Hill Country’s Habanero If you Can Stand It Hot Sauce Recommended by Whom You Know

Vindaloo, Sambal Oelick Chili Paste or Tabasco tops most of my foods on a daily basis. The hotter the better. At this point I think I fried my tastebuds so hot is all I can actually taste. So my new go to is Hill Country’s Habanero If you Can Stand It Hot Sauce. Comes in a glass flask shape bottle to make it seem Texas authentic. And boy does it pack a punch. A little tangy at first followed by a wallop of heat. Great on eggs, steaks and chicken. Love it on popcorn as well.

For those who need a little more spice in their life, there is Hill Country "If You Can Stand It" Habanero Hot Sauce. This excellent spicy sauce will put a kick in any meal you serve up. It may not be for the faint of heart, but it isn't so spicy that you lose the other flavors in the sauce or the flavors of your dinner! Not only does this sauce contain habanero pepper, but it also has peach nectar and peach extract! Those sweet flavors deliver the perfect balance to the hot and spicy peppers. It also makes this sauce a perfect companion for the Peachy Deegan cocktail, which is now being served at Hill Country! Whether you're dining at the restaurant or making your own dinner at home, be sure to add a little of this hot sauce to give your dinner that extra zing that will put it over the top!

Hill Country Barbecue Market has hot, so to speak sauce for you to try on all your meats, salads and subs called “If You Can’t Stand It” Habanero Hot Sauce. Tangy and hot, just like I love it. A one of a kind flavor that goes hand in hand with your spicy palette. I first tried it with grilled chicken as a dipping sauce and it was fantastic, so I began dipping my chips in it as well and I loved it. This is not for the faint of heart though. I am a huge fan of hot sauce so this sauce was right up my alley. It is no lit match but it is the perfect blend of hot and spicy all in a 6.67 fl oz glass bottle. Gear up for the big game this chilly Sunday and get yourself some “If You Can’t Stand It” Habanero Hot Sauce.

If you like hot sauce you must try Hill Country Habanero Hot Sauce! But even if you usually wear sunscreen factor 10, always bring an umbrella in case it rains, and usually ask for mild sauce, you should give it a try! Nashville promotes itself as Music City USA, but this sauce is created to give you a flavor of and remind you of Austin, Texas, where most musicians flock to these days apparently, and to celebrate the great tradition of cook-outs that is prevalent in that town. When you open the jar, your nose is accosted with a rich smooth aroma. Pour it over some juicy steaks or similar food items, taste, and your mouth explodes with enjoyment! The ingredients contain peach nectar and natural peach extract, but of course it is the habanero peppers that give this sauce it's distinctive taste! The packaging contains slogans such as 'if you can stand it' and 'music to your mouth': test it with the Peachy Deegan cocktail, available at Hill Country's restaurant at 30 W. 26th Street in Manhattan!

Both Hill Country and Hill Country Chicken are among Peachy's Picks.

Hill Country Barbecue Market is now selling its signature homemade If You Gotta Have It barbecue sauce and brand-new If You Can Stand It hot sauce in Harris Teeter stores throughout Washington, D.C. as well as North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland. The If You Can Stand It hot sauce, named for its fiery flavor and spicy kick, will make its product debut, while the If You Gotta Have It barbecue sauce, previously only available online or in Hill Country’s New York City (30 W. 26th St.) and Washington, D.C. (410 7th St. NW) restaurant locations, will be available for the first time on store shelves.

Known for its award-winning Texas-style barbecue, Hill Country Barbecue Market was named “Best Barbecue in New York” by New York Magazine and Time Out New York, as well as one of the “Top 10 Barbecue Restaurants in the Country” by The Wall Street Journal.

Hill Country began bottling the homemade If You Gotta Have It barbecue sauce to serve alongside menu classics like beef brisket and ribs. Among barbecue purists, Texas is a dry-rub, no-sauce zone, thus Hill Country cheekily dubbed the barbecue sauce If You Gotta Have It in homage to that tradition. In 2008, the barbecue sauce won the Silver Medal Award of Excellence in the Barbecue Sauce: Fruit Mild category from the National Barbecue Association.

The release of its brand-new If You Can Stand It hot sauce coincides with the partnership with Harris Teeter stores, offering customers exclusive access to this original product. “We are very excited to be launching into the retail business with our proprietary sauces and look forward to seeing bottles of If You Gotta Have It and If You Can Stand It on Harris Teeter store shelves,” says Marc Glosserman, founder and CEO of Hill Country Hospitality. Hill Country’s sauces are all made and bottled in America by Ashman Manufacturing Company, a gourmet manufacturer and distributor producing over 200 specialty food items throughout the United States.

Both the If You Gotta Have It barbecue sauce and the If You Can Stand It hot sauce have unique, lip-smacking flavor profiles and each complements Hill Country’s signature meats in its own way. Executive Chef Elizabeth Karmel notes the challenge of creating a barbecue sauce for Hill Country considering Texas is traditionally a no-sauce zone. Karmel says, “We wanted to create a sauce that would appeal to all barbecue lovers with a vinegar tang in a nod to North Carolina’s barbecue traditions, enough rich sweetness to appease Kansas City loyalists, and a touch of smoky chipotle and sweet chunks of peaches for Texas.”

The If You Gotta Have It barbecue sauce has a subtle, smoky heat with a note of fruitiness, while the If You Can Stand It hot sauce knocks your taste buds with its fiery tanginess. “Our hot sauce is for those who want that extra kick of heat with some smoky sweetness from the chipotles and peach nectar,” explains Karmel, adding, “the hot sauce boasts similar flavors to our barbecue sauce, making it the perfect accompaniment.”

Hill Country’s sauces will be available for purchase at select Harris Teeter food markets operating out of Washington, D.C., North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland. Store hours and locations are available on the website www.harristeeter.com.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
