The Mountain Man Garlic and Pepper Sauce, pictured below, could have been plucked at random from a souvenir-store shelf. If by some strange chance your local supermarket carries it, your eyes have probably scanned past it a hundred times and sent nothing but disinterested white noise back to your brain. But rest assured: This is no ordinary hot sauce. This hot sauce was personally chosen by Andrew Zimmern, host of Bizarre Foods on The Travel Channel. Zimmern is a hot sauce enthusiast who claims to carry 45 bottles of the stuff in his kitchen at all times. He knows his hot sauce. He loves his hot sauce. He eats his hot sauce straight from the palm of his hand. Seriously.

Today marks the last day to sign up for Zimmern’s hot sauce club, and it also happens to be two days before father’s day. Coincidence? Probably, but who cares. If you’re not already a member of OpenSky, simply sign up and register for the club. Then dad—or you—will receive two bottles of hot sauce every month for the next three months. That’s a total of six reminders of what a kick-ass son you are. The rules of club membership stipulate that all sauces will be a surprise upon delivery, but OpenSky has permitted us to reveal one of the first sauces to our beloved Guy Gourmet readers. The Mountain Man sauce here is a simple sauce made mostly from aged red peppers, vinegar, spices, and flecks of garlic. The result is sweet, bold, and acidic enough to drill ribbons of heat through a pan of ground beef. Dad’s taco night just received a much-needed upgrade.
