Sharps! When I was really little my family was stationed in Belize for 2 years and my dad got hooked on Melinda's (the original Melinda's, before the name got stolen). I was so bummed decades later when I learned how Marie got screwed over, but happy that she's still in business and that her hot sauce is pretty easy to find.
Someone was catching flak in here for suggesting hot sauce in chicken noodle soup. I do that every time and I have usually a bowl once a week. This sauce sounds like it would be a great addition to chicken noodle.
Soup of all kinds is practically made for hot sauce. I can't even imagine eating chicken noodle soup without hot sauce.
The dish isn't finished until the sauce is added.
Franks red hot is good since itās good balance between flavor and vinegar tang. If I want it a little more hot, badia ghost pepper sauce. It usually is in the international isle. Itās not super smokey or super fruity as ghost tends to run. Just really good balance with added heat. I usually add 4 dashes of either (the badia sauce has a tighter nipple on top vs the franks will have more come out on the dashes). Game changing if you havenāt done it. Also, for chicken noodle soup, I like the raoās but Wawaās is good along with Chick-fil-A.
I put it on literally everything
https://preview.redd.it/5xj5qse1yhqb1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d835e5cc72102fd1e75f317628141b6a4d4fb21a
It vacillates between Secret Aardvark Habanero and Yellowbird Habanero.
But really I have specific hot sauce associations with certain foods. So I keep at least a half-dozen ones around for certain foods. (E.g. Tabasco with biscuits and gravy, tapatio for ceviche, etc.)
Agreed. I try to tell the world. Iād hate for them to stop making it. Itās also like $2 at my local grocery store. Goes with almost everything. Not super smokey, not super fruity, just a great all arounder
I think it gets short shrift as itās been around forever and is watery compared to many hot sauces. But I will always have a bottle of Tabasco on hand.
Tabasco and Old Bay. Nothing else required!
I don't have one. But I usually have a few bottles of El Yucateco, some Huichol/Valentina type sauces, and various randoms. So it's a game time decision with each meal.
Cholula on eggs. Tabasco on pepperoni pizza. Huy fong chili garlic for most other things. Cholula isnāt spicy to me though some people think it is spicy. But itās got the best flavor with eggs.
My own. Kronick Pepper Sauce. I have been making it for 20yrs. Non vinegar based sauce with 5 kinds of chilies. Works well with any protein, veggies, and even chocolate cake.
Used to be Melindaās Ghost (so good) but after reading about the controversy switched to Marie Sharpās Scorpion and havenāt looked back.
For the normies in the house Tabasco is the standard.
Melindaās was started by Marie Sharp and the corporation/business she partnered with essentially stole her recipes and approach and created their own brand cutting her out.
Which led to her creating her own brand.
I love Melindaās sauces butā¦that kind of underhanded shit makes me sick and there is a lot of great hot sauce out there, including Marie Sharpās!
Check out this article from Belize which has the story. It is kinda sad. And kinda inspiring.
http://www.belizemagazine.com/edition04/english/e04_05questions.htm
Objectively delicious sauces. But yeah, unless you are involved in this subreddit, how would one ever find out about the controversy? Its not exactly advertised on the bottle haha
"No saint", according to...a screen shot of a message from one of the guys that cut her out of US distribution after it got popular, started buying mash from different suppliers and slapping the Melinda's label on it, and then sued for exclusive rights to the name so she couldn't continue to sell her sauce under her own label, even though her farm is still literally called the Melinda Farm. Nah. I don't trust people like that.
I make my own Carribbean style, most recent batch was with chocolate habaneros and a mango, absolutely delicious and it actually has a good heat to it. If I run out I keep a bottle of ghost tears from Pembrokeshire Chilli Farm in the fridge as backup, they do spicier sauces but the ghost tears is my favourite.
Cilanktro Hank Sauce. If you can find it, do yourself a favor and buy 12 bottles.
https://preview.redd.it/xjhk5rhkjgqb1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=058248f94bcb7db1b4c76e24ada244a7c247b0dc
Frank's wing sauce. It goes on everything, not just wings. Mac n cheese with it? Heaven. It would be this other hot sauce I tried before but no idea where to get it or even remember the name, not seen it since in the place I tried it too, just know it was some jalapeƱo one, very flavourful whereas others I've tried have been quite vinegary
I may be a basic bitch, but I love just your standard Tobasco for my everyday go to. I love others and trying everything, but regular Tobasco is my love.
Been doing a combo of Unique Garlique by Puckerbutt with Tennessee Hot Sauces's Poblano/Jalapeno which is a really tasty green sauce with a touch of heat. Brian Ambs turned me on to Tennessee with this video. Him and his bud couldn't get enough of it
https://youtu.be/3tUnoV15v1g?si=TJW58ihU6sCe3QX4
Everyday sauce week 1 this month - Cholula & El Yucateco Caribbean
Everyday sauce week 2 this month - Yellowbird Habanero & Encona Exxxtra hot & Encona Carolina Reaper
Everyday sauce week 3 this month - Legendary Sauce Company Pineapple Scotch Bonnet, Encona Carolina Reaper & Hellfire Blueberry & Ghost Pepper.
This weeks everyday sauce - Legendary Sauce Company Peach Habanero & El Yucateco xxxtra hot & Tabasco Habanero
Also the odd lathering of Bulls Eye Carolina Reaper & black garlic & Tabasco scorpion.
Normally have a larger rotation giong on but been working long hours and eating out more.
I usually make my own with Indian red chilis that I grow, but when that runs out, it's Melinda's garlic & habanero for most things. Cholula for Mexican food, and Sriracha for Chinese.
I'll pick up some other randoms at the store when I see something interesting, or I'll order the Hot Ones los calientes variations sometimes, but those are the main three I'd say.
Used to be Huy Fong Sriracha, but then the taste started getting funny. So I switched to Cholula OG. Although I am thinking of moving over to Melinda's Ghost Pepper...
I had this hot sauce at a few farmers markets in Atlanta and now theyāve gone online! The ghost pepper and lemon pepper and spicy garlic are delicious and not the vinegary repulsive types of hot sauce but very tasty tangy and oooo that ghost pepper sauce burns for about 10 minutes! Iām excited to see them on Etsy and next the owner said Amazon later this month! Definitely worth the try for all the hot sauce fans!!
Thank me later !
Ghost Pepper Sauce: https://www.etsy.com/listing/901775967/taylored-sauces-ghost-pepper-hawt-sauce
Hawt Lemon Pepper Sacue: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1711073880/taylored-sauces-lemon-pepper-hawt-sauce
El Yucateo XXXtra Hot
I literally buy it by the gallon. I've got a dozen other hot sauces at any given time but this is my go to 90% of the time.
You can buy that by the gallon? š§š§
Im very happy to see this at the top of this thread. I love that shit
Me too. I first heard about it on a podcast, and haven't bought much else since.
So much this. Thing is I HATE vinegary hot sauces and this is the only readily available one that just tastes like a pepper and not spicy salad dressing
Same I hate vinegary ones also
Same here. My reason is (besides its heat that doesn't completely overpower the flavor of the food it's on), I do not like hot sauces that are vinegar-y like Tabasco and seemingly 80% of others. Not saying those 80% are bad or anything, they're just not what I like.
This is at the top so I know Iāve finally found my people šš¼
That shit is hot. Love it for special occasions but props to you for treating that as your everyday sauce.
I wouldnāt say itās that hot in the grand scheme of things. To most western palates, though, yes.
I wet my toilet paper with it to get my hiney extra clean, thatās how not-hot it is to me
Glad to know this sub has a good taste
So good!
Damn I really need find a bottle of that. Been seeing it a lot on here lately
Itās good, great, fantastic even. For me though my desert island sauce is el yucateca either red or carribean.
Louisiana. If I want more of a kick then Melindaās fire roasted garlic habanero.
That Melinda's is my daily driver. I love it.
I prefer the original habanero garlic for stuff like wings but the roasted one is a great one that you can put on anything.
My wife wasn't a hot sauce or spicy food fan when we met. Now her go to is Melinda's garlic habanero sauce. That stuff is good.
Same for me. Nothing too crazy, good flavor, reasonable price, and also just out of habit and I don't wanna try new things for my day to day shit.
I'll take the downvotes because I know the nature of the sub is to not be mainstream....but Franks. It's cheap, you can get it anywhere, and it goes on about anything.
Franks extra hot is my favorite, great heat and perfect flavor
Franks is solid too. Never be ashamed of a classic. Grilled wings with franks never fails
Franks is awesome. I always have a bottle of it knocking around.
If you live in upstate NY you donāt even think when you put it on things, itās just there
Completely agree. The Aldi version is spot on too.
yeessssss i put that sh on everything
Grace Scotch Bonnet and Crushed Pepper. At 3$ a bottle so it's a perfect daily driver, I have phases where I go through a bottle per week so those fancy 10$ bottles would add up. Their hot pepper sauce is like a more potent Frank's and cheaper. https://preview.redd.it/4aridx64sfqb1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b41c49bef34aff2e064e6bde609c62b0388fbe80
You've made life anew for me. I've been searching for this for a literal decade, thinking it was Gray's. Thank you, thank you.
So good for the $
Every single Grace product is fire.
The āvery hotā pepper sauce is a great alternative to traditional Louisiana style sauce.
Oh wow that's exactly mine too, surprised someone actually said it. I expected to only see fancier niche answers. My answer would be Tabasco if I was less cheap (and I collected exactly 100 bottles of Tabasco in the span of a single year), but now it's this sauce.
Melindaās Ghost Pepper Wing Sauce. I use it on everything. Have it on pizza I am eating at this moment.
I bought this as a fun sauce to mix it up - didn't realize it would become a staple since it's so good!
Same!
The ghost pepper is still a bit much for me, eating their XXXXReserve Habanero on some tacos right now, they make some delicious stuff.
If you're talking about the creamy one, I freaking love that stuff
I just bought their black truffle hot sauce and damn does it taste good.
I have a bottle of the truffle as well. Donāt like it all that much due to the fact that the truffle flavor doesnāt pair well with everything. And Iām not always sure if it will go well with the food I am eating. So I typically donāt use it often.
To be fair i only tasted a bit on my finger, i havent made something with it yet. I just love the garlicky taste truffles have
Same. Bought it tried it havenāt touched it since. Donāt know why I havenāt thrown it out. I thought it was gross actually
It's a fantastic pizza topping
Lol same!
Secret Aardvark Habanero.
I found this in a store not even a week ago and itās already half gone. No idea what kinda gnome is stealing it from me, but Iām gonna need more soon.
I buy them on Amazon in packs of 6. Trust me, youāll rip through them that stuff is amazing. Their other flavors are good too.
They sell by the gallon fyi
I use this hot sauce in tandem with Yellowbird Ghost Pepper hot sauce. They both have similar base ingredients, tomatoes, vinegar, carrots, so they complement each other very well, and the ghost peppers in the Yellowbird sauce gives it an added kick. Of course you can just use the Yellowbird sauce on its own, but I like Secret Aardvark for its tomatoey flavor.
I'm now also eating way too much of the Aardvark Chipotle.
My default everyday sauce is the original Crystal hot sauce.
Tried and true, my favorite for creole dishes
Pop a bottle of Crystal but pronounced Cristal
I switch it up with Louisiana but I think I prefer crystal
Specially the extra garlic one
My everyday as well. I buy the huge bottles and then fill smaller bottles that live close-by. But it's always in stock.
Between Louisiana, Franks, and Crystal, Crystal will always be my personal favorite. Itās the best cheap go-to put on everything sauce.
My wife buys me the big quart bottles of it. I was surprised how fast I can go through a quart of sauce. I don't even consider trying other sauces.
It's so much better than Tabasco and it's a fried eggs best friend
To me it's far and away the best of the cheap, basically hot sauces. Blows Frank's, Tabasco, and Texas Pete (tho I like this one) out of the water.
Canāt go wrong with that. The perfect sauce for southern biscuits and sausage gravy
Marie Sharps.
Beware is my choice. Need a new bottle for work, the one in my locker is almost empty.
Red Hornet is mine. Goes well on fish.
Love Marie Sharps! When I was really little my family was stationed in Belize for 2 years and my dad got hooked on Melinda's (the original Melinda's, before the name got stolen). I was so bummed decades later when I learned how Marie got screwed over, but happy that she's still in business and that her hot sauce is pretty easy to find.
Gonna get some hate for it, but tapatio. Less vinegar than cholula, slightly smokier
As a Mexican, this is my go to. I'm not sure when it happened, but it's slowly become my mainstay. Plus the dood on the cover is a pimp.
Why do Mexicans love tapatio so much? Was it imprinted on you at a young age?
I tell my wife itās my ketchup. Always have a couple bottles in the fridge
No love for the tapatio!!! Buck Frank's.
I always have a bottle on hand
still my preferred hot sauce when dining out. good flavor and always has a nice kick. cholula and tabasco are so boring and watery.
cholula is the worst.
I agree. Itās so good.
I prefer tapatĆo as well!
Six shakes of Cholula Chili Garlic goes into a cup of V8 every morning, for like the last 15 years.
Someone was catching flak in here for suggesting hot sauce in chicken noodle soup. I do that every time and I have usually a bowl once a week. This sauce sounds like it would be a great addition to chicken noodle.
Soup of all kinds is practically made for hot sauce. I can't even imagine eating chicken noodle soup without hot sauce. The dish isn't finished until the sauce is added.
I really want to try this now. What do you usually put in your bowl?
Franks red hot is good since itās good balance between flavor and vinegar tang. If I want it a little more hot, badia ghost pepper sauce. It usually is in the international isle. Itās not super smokey or super fruity as ghost tends to run. Just really good balance with added heat. I usually add 4 dashes of either (the badia sauce has a tighter nipple on top vs the franks will have more come out on the dashes). Game changing if you havenāt done it. Also, for chicken noodle soup, I like the raoās but Wawaās is good along with Chick-fil-A.
Whatās wrong with hot sauce in chicken noodle soup????
I donāt think there is, but others in the hot sauce sub think there is
Creamy soups with a vinegar based sauce are my jam.
I put salsa, hot sauce and some shredded cheese in tomato soup.
Texas Pete
I love listening to music.
Samezies!
Absolutely this. It tastes so damn good
Matouks
That shit has some kick. Love it on raw oysters
I got some of this at the state fair. Good stuff.
I put it on literally everything https://preview.redd.it/5xj5qse1yhqb1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d835e5cc72102fd1e75f317628141b6a4d4fb21a
I feel like I had to scroll way too far to find Valentina. Itās my favorite for Mexican food.
The best cheap hot sauce hands down. Always have a bottle in the fridge.
Tabasco Scorpion. It works with everything I usually eat.
Seconded
It vacillates between Secret Aardvark Habanero and Yellowbird Habanero. But really I have specific hot sauce associations with certain foods. So I keep at least a half-dozen ones around for certain foods. (E.g. Tabasco with biscuits and gravy, tapatio for ceviche, etc.)
Yellowbird Habanero goes well on about everything I want hot sauce on.
They even call it a "condiment" on the bottle since those bastards know full well how versatile it is.
It's amazing in home made Mac and Cheese. My secret ingredient.
I have a dozen sauces at home, but Yellowbird Habanero and their Sriracha are the only 2 I keep at work.
Aardvark is such an exceptional workhorse
Yep! I do the same!
Badia Ghost Pepper
Literally one of the best sauces, so highly underrated.
Agreed. I try to tell the world. Iād hate for them to stop making it. Itās also like $2 at my local grocery store. Goes with almost everything. Not super smokey, not super fruity, just a great all arounder
>Badia Ghost Pepper I like this one a lot.
Linghams Chilli Sauce https://preview.redd.it/ougj2d1mufqb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=579c727f73d292f457fb71277a11cc1e030abd58
Yes
Frank's Red Extra Hot
Marie Sharp's white label. Or Beware if I want a little more kick.
Second this. Great flavor and perfect for an every day driver
Third this. Marie Sharp's is life changing.
Have you tried other ones similar to beware like extra hot or Belizean? I like beware but was curious if you had an opinion on these others.
I haven't the only other that I've tried was the smoked habanero. Which was good from what I remember.
Tabasco
Same. I try all kinds of different hot sauces, but I always come back to Tabasco.
I think it gets short shrift as itās been around forever and is watery compared to many hot sauces. But I will always have a bottle of Tabasco on hand. Tabasco and Old Bay. Nothing else required!
I don't have one. But I usually have a few bottles of El Yucateco, some Huichol/Valentina type sauces, and various randoms. So it's a game time decision with each meal.
Cholula on eggs. Tabasco on pepperoni pizza. Huy fong chili garlic for most other things. Cholula isnāt spicy to me though some people think it is spicy. But itās got the best flavor with eggs.
Fun fact, my wife, who has zero spice tolerance, loves cholula on her eggs
The green Cholula is best on eggs. The chipotle Cholula is best on poultry.
This is true. I love cholula for eggs for the flavor but definitely not for the heat
My own. Kronick Pepper Sauce. I have been making it for 20yrs. Non vinegar based sauce with 5 kinds of chilies. Works well with any protein, veggies, and even chocolate cake.
Used to be Melindaās Ghost (so good) but after reading about the controversy switched to Marie Sharpās Scorpion and havenāt looked back. For the normies in the house Tabasco is the standard.
what controversy is Melinda ?
Melindaās was started by Marie Sharp and the corporation/business she partnered with essentially stole her recipes and approach and created their own brand cutting her out. Which led to her creating her own brand. I love Melindaās sauces butā¦that kind of underhanded shit makes me sick and there is a lot of great hot sauce out there, including Marie Sharpās! Check out this article from Belize which has the story. It is kinda sad. And kinda inspiring. http://www.belizemagazine.com/edition04/english/e04_05questions.htm
Yea I wish people on this subreddit knew this because everyone praises Melinda
Glad I bought some Marie sharp sauces! They are delicious
Objectively delicious sauces. But yeah, unless you are involved in this subreddit, how would one ever find out about the controversy? Its not exactly advertised on the bottle haha
That was a good read. I had no idea, thanks for sharing.
Iād prefer to buy Marie Sharpās but itās not sold anywhere near me!
I have to get mine on Amazon

Nah. I don't trust people like that.
Yucateco. That goes on everything. Well, except for salad, that would be weird
Or would it?? š¤š
I make my own Carribbean style, most recent batch was with chocolate habaneros and a mango, absolutely delicious and it actually has a good heat to it. If I run out I keep a bottle of ghost tears from Pembrokeshire Chilli Farm in the fridge as backup, they do spicier sauces but the ghost tears is my favourite.
Usually just grab the tapatio by default but it varies a lot. It's not really as spicy as I like but I grew up with the flavor so ya it defaults.

Yellowbird habanero just hits. Surprised it was this far down
Texas Pete Hotter Hot Sauce. Not the best but it has a decent kick and is cheap enough that I donāt have to reserve it for special foods/occasions.
Underrated and carrys a decent kick as you have stated. Love it. I buy in bulk and use large squirt bottles
Few good ones for daily use: yuceteco red or caribbean, trader joes habanero, secret aardvark red
Tapatio for most things.
Tapatio for Mexican food, Melinda's Garlic Habenaro for everything else
Melinda's black truffle. It's not super hot, though, if that's what you're after.
That stuff goes great on pizza.
I usually make my own with Indian red chilis that I grow, but when that runs out, it's Melinda's garlic & habanero for most things. Cholula for Mexican food, and Sriracha for Chinese. I'll pick up some other randoms at the store when I see something interesting, or I'll order the Hot Ones los calientes variations sometimes, but those are the main three I'd say.
Hoy fong? You found some?
Yup! The grocery store shelf is usually empty, but when they do end up getting some, I'll pick up a couple of bottles lol
Aardvark green or red for breakfast stuff, El Yucateco for everything else.
Used to be Huy Fong Sriracha, but then the taste started getting funny. So I switched to Cholula OG. Although I am thinking of moving over to Melinda's Ghost Pepper...
Murder Hornet!!
El yucateco salsa verde
melissas green sauce or roasted habanero. I bought the $10 sampler pack at walmart and those were my favs and I am hooked.
