The area
Address
Neighborhood: French Quarter
A small and teeming network of laissez-faire living lounged out on the balmy banks of the Mighty Mississippi, the French Quarter has long been a port of call for folks in search of a good time and a great story. Perpetually inebriated Bourbon Street runs across its midriff like a strand of cheap ribbon tied around an otherwise rather pretty and impressively well-kept vintage dress. Throughout the rest of the Quarter, brightly colored Victorian homes and businesses, famously done up with wrought-iron features, provide a distinct and immediately recognizable backdrop for all varieties of fun. At any given moment in this historic riverside setting, some of America’s finest meals are being cooked, most potent cocktails are being mixed, and most engaging music is being performed.

A must visit if you enjoy spicy foods! The staff is friendly and very helpful. Large selection and lots of samples. I bought several items but most didn't last so I had to order more online. There is even an app that is easy to order from. The Mango Fruit Salsa has a great flavor and just the right touch of hot if you like chips and salsa and the Reaper salsa is, if you can handle it, a nice add to any meal. My favorite hot sauces are the Smokin' Reaper and Tr3s Diablos. For those who enjoy grillin' I recommend the Sweet Bourbon Glaze and Smoke Dat Butt rub.

Amazing stuff and great staff. Ended up talking to a Dr from North Carolina. I asked if he was with his wife, said "no she's my sister/wife." Ok. Dr said last time he bought some extra spicy stuff, it gave him gas and his sister/wife wouldn't join him in bed for an exciting evening.
Product I purchased was great.

Tons of variety and a fun place to shop. However, on our last day in New Orleans we ordered a variety shipment to our son in Chicago and an identical shipment to our son in law in Minnesota. The counter guy was busy and asked if he could ship it later on. No problem. A few days later all of the products were sent to Chicago and none of them to Minnesota; even though we charged for 2 shipments. Accidents happen, no big deal, but I wanted to get it straightened out so I called their store multiple times, left VMs but never received a response. I emailed a copy of our receipt and asked them to contact me.... again zero response. It has been a few weeks now and it is clear that they have no intention of making this right. Very disappointed with their total lack of customer service to correct their error.

Ok, since my youth I have thrived in elevating my "heat" level. I heard about this place and knew we'd have to drop by. I left with a few selections (sauces, jellies, and dips like concoctions). I will be using one infused with ghost peppers for the upcoming super bowl wings spread. It's right on the corner, open and airy.
They offer free (tiny spoon) samples.
We got street parking for .25, enabling us to run in and right out.

To taste all the sauces that catch your eye, you’ll need to visit more than once. They have every flavor imaginable and plenty to sample from.

If you like hot sauce, barbecue sauce and a taste of New Orleans this is a MUST visit. Unbelievable variety of sauces that you can taste for yourself. Prices are as good as the sauces - plus special offers on multiple purchases. The staff is as kind and patient as they are knowledgeable.

Never seen a shop stacked with so many spices like this one to suit every taste. It is very pricey though approximately $10.95 per spice + Tax. Make sure that you check each spice bottle to make sure that it is not open before you leave the shop or you would not be able to return it.

Fantastic shop, staff were knowledgeable about their products, had tasting of most of them available.
Bubble wrapped them when asked so we could take them home. They checked to make sure it would only be in checked luggage. Really helpful

This place had salsas, hot sauces, BBQ sauces, seasoning and more. They ranked each type on a number scale. One meant normal (not spicy) and it went up from there. There are taster areas around the bar-like checkout counter. You can walk around it sampling different things. If you want to try the hottest sauce, you have to sign a waiver. I didn’t try that one but it is fun to visit this place and test your tolerance for spicy things.

The staff was super friendly and helpful. You can taste anything they sell and there is a huge selection of BBQ sauces and rubs. The apple jalapeño pepper jelly is amazing!
