Frank's RedHot is a hot sauce made from a variety of cayenne peppers, produced by Reckitt Benckiser.
History
Frank's RedHot's recipe dates to 1896 to the Frank Tea and Spice Company in Cincinnati, Ohio. Owner Jacob Frank would in 1918 contract for the Estilette Pepper Farm in Louisiana where Adam Estilette and Frank became business partners. The two men mixed spices, vinegar, garlic and cayenne peppers and allowed them to age, and created the original blend of Frank's RedHot as it first appeared on the market in 1920.
It is known as the primary ingredient in the first chicken wing sauce, concocted in 1964 by Teressa Bellissimo at the Anchor Bar and Grill in Buffalo, New York.
In 1977 Frank's RedHot was sold to Durkee Famous Foods. Since the purchase of the Durkee brand in 1995, it is owned by Reckitt Benckiser. Frank's is produced in Springfield, Missouri.
In 2007 Thanasi Foods began marketing licensed Frank's RedHot flavored beef jerky and meat snacks.
It is well-known for its commercials depicting an elderly woman (Ethel) explaining her recipes for multiple foods, usually in front of a prestigious figure (Queen Elizabeth II or a catholic priest), she will quip "I put that s*** on everything", much to the disdain of those around her. The expletive is always censored with a bleep.
