Hot take: basketball players shouldn't have Hot Sauce as a nickname, unless they don't want to be on the starting lineup.
I don't know about "best". I usually keep a half dozen around for different purposes: buffalo sauce/wings, eggs, Cajun, Latin, East African, Asian. There are different levels of heat/sweetness/fruitiness that work better for each application than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Sriracha has its place, but it's a very limited place.
We need a player named hot sauce. Someone who can cross up their defender followed by throwing the ball into the stands..... Which somehow results in a win for us.Hot take: basketball players shouldn't have Hot Sauce as a nickname, unless they don't want to be on the starting lineup.
Good point guards play a lot and are a major ingredient in the recipe of basketball. In the world of food recipes, if hot sauce were the dominant ingredient you'd end up having...just hot sauce.
Hot Sauce would be a great name for a microwave bench scorer: you put him in for just a little bit to kick up the spice of the game.

Thank you for the Boneyard.
Make my own from garden grown peppers. The play of the heat is so much different. Not sure how to explain it but the way the heat starts and finishes is "cleaner"? More distinct? Almost like the processing of store bought sauces tempers the whole thing? @August_West does that make sense to you?
This brand, Cholula, has a 'Chipotle' style, instead of the 'Original' pictured here. It is so good and flavorful. Highly recommend this, more as an ingredient than as a topping/condiment.
Which hot sauce goes best with crow?
I'm a big fan of the siracha chili garlic sauce as well.I put Siracha on everything
I have a coworker that is a big advocate of the drawer filled with hot sauce packets (either desk or junk drawer)

A little OT, but we've been using dried arbol peppers in a Cooks Illustrated Kung Pao chichen recipe, and it's pretty fantastic. Better then any I've had in restaurants. Pretty damn spicy.@Travelman32 I've been sitting on some dried arbol peppers at home and was planning to make them into a hot sauce. Any recipes or recommendations?
Yup, I love that one too but even as a spice lover it can kick my butt.This. And have you tried their black label one?
I like the 10. 14 is real hot. Let me know what you think. Philburs is family owned and every bottle is bottled by hand.Just ordered their #10 and #14 varieties. Can't wait to try them.
There used to be a CT based company, maybe in Milford but that could be wrong, that made fantastic hot sauce that was aged on oak barrels. Best stuff ever. Too bad they dissapeared.
Like he said, he's a old man. Don't be a wussy, go for it!For those of you doing the twitter/UConn hot sauce thing, here’s my old man moment - I love the idea and the cause, but please be careful. Drinking shots of hot sauce with a super high scoville (spelling?) rating can put you in the hospital.
