What are your go to sauces? Lately I've really liked the Chipotle cholula..little smoky...spicy but not super hot. I also love cheap old trappeys red devil...grew up eating it with my dad.

Texas Pete!

Frank's is solid as well

Frank's is no 1

Tabasco is good when you want more heat

Cholula has a home in my pantry as well

 

I've tried some jalapeno hot sauces that are really good but haven't found a brand that I can consistently get in stores. While we are on the topic, if anyone has a recommendation for a jalapeno sauce, I'd love to hear it.

    Tapatio. Great on chicken, seafood and pulled pork. Now you got me hungry again!   ?   jj

There is a yellow sriracha that I pick up in Bangkok.  I put it on practically everything.

Best there is ?

Sriracha and Cholula are great sometimes, but I'm with @roadwarrior, there's nothing like Tabasco.  I have a 12 oz. bottle in the fridge now.

A la Brava (local company here in NC)

The only other one I use ?

Everybody's a Tabasco fan...except me! Its got good heat but very little flavor to me. It doesn't taste bad..but it doesn't taste really like anything.

My favorite is probably Louisiana Hot Sauce, decent heat and good flavor. I also like Cholula, Sriracha and Tapatio. While not really a traditional hot sauce, some of the Blue Top flavors are pretty good too.

Sambal oelek, moderately hot, pure, naturally sweet and flavorful. So delicious, I can almost eat it plain. From Indonesia.

Texas pete hotter hot sauce.

Tabasco.

Both have their places.

I can't believe it!  It does seem like it's either the favorite or people are not too keen on it.  I put it on practically everything from eggs to collards.

Yep I have buddies that love it. Like I said above it never tasted like anything to me so I don't get it.

Back when I was going through chemo one of my bosses who puts hot sauce on everything game me a bottle of Dave’s Insanity sauce and said “take some of this and it’ll knock that cancer right out of you”. He said this jokingly of course, but my stepmom put a teaspoon of it in a 3 gallon pot of chili and had to dump most of the tomato juice out and  start over because it was too dam hot! 
 

The label jokingly said great for removing oil spots on your driveway. I wouldn’t be surprised if it actually did!

Ya ain't suppose to drink out the bottle ?

 

It's meant to add flavor to what you're eating not over power it.

 

You don't eat Tabasco peppers, Cayenne peppers, or Jalapeno peppers cause they taste good you eat for the heat.

 

It's like adding salt-n-pepper, you don't want taste the salt-n-pepper!

I agree that you want some heat but think you should get some flavor out of it. With Tabasco all I get is heat.  I'm looking for heat and some flavor.

Taste the dish with out Tabasco & then taste it with Tabasco, if you can't tell different it's your taste buds.

I've mostly used Tabasco sauce over the years. I'm.also fond of Zatarains Cajun hot sauce. A few shots on some crappie fillets. is really good.

That's funny. That's like telling somebody I like garlic and if you don't your wrong and your mouth is broken. Some people like cilantro and some people think it tastes like soap...neither is wrong.

I've tried scrambled eggs and then tried it with Tabasco. I can feel the heat but get very little flavor difference. If I was looking for heat then Tabasco is perfect. I want heat and extra flavor...I don't get it with Tabasco. If you like it that's cool...its the most famous hot sauce ever for a reason...just doesn't do it for me.
