need a substitute for Texas Pete

RRP

Suddenly I can't find Texas Pete Hot Sauce locally anymore and I need a half cup. Any ideas for a substitute that is close? I have plenty of Tabasco handy - but in that quantity I'm afraid it would be too hot for our tastes. Thanks in advance!

the stuff from "the chicken" recipe might also work

I think Frank's is pretty close to Texas Pete. -RP

There is no substitute for Texas Pete.

thanks - my wife just called that she scored 3 bottles of Texas Pete at the local Cubs store, a Chicago based chain.

Arizona Gunslinger is my favourite sauce. Not heavy on vinegar and jalepeno based. Not too hot.

Since Texas pete's is cayenne based, I use Franks and Louisiana hot sauce when TP is not around. Are you coming to the Eggfest? If so, I'll carry some in for you.

Add one more for Frank's.

+1 to Franks, Louisiana or any cayenne/vinegar based sauce.

Here's my humble "cellar" of liquid fire.
