I've been on a spice kick lately, though the hottest raw pepper I can take a chomp of is a serrano. Hot sauces are a really calorie-cheap way of making dishes taste more interesting, gotta watch out for the sodium though.

I'm really liking Tapatio-brand. It's not vinegar-based like Tabasco or Frank's, so it's got this fuller, more peppery flavor that's just what I've been looking for.

    I love sriracha sauce. It's more of a paste than a sauce, and has a fuller flavor compared to Tabasco. I do like the chipotle flavored Tabasco sauce, though.

    Cholula, it's not very hot but it makes everything taste better.

    For me, Sriracha all the way. I also really like the chili garlic sauce Huy Fong Foods makes (same brand as Sriracha) and I love Valentina on Mexican food.

    I love them all Sriracha, Franks, Tobasco Red and green. Also great are hot mustards and wasabi.

    Right now I have a Thai Kitchen brand of sriracha and Cholula hot sauce in the original version on hand. I pretty much always have some form of hot sauce in the kitchen at all times. I love sriracha on my sweet potatoes.

    I love Franks, and Crystal because I LOVE vinegar, but Sriracha and sambal are also delicious.

    I'm a total hot sauce nut, got a whole slew of them.

    Classic Cholula is mild, but has great taste. I like the Chipotle flavored one too.
    I use the Thai Kitchen Sriracha style sauce for a lot of things, on burgers, eggs, dim sum...
    Then there are the really hot ones most people I know can't handle :
    I love 'Endorphin Rush' which has a nice zing to it, with a great taste. Not a fan of the too sour ones, personally.
    Dave's Insanity collection I use to spice up my salad sauce (yeah, weird I know).
    The hottest ones I own are Mad Dog's '357' (with a bullet on a key chain around the bottle neck) and Da Bomb's 'Beyond Insanity', where 1 or 2 drops suffice to turn a whole pot of chili super spicy!

    I vote Sri Racha AKA Rooster Sauce. If it comes in a glue bottle, it must be good.

    Franks, the Green Tobasco, the cheapo stuff at Aldi that's identical to Louisiana.

    Dave's Insanity sauce is great for chili.

    sriracha if on stuff like eggs, etc. Sambal if I'm mixing it into something like a sauce or dip.
