It’s kind of funny. I live in Kansas City, the BBQ capital of the world – and yet I’m about as clueless in the ways of my city’s finest as it comes.
My idea of a spicy condiment is Dijon mustard – and even then, just a light shmear, please.
I do know enough, at least, to have been thrilled when Madison’s Original Hot Sauce contacted me to let me know me that they are newly certified kosher by the Kof-K (in addition to being all-natural and vegan).
Because for those of you who enjoy a little fire in your belly, it’s good to have options. Especially when those options are as pleasantly peppery – with rich garlicky undertones – as Madison’s.
The creation of Brad Child, Madison’s is named for US President James Madison, who is said to have stocked U.S. ships with spicy condiments so sailors could spruce up the bland food they were served out at sea.
Available at Whole Foods, Madison’s is perfect not only to perk up your grilling, but also to add interest to all your vegetarian and gluten-free cooking, too.

While the overall favorite in the house is ketchup,, I like spicy, so hot sauce sounds great!

I love ketchup – on everything! Followed closely by it’s spicy cousin, salsa!
My favorite condiment is catsup, but I’ve cut back on using it because it’s loaded with salt and sugar.
Of course, I “like” KOAB. I’ve been following you and saving money for almost two years now I think.

Spicy mayo!
Sweet chili!!
Me and my family love Mustard all types!!! We go through so much mustard it’s crazy we use it in and on everything from salads to potato kugel (tastes like a knish)! I also like hot and spicy like schug and matbucha, but I make it myself so when I don’t get a chance (which is most times) then I do without.
My favorite condiment is balsamic vinegar. I put it on everything (much to the chagrin of family and friends). I am lost without a bottle! I keep three bottles of basic Bartenura in the house and one bottle of the Bartenura “good stuff” for myself.
Ketchup is the best!

My favorite condiment would have to be an either or, honey mustard and good mayo are pretty much “neck’n neck” where I’m concerned.
