Benny T's Vesta Dry Hot Sauce
Fed up with liquid hot sauces that too-often mask food rather than enhancing it, the guys bringing us Benny T's Vesta Dry Hot Sauce ($7-$10) have re-envisioned what a hot sauce should be. Made from fresh chiles grown on location in their pepper farm (boasting as many as 300 individual chile plants), this hot sauce isn't a sauce at all, but a rub. It's serious hot sauce for people who like their food seriously hot, available in three variations: hot, made from thai chiles and ahi amarillo; very hot, made from chocolate habaneros and scotch bonnets; and ghost, made from ghost chiles and a chocolate ghost hybrid.
