With Season 23 in the bag, it’s time for another spicy season of celebrity guests taking on the legendary Hot Ones gauntlet for the amusement of us closet sadists. Cue Season 24. I know why you’re here, so lets get started.
Here’s what Sean had to say about the Season 24 Hot Ones lineup:
Hot Ones The Classic Garlic Fresno Hot Sauce
“And to kick things off, after a nice long run with Hot Ones Buffalo Sauce we return to a classic, The Classic Garlic Fresno in the lead off spot. The Classic Garlic Fresno has that familiar combo of tart and tangy vinegar, a fistful of garlic and fresh Fresno chilies from Smokin’ Ed’s fields. It goes with just about everything so for us it’s the perfect sauce to kick things off.”
Double Comfort Seeing Double Hot Sauce
“And then in number two when you’re thinking about a perfect sauce, a jalapeno based sauce is kind of the perfect thing to get that engine revving right before things really kick off and that’s exactly what we do at number two with Seeing Double. Not only does it taste great, with its mix of herbs and a hint of sweetness, but it will also make you feel good knowing that proceeds from Double Comfort Foods support hunger relief charities.”
Mark’s Fermented Kimchi Hot Sauce
“Alright moving on to sauce number three, Mark’s Fermented Kimchi. This sauce right here takes the salty flavours, the sour, the sweet, the spiciness of kimchi… harnesses it all into this very funky number three sauce. Rather than the standards like jalapeno and habanero this heat is built up with fresh Thai chilies and a splash of soy sauce which helps pull everything together into balance. If you’re not a diehard fan of kimchi you will be after adding this sauce to your rotation.”
Hot Ones Los Calientes Barbacoa Hot Sauce
“Alright moving on, and just in time for the season of grilling it is Barbacoa, the smokiest of our Los Calientes sauces in the four spot. Featuring Applewood smoked red jalapenos plus a dash of habanero it adds the perfect flame kissed flavour to the fourth wing.”
Fat Cat Gourmet Chairman Meow’s Revenge Hot Sauce
“Alright moving on to sauce number five, the halfway mark. Right here we have Fat Cat Gourmet’s Chairman Meow’s Revenge, featuring the Trinidad Scorpion pepper. Now here’s a fun fact about Trinidad scorpion peppers is they are sometimes mixed into paint and then painted on the bottom of boat hulls to prevent barnacles from growing. That may sound aggressive for a number five sauce, and let’s be honest it is, but Fat Cat Gourmet’s recipe balances the creeping heat of scorpions with a tasty trifecta of garlic cilantro and lime juice. There you have it, the front half of the lineup.”
Il Mig Onima Hot Sauce
“Moving on to the back half, if you like fermented sauces Season 24 is the lineup for you. Unlike any season lineup before it. Onima at number six, our first ever hot sauce from Spain brings the funk thanks to aged habanero peppers along with notes of Sherry vinegar, garlic and paprika. Do you remember when Ludacris talked about dynamic simplicity? This right here is dynamic simplicity in hot sauce form.”
Black-Eyed Susan Spice Co. Red Flag Hot Sauce
All right moving on to number seven a little bit of a pirate theme, we can’t help it it’s in our DNA. Swashbuckling sensibilities have always been a part of Hot Ones and that is why I’m attracted to this scorching number seven sauce. Black Eyed Susan’s Red Flag brings sweetness from muscadine grape juice and raspberries which can barely contain the heat of scorpion peppers which will have our guests feeling shipwrecked, battered, beaten, but there is no rest for the weary in this lineup…”
Da’ Bomb Beyond Insanity Hot Sauce
“…because up next holding its position as it has forever the legacy hot sauce in the lineup, Da’ Bomb Beyond Insanity. It’s back. At this point all the supplemental oxygen has been kicked, you’re delirious and battered by the elements, but there’s nothing left to do but ride the adrenaline. Put one foot in front of the other and as you continue to climb the altitude gets higher and so do the Scovilles.”
High River Sauces Peppers Up! Hot Sauce
“At number nine High Rivers Peppers Up! Peppers Up! features Smokin’ Ed’s elusive Apollo pepper which is the star of the show in this number nine sauce from Hot Ones vet High River. But with this sauce where there’s pain there’s pleasure thanks to a mix of tart berries, brown sugar and Yuzu that can excite the palate before another punishing wave of spice washes over you to close things out.”
Hot Ones The Last Dab Xperience Hot Sauce
“Holding on at the end of The Gauntlet is The Last Dab Xperience, made with the world record holding hottest pepper in the world, Pepper X. Smokin’ Ed worked his magic to distill his Infamous mutant chili into this pure pepper concoction made up of over 91% Pepper X in its pure, dried, fresh, and all natural distillate forms.”
“And there you have it, another spice symphony to fuel Season 24 of our show. Thank you so much for watching and supporting us now through 23 seasons and into 24. We’ve been doing Hot Ones now for over nine years straight, so thank you so much to the audience for watching and supporting us all these years. My commitment to you is I will continue to burn my face off. I recognize it and accept it as a privilege. I love doing this show. We love bringing it to you every Thursday at 11:00 am, and the train does not stop baby. When you see the hot sauce reveal you know the Hot Ones Premiere is just around the corner and Season 24 will premiere on May 23rd.”
Don’t miss Season 24 Hot Ones fans. We are sure that it is going to be a Season to remember.
