Thai cuisine is celebrated for its intricate balance of sweet, sour, salty, and bitter flavors.

Years ago, many restaurants were known to stock dining tables with only the essentials. No longer, though, are customers only interested in grabbing up traditional mustard, ketchup, salt and pepper to flavor a meal. These days, people are looking for real variety, and hot sauce makers are definitely answering the charge. While the closest thing to added spice used to be a bottle of Tabasco sauce, more and more restaurants are beginning to add some newer and more unique options to the tabletop.
