Bottom Line: The Torchbearer sauces Son of Zombie, Garlic Reaper, and Zombie Apocalypse deliver good taste and plenty of heat but should be used judiciously.
Torchbearer is a craft hot sauce company known for making some very hot and very tasty concoctions, and their products have started to become more readily available throughout the country. I have to admit, though, that I have been remiss in trying their sauces even though I have seen them...
Bottom Line: Melinda's Pepper Sauce Challenge has a nice selection of that company's sauces that offer a good combination of heat and flavor.
It is the time of year when people are buying gifts for friends and family, and as I have said in a previous post, please don't buy those generic hot sauce gift sets if you are getting something for someone who likes spicy foods.

Bottom Line: Trader Joe’s Sriracha and Green Dragon Sauce have a bit of a kick and offer a nice substitute to Huy Fong products while they are in short supply.
If you haven’t already noticed, Sriracha sauce from Huy Fong’s (the one with the green top and rooster on the bottle) is getting harder to find. Due to the ongoing drought and labor shortages, the chili peppers that they use for their sauces are in short supply and the Huy Fong...
Bottom Line: Eli’s Special Habanero Hot Sauce tastes like a Louisiana-style hot sauce with habaneros added and a hint of Mexican spice and it brings some good heat.
When visiting restaurants, it is always nice to see bottles of hot sauce sitting on the table because that means they understand that there are customers that want to add some kick to their food. And when I see a bottle of hot sauce that is not available in the stores, I am always...
