Mallette Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 No way, the big carrot chunks are what makes it awesome. Slather it all over some hawaiian pizza. I just wish it came in big mason jar sizes, or 5-gallon buckets. No argument...but Brian's use of them isn't for taste and there are no chunks of anything in his sauce. It's more of the consistency of Louisiana/Tabasco. While not safe to second guess a chef, my assumption was the carrot puree was more about texture than about taste. As a user, I am looking for no non-pepper to stick out noticeably. They should all blend together to form an amplifier and carrier for the fine peppers involved. JMHO, and for whatever it's worth...

Dave Yeah I shouldn't have said chunks, but it is really thick compared to Tabasco assuming we're talking about the same thing, barely comes out of that type of small bottle. He sent a small bottle after one of the "right this minute" contests. I've been rationing the last couple of servings.

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted February 11, 2015 Moderators Share Posted February 11, 2015 there's got to be at least a couple good tamale stands in the Corpus areaBeen looking for 5 years; good but not REAL good Have you tried Josie's? I thought those were great, but it has been a long time. If not you still have Water St. and the corporate HQ Whataburger restaurant.

CECAA850 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Brian's is more like the classic Louisiana/Tabasco as I mentioned...but with a dash of genius. Seems he's been holding out on me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallette Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 He sent a small bottle after one of the "right this minute" contests. I've been rationing the last couple of servings. Yep. That batch was just a bit on the thick side though still better than anything you can buy. I just felt like a bit less would both give it a bit less of a ketchup consistency and support the peppers slightly better. OTOH...I'll TAKE it!

oldtimer Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Thanks for the kind words and feedback y'all. It is a thicker sauce as described. I would love to source some 3 oz bottles with a wider mouth but so far no luck. I also have some 5 oz bottles on hand which make it easier to get out. The reason for the 3 oz need is the TSA travel regs. I never leave home without it. Lately I have added a green sauce which is the same recipe as the red with lemongrass and kaffir lime leaf, except the thai chiles are in the green stage, It has been very popular so far. Dave, maybe I will mix a sample for your evaluation as you suggest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallette Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Heck, put it in Garage Sale. You'll may get a bit of grumping from some but I consider great hot sauce to be an essential listening accessory. Dave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbert Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) perhaps our postings in some areas are not meeting the expectations of the general populous. Perhaps we might curtail our 'input' a bit? Without examples or more explanation it is a bit difficult to know what you are concerned over. I once caught a bass that sooooo big, he stripped my line clear off the reel and stole the lure. Edit; Sorry, wrong forum.
