    Definitely the best of its style. I typically don’t like vinegar forward (I know it’s technically pepper forward) sauces but this converted me.

    I don’t know if it’s the best, but it’s always in my fridge

    It’s a great casual hot sauce. I love the salty vinegar taste with a very mild kick. It’s great on eggs, cold pizza and hash browns. The same goes for Tabasco, super versatile.

    you’ve apparently have very limited exposure to hot sauce, my guess is from the shelf of your grocery store. it hasn’t been in the top 10 since the ’80s.

    I am a huge tobasco brand fan but after seeing these comments about crystal I really want to do a side by side with a few spoonfulls. Has anyone done that?

    I enjoy Crystal but I think I may like Louisiana slightly more because the pepper to vinegar ratio is slightly higher and less acidic

    This is amazing on collard greens

    It is a perfect all use hot sauce and honestly its hard to beat the price point for how versitile it is

    My dad doesn’t usually like anything spicy, but this was the House Sauce when I was a kid.

    I love Louisiana Crystal in so many in dishes to add the slightest heat that doesn’t overwhelm my guest. But as a hot sauce that has heat it basically doesn’t. Yet as far as a present in adding some cayenne without over powering the dish but balance it out is why I love it.

    A must for red beans and rice etc

    I love it on seafood and fried foods.

    I always hated hot sauces, because, like Tabasco, they are so vinegar based. This was the first hot sauce that I like. I wish I could find a non vinegar hot sauce. I always end up making my own spicy salsas or adding habenero or Chipotle peppers to my dishes.

    The extra hot Texas pete I think is the best vinegar style hot sauce. The best overall is El yucateco tho, it’s tasty, spicy, and cheap!

    It’s the best for me on fried chicken and plain fried chicken wings.

    I like to rinse my mouth out with this every couple of nights. Works wonders.

    Louisiana hot sauce is exponentially better

  27. superchiva78

    Nothing is better on a slice of pizza. Especially a NY style slice. 🍕

    My favorite hot sauce to sip on, my wife didn’t know it basically pours out when she went to try it one day…

    Not the best, but arguably the most versatile

    And we shall fight back-to-back, brothers in arms, in the holy name of Crystal.

  32. Shitwinds_randy

    Hell yeah, the absolute goat. Then green tobasco in second.

  34. PugLuVR06

    I make a chicken pot pie soup & this is my go to hot sauce for this soup!

  35. Bcatfan08

    I don’t know if it’s the best, but it’s damn good. Best hot sauce for fried chicken or chicken in general.

    Easily the most balanced daily use hot sauce. I use it for most things and have specific hot sauce for specific food types… Thai for example needs a special kick and flavor
