The Original Louisiana Brand Hot Sauce, Original, in a one-gallon jug for wings, fried chicken, eggs, Cajun dishes and refilling table bottles.
The jug is a deep red with a matching red cap and a moulded handle, and the yellow label has THE ORIGINAL above LOUISIANA in navy, the word brand, Hot Sauce in bold, a red fleur-de-lis badge marked since 1928, and Original on a red brushstroke above a navy band giving net 1 gallon, 3.78 l. As general background, The Original Louisiana Brand Hot Sauce is made in New Iberia, Louisiana, by Summit Hill Foods, which bought the brand from Bruce Foods in 2015. Louisiana-style hot sauces are typically thin and pourable, with a bright, tangy heat rather than a slow burn. Commonly, wing shops toss fried wings in it with melted butter, diners shake it over scrambled eggs, grits and hash browns, and Cajun kitchens stir it into gumbo, jambalaya-style rice and red beans. Fried chicken counters brush it on before serving, and sandwich shops add a few dashes to mayo for a spicy spread. A gallon jug is typically used to refill table bottles, so decant into clean shakers with a funnel. It is also popular on fried fish and crispy shrimp sandwiches. Keep the jug capped and stored away from heat.
