I happen to think that Tabasco is much hotter than Franks. I'm a hab eater at heart, and contrary to the many anti-tabascites out there, I think Tabasco is a great everyday/everywhere sauce. I'd ask for it over Franks at any restaurant when you can't get anything else or when my stash of habanero powder is empty... and for that matter I ask for it when there ARE other things available. I also agree that the aging process is the key with Tabasco. We have a bottle at the house that we treat like sourdough.. that is, we always save some to put into the next batch. I don't want to tell you how long we've been doing this, because...well..it may just be too gross. Anyway.. my vote is for Tabasco being hotter.
