But, I'll bet if Trappey's or Melinda's, or Tapatio, or even Louisiana Gold were packaged in those same tiny little jugs you'd have to trade five (to as many as ten) Tabasco for just one of the good stuff.

Restaurants and diners around here (we're way to classy to have an Awful House (or even a Toddle House, Gridiron or Steak & Eggs Kitchen)) do Crystal (Red and/or Blue), Frank's, Louisiana Gold, Tapatio or (mostly) a home grown brand - Raven's, either straight or the berry variety.
