Just something about greens and vinegar and heat. Just can't explain it, but it's the perfect combination!
Will try that, tried it so far with; chips, chili, pasta.. And all tasted like crap.

Tabasco is great for cooking a steak in for a few hours, the steak comes out amazing, and not too sweet or sour.
Try it - believe me. Just make sure you use a few tablespoons, reapply if nessisary when turning steak.
It's awesome!!

I suppose it's time to come out of the closet...I Like Tabasco!
There I said it! Finally free of the burden of hiding it all these years!
Seriously though, not sure why the hate on Tabasco all the time, but if you don't like vinegar based sauces, then you will not like Tabasco or any other vinegar based sauce. I personally love vinegar, but that probably has something to do with the way we eat pork barbecue here in central North Carolina...with a vinegar based dip. I pretty much love anything that can be pickled, and sometimes I take a quick shot of apple cider vinegar in the evening just because I love the taste and tangy flavor.
As an earlier poster said, all sauces have their time and place, and there will always be a bottle of Tabasco in my fridge - and oh MAN do I love their chipotle sauce...

eeew.. nooooooo not mass quantities of Franks, that stuff is available EVERYWHERE.... what I meant was the reference to the Yellow-7 Turkey slap that was added to the Caesar by finitejest
As a side note... I've heard some people who love to make a lot of hot wings get those 4L (gallon) jugs of Marie Sharp's Beware and cut it 50/50 (or whatever ratio they like) with one of the Frank's Red Hots/extra hot etc... and apparently it is quite good
About the only thing I use Franks on these days is hot wings(it seems to be made for wings).. but I only use it as a base mixed with other things.... it saves me adding more vinegar to the mix and works out ok.... but I just can't use it in any other way now that I have access to much much better sauces.

I think the hate comes from the overly weak heat level and the watery vinegary taste plus here is is as expensive as all the other supermarket "hot" sauces but it comes in a tiny bottle for the same price...
I don't think it is horrible but it is a last resort for me... I much prefer other sauces...but I guess it does have its uses

it's only available from the hippyseed company.
That is unfortunate... I wonder if Uncle Big's and Neil from HSC could be convinced to bring in a crate or two 
dont know or if its the spices they use. I could of swore I've had other fermented chiles in other hot sauces & didnt have the funky flavor like I taste in franks.
I agree theres something about louisiana style hot sauces that goes great with breakfast food. not saying its always tabasco but louisana style.
I do like tabasco chipotle & their hab sauce, IMO those are the best in their lineup.
Franks is one of my classic faves. I've had many sauces but it is still one I buy from time to time. Wings, Pizza, Eggs, Fries, etc, etc.
I love Texas Pete as a base for wing sauce. Honestly though it is not all that different from Crystal or Franks. Any of them are good for a good wing sauce. Hell, Frank's is the original sauce from when the Anchor Bar started Buffalo wings. For me it is a great starting point, then I add stuff to make it my own. Of course, there are many that have made a commercial wing sauce now that are pretty good, but if you want to make your own Frank's is a great starting point.
I like it, but it is very mild. It's a buffalo type sauce not intended for use on bland foods. I like it for use in wing sauce, on leftover pizza, or on tacos. I also normally enjoy mixing it with Sriracha to give it a little more kick, but again Sriracha isn't all that hot either.
I've heard some people mix it 50/50 with Marie Sharp's BEWARE and use it for their hot-wing sauce... while it would still be vinegarry because of franks, it isn't as bad and the Marie Sharp's BEWARE adds a bit more heat as well as some good flavour to it...
Might be worth a shot on some of that franks stuff... but I wouldn't want to ruin a whole thing of Marie Sharps by mixing all of it though

Friends, Romans, chileheads, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Frank's, not to praise it;
The evil that weak hot sauces do lives after them,
The good is oft interréd with their empty bottles,
So let it be with Frank's…. The noble Brutus
Hath told you Frank's was not hot:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Frank's answered it….
Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest,
(For Brutus is an honourable man;
So are they all; all honourable men)
Come I to speak in Frank's funeral….
Frank's was my first hot sauce, faithful and tasty to me:
But Brutus says Frank's was a weak sauce;
And Brutus is an honourable man….
He hath brought many Jolokia sauces home to Rome,
Whose taste did satisfy all:
Did this in Frank's seem ambitious?
When that the poor have needed hot sauce, Frank's hath been there:
Weak sauce should be made of weaker stuff:
Yet Brutus says Frank's was weak;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
You all did see that at various fiery foods shows
I thrice presented Frank's a kingly crown,
Which he did thrice refuse: was this weak sauce?
Yet Brutus says he was not hot at all;
And, sure, he is an honourable man.
I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love Frank's once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then to mourn for Frank's?
O judgement! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their capsaicin receptors…. Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin there with Frank's,
And I must pause till it come back to me.

Zackly. Ain't no chilehead sauce but one for the masses. It's not all that bad for a no heat sauce.
