Heartbeat Darkside of the Grill is a collaboration with barbecue aficionado Mel Chmilar, aka Darkside of the Grill. Instead of the usual smoky and sticky-sweet barbecue flavors, hot-pot-inspired Szechuan pepper and shiitake mushrooms join fermented habanero and aged cayenne, with Korean pepper paste, for a deeply savory sauce. Heartbeat rates its heat a 6 out of 10.

Mel suggests soaking wings in it or drizzling it over a smoky beef rib; try it on any grilled or smoked meats and vegetables. It contains soy and wheat. Heartbeat Hot Sauce Co. was born at Tomlin restaurant in its hometown of Thunder Bay, Ontario.
