I love hot sauce, Tapatio and Cholula being my favorites. Both are now owned by private equity, so I thought I'd share this story.

I went to my local farmer's market and met a man that makes his own hot sauce, right here where I live. Not only did he have the most flavorful cayenne sauce I've ever had, but he also had a Scorpion pepper sauce with legitimate flavor as well.

All that to say, check out your local artisans. You may find something you love.
