So, I’ve been hearing a lot about this Poirier’s Hot Sauce lately. Yeah, it’s from that UFC fighter, Dustin Poirier. You know, the guy from Louisiana? Anyway, I’m a big fan of his fights, and I figured, why not give his hot sauce a shot? He teamed up with some company called Heartbeat Hot Sauce to make it, and it’s supposed to be all about that Louisiana flavor.
First, I gotta say, getting my hands on this stuff wasn’t exactly a walk in the park. But after some searching, I finally found it. And let me tell you, the moment I opened the bottle, it took me back. Seriously, the smell alone was like a trip down memory lane, reminding me of some good old Cajun cooking. They call it “Poirier’s Louisiana Style,” and it really does live up to the name.
I started experimenting with it, you know, trying it on different things. First up, scrambled eggs. Man, that was a good choice. The sauce really kicks those eggs up a notch. It’s not crazy hot, but it’s got a nice little burn that builds up. Definitely an 8 out of 10 for me on the eggs.
I went on testing this stuff. I put it on everything. My tacos. My noodles. Even tried a little bit on some pizza. I just love the taste. It’s vinegary, a little sweet, and has that good pepper flavor without being overwhelming.
The other day I saw Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier together at that UFC 257 press conference, and McGregor was actually talking about the hot sauce. That was kinda cool. So I know it’s not just me who’s into it.
This whole thing got me thinking about hot sauces in general. Like, there are so many different kinds out there, right? You’ve got your sriracha from Thailand, and then there’s that classic Louisiana-style one, Frank’s RedHot. It seems like every place has its own take on hot sauce, with different peppers and ingredients. I did a little digging and found out that The Original Louisiana Brand Hot Sauce was actually the first one to use Louisiana in its name. They had a slogan, “not too hot, not too mild.” It looks like Bruce Foods sold the brand to Summit Hill Foods a while back, but it’s still around.
My Final Thought
- It’s a Winner: This Poirier’s Louisiana Style is good stuff. If you like a little heat with a lot of flavor, you should check it out.
- Not Just for Eggs: Sure, it’s great on eggs, but it works on pretty much anything.
- Louisiana Style is Legit: It really does capture that classic Louisiana flavor.
All in all, this whole hot sauce adventure has been pretty fun. I’m glad I decided to give Poirier’s sauce a try. It’s become a new staple in my kitchen for sure.
