South Street Diner Celebrates National Hot Sauce Day With Their New Homemade Hot Sauce

Hot sauce, a condiment loved by many and feared by some, is made by
crushing or pureeing raw, cooked, smoked, or pickled chili peppers with
spices. Different parts of the world use different kinds of chili peppers as the
base for their hot sauces. For example, hot sauces in Mexico are usually made
of chipotle or jalapeño peppers, while in Jamaica, scotch bonnet peppers are
popularly used to make hot sauces. South Street Diner’s vinegar-based hot sauce uses a combination of six peppers that vary based on what’s in season making for a hot and tangy
sauce with a slight sweetness. Pair it with a breakfast burrito, omelet, chicken
fingers, or burger for the ultimate hot sauce experience.

South Street Diner (formerly the Blue Diner) was built in 1947 by the Worcester Dining
Company to serve local factory workers. Over the years, the Diner has become a local
landmark, a constant in Boston's after-hours scene and a final evening destination for local
residents, students and visitors. When the clubs close, the Diner is the place to grab
something to eat, hang out with friends, celebrity watch, and keep the party going. No visit
to Boston is complete without a stop to the South Street Diner. Over the years, the Diner
has been called "The PLACE for college students to start their Spring Break Tour" by
Rolling Stone Magazine. The Diner has also been featured in numerous feature films,
including: Hiding Out with John Cryer; Second Sight with John Laroquette; House Guest
with Steve Martin; “21;” The Blue Diner for PBS and featured in the DC Comic ‘BatGirl.’
