I recently wrote a roundup of local hot sauce brands, and I thought it’d be easy to pick a favorite. I was wrong. There are so many delicious, unique options it was a challenge to place one above the rest. But if I had to, I’d choose Blister Hot Sauce. Run by brothers Jeremy, Richie and Jonathan Lister, the brand boasts three flavors — Original, Carolina Weeper and Jalapeño Business. What makes them special is that the peppers are smoked, which really enhances the flavor. The Original flavor pairs well with all kinds of dishes, but especially grilled food. You can order them online or find out which local shops carry Blister Hot Sauce at blisterhotsauce.com.
