Brad and Chris are always a true delight. Especially together :)

[jordanrose]

So happy to have Chris and Brad together!

[beezlebub]

Zaynab has this wonderful aura about her: she seems so authentic, calm and accepting. Love her.

[ElYucateco_hotsauce]

Honored to be included in this lineup - thank you!

[joem]

Been missing the Chris and Brad combo!

[d.darling.honeyboy]

I need more Brad in my life, please please give us more Brad

[apocling]

The calabrian chili paste can be gotten at trader joes under the name "Bomba" for only a few dollars as opposed to every online store charging way to much.

Brad! I'm so happy you chose Aji Amarillo! The easiest meal you can make is Papa Huancaina! Boiled potatoes topped with a blended sauce of the Aji Amarillo, galletas (crackers), and farmers cheese. Garnish with olive and hardboiled egg.

[beejuh]

Gochujang on grilled cheese is pretty killer too.

[jmcmonster]

Yellowbird is one of my favorites! I was living in Austin when it was first introduced and now I can’t live without it. I’m very happy they have a wider distribution now, so I can find it basically wherever I am.

Zaynab is absolutely one of the best presences on BA. Loved her on the hot dog video too.

[reynardthefox]

I will not cook without my fermented chilli and garlic paste. my houseplants are all exotic peppers. life is pointless without some heat...thank you guys..loved it

[dr.phils.left.buttcheek]

me: uses the powder at the bottom of the takis bag to season food

[wegotmonkey]

The green habanero el yuca is one of my favourite hot sauces of all time

[msmultimandaschannel]

I just tried out the habanero honey butter… life-changing!

[SLCliving]

I love the Brad Chris team! More Brad please

[beautybard]

YELLOW BIRD HABENERO CONDIMENT! I love that stuff. I first had it on a grilled cheese. Its everywhere in Austin, but was hard to find at the store for a long time. But now I have a giant bottle in my fridge. It's probably my 50th one. It goes on everything.

[k.a.u.]

The orange habanero el yucateco is my go to. It's got a more complex flavor than the just spicy of the green one.

[kekobalderama]

How did she miss the opp to put the green hot sauce (el yucateco) on a fried egg, perfect breakfast hot sauce
