Core of Hell
Hell’s Kitchen Hot Sauce
This hot sauce is our winner from the Weekend of Fire 2007 in Cincinnati, and Hell’s Kitchen’s brochure pretty much sums it up; the core of Hell is Heaven, and the core of Heaven is Hell. I met two of the owners of Hell’s Kitchen, and we had a very good discussion. After trying “The Core of Hell” sauce, I now feel obligated to try every other flavor this company makes.
The Core of Hell offers complex flavors and strong heat rooted in pepper extract. It has black pepper overtones, making it a great complement to pulled chicken or pulled pork bbq. It’s also a great replacement for cocktail sauce, and I’m considering making a salad dressing from it.
The Core of Hell is a great blend of heat and flavor, which actually makes it useful as a condiment as well as a cooking additive. However, this is some really hot stuff, and I recommend putting it on your hamburger only if you truly know what you’re doing.
I will now work my way through the myriad of sauces that Hell’s Kitchen offers. If the rest are as intriguing as Core, I will be a happy man.
