In April research firm IBISWorld declared manufacturing of the spicy condiment to be one of the 10 fastest-growing industries in the U.S., with average company revenue jumping 9.3 percent per year over the last decade.

At a glance it looks like they took the standard red pepper flakes you’d see in a pizza joint or cheap Italian place, dumped them into the cup and poured oil over them.

I think they fry up the crushed Chinese red chilis in peanut oil.

Every January ZestFest comes to D/FW. It’s a spicy foods convention/show. Vendors of salsa and spicy snacks, chef demos, etc. Somebody always passes out after a macho attempt at eating a ghost chili sauce. One of my FAVE sauces is Jardine’s Sontava sauce. All the great habanero flavor but comes in different levels of heat.

It’s awesome whatever it is. I have it every week or two, usually with sesame chicken and fried rice. Not a fancy place, well run and clean though, carryout only.

For fans of Tapatio, this always makes me laugh. It’s not politically correct and does contain a swear word, so beware if there are kiddos around.

You’d probably enjoy some of the more pungent varieties of shrimp cocktail sauce, too. Not sure whether it’s regional or not. Wasabi-level horseradish burn in a textured, meaty, sweet-tart tomato based sauce with the best of them, a very slight kick only slightly different from ketchup in the worst of them.

Melinda’s is very good, but my favorite is Marie Sharp’s. Great flavor, just the right amount of heat...just wonderful on eggs.
