The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Frank's RedHot started in 1920 in Louisiana, built by Frank Ständer on cayenne peppers and vinegar. The company makes hot sauce, chiefly their original formula. In 1964 Ständer's son took over and kept the recipe unchanged, a decision that outlasted fashion. Restaurants in New York and beyond began using Frank's RedHot as their standard wing sauce around the 1980s. Today the brand sits across 21133 tracked brands and ranks first in Food, Beverages & Snacks. Frank's holds place as America's most-used hot sauce in commercial kitchens.
