I’m here in Oklahoma City so I may be limited on brands, but what are some of your favorite brands being down there in the heart of amazing cuisine?

I’ve enjoyed Tabasco: Green Pepper, Regular, Chipotle; Louisiana, Crystal, Cholula varieties, Sriracha....

What are you looking for, flavor wise and heat wise?

I have all kinds for different purposes. If multiple are listed, they're in the order of my preference

General everyday: crystal then Louisiana
Mexican food: El yucateco then tapatio then Cholula. For Chipotle sauce, Melinda's Chipotle or Tabasco Chipotle.
Asian: Sriracha
General heat: mango Carolina reaper sauce from a local vendor or ghost pepper sauce from another local vendor.

I also have some weird ones like the ghost pepper blueberry from bravado, but I haven't used it in or on anything yet. Not sure where I can use the flavor other than just tasting it by itself.

I using commercial stuff in restaurants, I prefer Crystal over Tabasco.

At home, I make my own out of habanero, ghost and Trinidad Scorpion Butch T peppers. Nice heat range and great taste with the recipe I use, but definitely not for the feint of heart.

Louisiana
Crystal
Tabasco- Chipotle
Tabasco- Garlic
Tabasco- Green
Tabasco- Habanerro in selected foods
Tabasco- regular

Probably in this order for me. There are so many hot sauces it’s hard to try new ones since they last so long. But this is my go to unless I am somewhere where there is a new one to try. I am not into exttreme heat but more flavor. Each hot sauce fits different foods.

Crystal

Big on flavor, low on heat

Louisiana is a bit hotter

My current favorites are:

Secret Aardvark Habanero on most food, especially eggs and omelettes.

For Mexican I've been rotating these three:
Valentina's
El yucateco XXXtra Hot
Los Calientes

Cajun food I've been rotating:
Crystal
Louisana
and Thib's Habanero (delicious on raw oysters)

I've been using Kumana Avocado Hot Sauce as Salad Dressing.

I love Tiger Sauce on some things but it's not really a good general sauce. It's great on red beans and chicken and dumplings.

Tabasco until Avery Island sinks into the water.
Garlic is my favorite.
