Michael Anthony’s Cranking Up the Heat!

We’ve got some news for the Michael Anthony fans and the hot sauce connoisseurs out there:

Michael has switched to a newer and larger manufacturer and distributor for his entire line of award-winning MAD ANTHONY’S SAUCES. This has brought a couple benefits:

– For those of you who wanted more heat, Michael’s heard the call and now all of his sauces are even hotter than before! “You’re gonna need extra thick asbestos underwear from here on out!” says Mr. Anthony.

– He’s totally re-tooled the recipe for all five sauces, making them even better than before! And he removed the High Fructose Corn Syrup from the two that had it (both BBQ sauces), resulting in a healthier sauces while still maintaining their great flavor.

About the MAD ANTHONY’S line of award-winning sauces:

It’s common knowledge that Michael Anthony is a hardcore hot sauce connoisseur and after years of sampling the world’s finest hot sauces, the mighty bassist has decided to come out with his own brand of liquid fire!

“When I was playing bass in Van Halen I picked up the nickname ‘Mad Anthony’ because I put massive doses of hot sauce on everything. Nothing was too hot and everyone knew to steer clear of my food! Eventually, I decided to make my own sauces so I could share my passion for flavor and fire with you!

“When we sat down to develop this sauce, we decided to use only the finest ingredients that this little blue orb called Earth could offer. We chose the delightful Pimiento Pepper to act as the backdrop for my incendiary elixir. Then we sweetened it up a bit with some Sweet Red Bell Peppers. We also thought it would be fun to kick everyone’s asses with overly generous helpings of fresh roasted garlic and Habanero Chilies which were flown in fresh from the Caribbean.

“I had a full sweat goin’, but we weren’t done yet, so next we heaped in some Ancho Chile Powder, Crushed Chilies and Black Pepper to give it the depth and complexity that a truly great sauce requires.

“This sauce is a celebration of life’s simple pleasures including great taste and a lot of heat both North and South of the border. I think it is perfect for any occasion and any food.

“I invite you to try my sauce, and make sweatin’ it out on the can the next morning part of your everyday ritual.

“For maximum heat, get out the asbestos underwear and DOUBLE YOUR DOSE!!

“Bon Appetit!”

—Michael Anthony

MAD ANTHONY’S Reviews:

“I was at Sammy Hagar’s Vegas house and this was sitting on the table. By the time breakfast was over, it had been on my eggs, sausage and taters, plus a shot in the Bloody Mary. It’s the first habanero sauce I’ve had that didn’t completely melt my socks. The habanero flavor is excellent without being over-the-top hot. I was tempted to rip him off and take the bottle, but I voted for good Karma and came home and ordered 3 bottles. My favorite hot sauce ever.”

“This is my single favorite hotsauce. All of Mike & Diane’s products are good, but this one I use the most. It is an exceptionally full flavored, chunky sauce that I don’t tire of.”

“Bought a bottle of this from Mad Anthony himself at a local appearance he was doing. This stuff rocks like the man himself and it goes well with everything I’ve tried it on. If you’re not already a hot sauce fan, you will be after trying the XX Hot Sauce. If you are, you’re likely going to toss out your other sauces and stick with just this one. Gonna buy a few more bottles as Christmas presents for friends and family. Thanks, Mike!”
