We have a local hole in the wall hot dog place that makes its own hot sauce that kinda looks like hot dog chili sauce.
The place is Pulliams Hot Dogs in Winston Salem, NC and the stuff is Big Eds Hot sauce. Awesome stuff!
My favorite generic grocery store stuff is Texas Pete .... it's made here in Winston Salem.

Whoa, seriously about Texas Pete?
I've bought that before and see it all the time. I just assumed it was from Texas.
But nope, it's Texas Pete from North Carolina. :D

Not a fan of the vinegary stuff like Tabasco & Texas Pete.
I opened this thread yesterday & today I'm getting ads for Tiger Sauce on FB, I blocked their page when I read "moderately spicy", I don't need moderation in my life!

Been making my own sauces lately with sambal, it's just ground up chilies.
If I want to dip chicken in it, add some sugar
pork - add soy-sauce

I read the labels on chili sauces in the supermarket & then just do the same at home.
The Thai chili sauce at Kroger was basically just sambal with high-fructose corn-syrup.

Last time I was in El Paso the Mexican food restaurant I ate at had a condiments cart filled with several different types of peppers marinating in soy sauce. Best thing in the restaurant. Up until then I didn’t know it was a thing.

A few years ago a group of us from church used like to frequent Mexican restaurants on Sunday nights after church.
We would of course eat some REALLY hot stuff.
One place we ate at a lot, we got to know the staff pretty well, and they would sometimes hook us up with the heat.
They had some stuff that I would assume was homemade ..... it would make the devil take a drink of water!
That, I DON"T like ...... but hot sauce with a good taste .... even if it is hot enuff to take the color off a rock ..... that's some good eatin'!

When we were in southern Texas
a couple years ago, almost every Mexican food joint we went to did this too. The friends we went with were surprised to know it's not a thing where we live.
Earlier this year a new Mexican food joint opened in town and they feature this salsa bar. I asked the owner where they are from, he said Texas.

I'm wondering if the carts and that style of Mexican restaurant is regional. Seems like the selection of food was quite different from the NoCAL style I grew up with.

Has anyone tried this sauce? I'm intrigued.

Not exactly a hot sauce, but does anyone know the actual name of the little sliced up green peppers in juice (brine?) that you get from thai restaurants? You know the spice rack you can ask for that usually has like dried red flakes, a paste of some sort, and then the green peppers? I'm assuming they're just pickled thai chilis but there's got to be a specific name for them.

They go by bird's eye or Thai Chili at the Asian market where I buy mine.

Habanero can really make you work up a sweat. I had a a combo dish accented to Habanero's one time and there wasn't enough beer in the restaurant to cool down.

Beer is an accelerant like water and soda.
Edit: maybe you know all of this below, so my apologies for being repetitious. Someone else may benefit from it, so I'll leave it here.
Milk, bread, cheese, corn tortilla chips are some things that will help cool your mouth down. What you want to do when it gets too spicy hot for you is work on getting the heat out of your mouth. Your mouth will start producing more saliva when it's exposed to overly spicy hot foods, so keep spitting that out. Don't swallow it or try to wash it down. When it gets too spicy hot for me, I gather large amounts of saliva and start spitting out as quick as I can along with a couple pieces of bread or tortilla chip to help absorb the heat.
I can usually get it all dissipated within a minute with that process.

I tried Horchata as well but was still hurting.
