We know people who add Mad Dog to just about everything. It’s been mixed with olive oil to accent an otherwise bland salad. (Just a note, we do have chili oils, but a drop of Mad Dog hot sauce in your everyday olive oil will work in a pinch.)

And we’re big fans of the people that start their day with a boiled egg and a dash of fiery goodness.
