Food Quest Update: Hot Sauce

So I am still looking for a fish taco under 10 dollars, and the perfect burger. But so far I have narrowed down the hot sauce best to these few brands. Hot sauce has always been important at making bad food good and good food better. A good hot sauce will spice up a bland dish but wont set your face on fire and numb your taste buds so that the bottle of tequila your drinking doesn't make you puke so you can get really drunk and maybe get lucky. But back to hot sauce. So these three are my far-out favorites and should definitely be tried. Honorable mentions go to Tapatio and Cholula
but neither hold a flame to these amazing torch holders of hot saucy-ness. From the far east and probably invented by Thai stick fighters who would put it on their hands along with glue and broken glass (we all saw that movie) is the amazing raging hen; Sriracha sauce. It is both hot and flavorful. can be used on any dish from burgers to spaghetti. It works on Mexican food as well as on Chinese. The next sauce was probably invented in a laboratory and boasts some serious chipotle power.
Tabasco brand chipotle hot sauce is one of the most flavorful and yet still pretty hot sauces around. Its like crack, I constantly re-apply to my favorite dishes but it really only complements Mexican food well. The final sauce is a bit elusive. I can only get it from my St. Johns connection in the caribbean. Its super hot and super delicious. All natural and probably going to burn a whole in your stomach good. Both the yellow and red are good and the bottle is decorated with a sombrero for your pet mouse. Its called Caribbee and its hard to find goodness in every bottle.
