• Secret Aardvark Habanero is famous for its fan-favorite blend of Caribbean and Tex-Mex flavors, but also because celebs like Alexa Chung and Bob Saget tried it on Season 4 of “Hot Ones.” Saget’s exact words after learning where it’s made? “Portland, that’s a great place, I go there quite often.” Boom.
• If you’re looking for something to smother on a bucket of wings, try Fire on the Mountain’s Buffalo Hot Sauce. You can order a bottle of the fiery condiment online, but we recommend picking it up in person since you’ll be able to add a jar of Raspberry Habanero to your order.
• Hot Winter Hot Sauce uses its own distinct pepper variety in its Original sauce, which is similar to Sriracha... but better. If you’re feeling bold, go for the Bulgarian Carrot.
