Stolen from here: Favorites hot sauces by State (on instacart) https://www.huffpost.com/entry/hot-sauce-by-state_l_65a99626e4b041f1ce6553d1
Also which state buys the most hot sauce
lmao at all the states around Louisiana using “Louisiana Hot Sauce”, but Louisiana uses Tabasco.
Tabasco is made on an island in Louisiana that I think is called a “salt dome” or something like that. It’s Louisiana af
Tabasco is ass it tastes like somebody added water and red food coloring to a pepper shaker.
Not even like a fresh pepper grinder like the beige pepper shaker that’s next to the Grey salt shaker in diners.
Its bc they give the bad Tabascos for white boys as a punishment
Texas uses Louisiana Hot Sauce, and not Texas Pete, which is only used on the east coast.
It was created, and is manufactured in, North Carolina - they just named it Texas Pete. Someone recently tried to sue for “misleading consumers,” but the lawsuit was recently dismissed..
You have to keep in mind that this is the most purchased via Instacart. I don’t know a single person who does this (gets their groceries regularly delivered).
lol I know a tech bro type who does. He’s agressively white and never eats hot sauce anyway I’m assuming he’s “Heinz” on the map and that just means ketchup
Heinz makes a hot sauce that I’ve seen at a few taco trucks. They’re only sold in packets and sold wholesale
South Dakota…jeez
Hey should be disqualified for that. Wins most
state in the union.
El Yucateco XXXtra Hot baybee
the objectively correct answer
I buy it by the quart. IDK why they even come in tiny bottles.
Same. Tiny bottle wouldn’t last 3 days.
It’s so damn good. Elevates a breakfast burrito.
I knew I was among good people here.
The goated hot sauce
It’s good shit, though I do like the black label stuff too sometimes
El Yucateco is the best.
Tobasco is pretty GOAT. They make it in the mansion from Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island. Moon-worshipping cat people must know a thing or two about about peppers.
TIL I am a Moon-worshipping cat person
what is going on in this comment
Tobasco is made with peppers that were originally only grown on Avery Island in Louisiana, an island in the bayou that is very similar to that of the villains (who happen worship a magical cat goddess of the moon) from Scooby-Doi on Zombie Island that is also famous for its hot peppers.
Chances are there are a couple small local hot sauce companies wherever you live and those will always be the best

My favorite is local to the PNW, brand is called “2 angry cats”, preferred flavor is “hero sauce”, specifically. it’s stupid hot, but has good flavor. Just checked the website, and they’re winding down operations
For Mexican hot sauces, Cholula ($$) or Valentina ($).
For Asian hot sauces, normal Sriracha or garlic chili oil or whole dried Thai chilis.
For American, Frank’s or Louisiana or even green Tabasco
I like hot sauce
Their chipotle sauce is out of stock
I had no idea they were shutting down, I’ll have to see if the place near me has some in stock still
Cutiee Buys is where I used to get it, Food Fight (111 & Halsey) might still have it.

Cholula gang rise up
Mainly the good name brand sriracha sauce is the stuff you should be using everywhere. I’m still choking down a bottle of Ox Brand sriracha sauce that I bought because I couldn’t find any of the good stuff and it’s awful, it’s like pepper ketchup.
Surprised Sriracha wasn’t the top sauce in any state.
This isn’t top sauce. It’s the sauce that is most popular in the state relative to its popularity in other states.
Iowa?
Oh snap I missed that
I saw a different map on here a couple days ago and it was Iowa’s selection.
Wait, it IS Iowa in this map too
I’m a close friend of Soothsayer Hot Sauce and help cook sometimes. I’ll plug my homie.

I honestly haven’t looked at the stock in a while, but the pizza sauce, Chili Lips, and Perdition are great.

Rocky Mountains remain the only sensible states
From California. Tapatio is definitely my default hot sauce, cheap and tasty on everything. My favorite taco place has an incredible habanero sauce that I can’t get enough of. The only bottled habanero sauce I liked was by Mezzetta, but my grocery store discontinued it. All of the other bottled stuff I’ve tried has a overwhelming vinegar flavor. Any habanero sauce suggestions? I’m not that afraid of heat, but I’m not fucking with like ghost pepper sauce. Just something that might make me sweat a bit.
Have to recommend El Yucateco XXXtra Hot if you haven’t tried it. It’s a habanero sauce, and it earns every one of those three Xs. Brings the heat and flavor. I wouldn’t say it’s vinegary.
I’ll give it a go. Thanks, comrade
