From Punk Rock to Hot Sauce
08.20.15
By Mimi Ngo
When it comes to hot sauce, I'm usually happy using El Tapatio for just about anything. One day, while at Wahoo's, I had noticed a hot sauce on the table that I had never tried before called Gringo Bandito. Being someone who is always looking for something new to enjoy, I gave it a try and was hooked instantly.
Gringo Bandito was established in 2004 by Orange County native, Dexter Holland who is also the frontman of the punk rock band, The Offspring. According to gringobandito, Holland had a passion for hot sauce that was just as comparable to the passion he had for music.
After creating his own recipe, he gifted the sauce as Christmas presents to family and friends and had a strong enough response which prompted the start and production of Gringo Bandito.
You may see this sauce featured in different Mexican food restaurants throughout Orange County and Huntington Beach but if you want a bottle for yourself, head to your nearest Stater Brothers and give this smoky flavored hot sauce a try!
