July 31, 20187 yr After 25 years or so, it just doesn't do it for me anymore. Never thought I'd see the day.
July 31, 20187 yr If you want to try something similar, yellowbird makes a blue agave sriracha (and a few other great hot sauces). It may be just different enough to rekindle your interest.
July 31, 20187 yr This is why you gotta switch up the hot sauces. I've got 3-4 I use, depending on what food it's going on.

Going too gung-ho on any one will leave you burned out on it. Shit, eat BBQ for every meal, you'll get sick of it.
July 31, 20187 yr I am just not a fan of it. I don't know why really, I just prefer other hot sauces. I will put a tiny bit in pho but that is it. Much prefer the red chile paste
July 31, 20187 yr What will be the next ethnic sauce of white people's fancy? Gochujang? Spicy Chili Crisp? Sambal Oelek?
July 31, 20187 yr I mix Sriracha 50/50 with soy sauce. Allsome. I use this as a binder to make sure the crushed butterfinger stays on the brisket.

Pick any food that I love -- BBQ, steak, fried yardbird, tacos de lengua, CFS, cheese enchiladas -- make me eat just that for a week, and I'll want to get out of the rut. Hot sauces are the same. They're situational, and variety is your friend. Kinda like how sometimes I bang your mom, and other times I bang your sister. Keeps things interesting.
July 31, 20187 yr I use this as a binder to make sure the crushed butterfinger stays on the brisket. Caramel works well too.

There's SO much BBQ variety - I seriously think I could eat different entrees and sides for a whole month and (despite going super sized) would be happier than a hog in a waller. As a matter of fact, we're almost 30 days out now, brb - going to pitch a idea of an awesome month to the wife...
July 31, 20187 yr I agree, different hot sauces for different things. Hell, even tabasco has its place. Usually in soups for me.
August 1, 20187 yr Try Shark brand sriracha from Thailand. Better than the rooster one from California.

August 1, 20187 yr To me, Sriracha is ideal for Asian food. I call it "instant szechuan." It blends really well with rice or noodles and oyster sauce and the other staples of kind of middle of the road Asian. But I prefer other sauces for other foods. It doesn't work as well for me as more conventional louisiana-type hot sauces for general use, partly because it's thick, and partly because of the addition of garlic and sugar, as noted above.

August 1, 20187 yr Tobasco isn’t even hot. It’s all vinegar, a bit of heat, and no flavor. Its not even that vinegary. It’s just heat, a little tart, and that’s it. I much prefer Crystal.Although Tabasco Chipotle is actually pretty good. And their sweet chili variety is good too.

Although Tabasco Chipotle is actually pretty good. And their sweet chili variety is good too. Crystal, Louisiana, Texas Pete, Cholula are all infinitely better than Tobasco. But yes, their chipotle is actually not bad.
August 1, 20187 yr 17 hours ago, Brisketexan said: Although Tabasco Chipotle is actually pretty good. I second this. I was really caught off guard the first time I tried it. Actually has respectable heat and flavor.
August 1, 20187 yr Tabasco is perfect for bloody marys. I’ve never found a hot sauce I like better. But I don’t care much for Tabasco on food. There are so many better options. This has been recc’ed before - Green Dragon Hot Sauce from Trader Joe’s. Not real hot, but great flavor. Edited August 1, 20187 yr by CurlyDumps
