Some years ago, maybe as long as 15 or 20 years, I used to go to BBQ place for lunch occasionally that had a “Wall Of Flame” collection of hot sauces. It happened to Lucille’s Bad To The Bone BBQ, and I went to both the Delray Beach and Boca Raton locations in Florida. I recall there was one hot sauce I liked that, IIRC, came in a bottle shaped like an Aztec pyramid. Perhaps orange and yellow labeling, but I’m less sure about that. I think it was somewhat larger than most bottles, too, but I’m also not sure about that. My Googling has failed to come up with the sauce. Anybody know what I’m talking about? I think it’s likely it’s not made any more. ---

Is it [Bufalo](http://www.herdeztraditions.com/bufalo-products/bufalo-salsa-picante-clasica-hot-sauce/)? Or was the bottle more of a squat pyramid shape? ---

Could it have been an antique hot sauce bottle like [these?](https://thephiladelphiapepperproject.wordpress.com/tag/antique-pepper-sauce-bottles/) The green one in the first picture, and the clear ones from Durkee a little ways down? ---

No, it was a modern commercially produced thing. Thanks though. ---

I looked here: [http://www.pepperpalace.com/](http://www.pepperpalace.com/) … but didn’t see any bottles that matched. I did find this, which sounds scary.

Lucille’s has a “Wall Of Fire” not a “Wall Of Flame”, it turns out. [Not even sure this is a Lucille’s, but 2nd shelf down, 2nd bottle from the left, front row of that shelf appears to be a small pyramid shaped bottle](http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/07/c5/3c/aa/wall-of-fire-hot-sauces.jpg). It’s very hard to tell for sure because the pic is so small, but if you recognize the location perhaps you could just call them and ask about it. ---

Didn’t find the one I’m looking for, but interesting stuff! I did notice the one called “Yucatan Sunshine”, which looked familiar, so I wonder if maybe it once came in the bottle I saw before. A Google search of that did not find anything. ---
