re: Hot sauces ranked

No Cajun Chef, list is diarrhea.

don't smoke ribs without Tiger Sauce.

Do you have recipe for these smoked ribs?

Louisiana is much better than crystal which is much better than Tabasco.

Tabasco is watery vinegar.

I agree Tiger Saice is underrated.
But my list goes like this:

Crystal (if you want flavor)
Tobasco (for heat)
Louisiana as a fallback
Tiger Sauce for oysters

Franks sucks.

Food board broken?

I like Tabasco when I am cooking, more to add flavor than to add heat. But if you put in enough that you can identify it as Tabasco, you've added too much. If I need heat I go with cayenne pepper.

That said, El Yucateco is the shite. It's a habanero sauce so hot as hell, but smoooooooth, with zero vinegar bite. I never considered it a hipster sauce, because I've always had it at El Rancho in BR, which if you have been there is probably the most hipless place in town. It's just great stuff and you should try it. You can't stand the heat, and you can't stop adding more. It's addictive...

Louisiana at the table. Tiger sauce for cooking.

While I agree Franks sucks on its own, it has its place. It is a key ingredient if you are trying to make Buffalo Wings, for example.

Tabasco is a good ingredient in things that need an acid. Crystal is a better condiment over finished food. Yucateco is awesome and the red will light up your butthole. Put the TP in the freezer!

I've started really liking Ellis Stansels Clearly Cajun for adding after redbeans have been cooked and for jambalaya.
