The warm spice blend used in this hot sauce somewhat limits its application. Nevertheless, this is a great spicy hot sauce that is sure to set your tongue on fire.

The Hot Sauce Co. Peppers & Pickles Review

Peppers and Pickles from The Hot Sauce Co is great for peak summertime grilling. Every burger needs a bit of relish and for those of you who like it spicy, this is the perfect condiment for the occasion.

Hot Sauce Review: Ruthless Hot Sauce Habanero

by

I found a bottle of Habanero sauce by Ruthless Hot Sauce at a Farmboy in Kingston, Ontario. It was the only one on the shelf made in Canada so I picked one up to try.

This is an onion and carrot-based hot sauce that tastes quite a bit like mulligatawny soup.

It is not very spicy and has a somewhat bland, watery taste. While it doesn’t taste bad, it is definitely not on my list of favourite hot sauces.

Front St Heat + Front St Fire Hot Sauce Review

by

Front St Heat claims to be Canada’s premium hot sauce, but is it true? Maybe if you’re only comparing grocery store hot sauces. While Front St Heat and Fire are both pretty decent sauces, I don’t think they can compete with many of the amazing hot sauce makers in Canada.

Don’t get me wrong, Front St Heat and Fire both taste pretty darn good. They just fall into a different category for me. Front St Heat is more of a spicy pizza sauce or a dipper. Front St Fire is closer to a BBQ sauce or a great marinade.
