Speaking of hot sauce, I've been a champion of Frank's H.S. for years. We had an Atlanta Bread Company here for about 10 years, owned by a good friend of mine. I'm a creature of habit. I like what I like, and I tend to stick with what I'm comfortable with. I say that because for quite a few years, that was my stop on the way to work, at least 4 mornings a week. I would get a breakfast with eggs, grits, sausage etc. But they only had Crystal hot sauce. I started bringing my own bottle of Frank's, and they would keep it behind the counter for me.
Some of the peeps I'd meet there, started trying it, and got hooked. The owner saw the writing on the wall, and started buying huge bottles of the stuff.
I'm not a big hot sauce guy, from the standpoint of making sweat beads pop out on my balding dome, and having to chug half a gallon of something to cool it off. I like a little heat, and a lot of flavor. Even Snagette loves her some Frank's. Actually, Frank is the next door neighbor. She can't help herself.
