In a fun interview on GQ Sports around 11 months ago, Jalen Hurts admitted that going without this particular hot sauce, which costs a mere $6.90 for a 12 oz bottle, is simply a challenge for him. It seems that no matter how high he soars on the field, his taste buds always crave the fiery kick of his favorite condiment.
Eagles QB Can’t Get Enough of Louisiana Hot Sauce
The Eagles QB is in love with the Louisiana hot sauce. The way he described his affection for the condiment during the GQ Sports interview was simply hilarious. Talking about the Lousiana hot sauce, Hurts said,
“One of my big essentials – my hot sauce. Being where I’m from, I mean, we put this on everything. If it’s missing a little piece just put a little Louisiana on there. Not nothing else, I need Louisiana’s. For now, I just throw the hot sauce on whatever I can try and keep it simple.”
Hurts was also reminiscing about the culinary staples of his hometown, which included – Popeye’s fried chicken. Sharing the story with GQ, he said,
“One of my essentials would’ve been Popeye’s, and it is an essential. You know, I grew up eating a two-piece Tuesday special. Every Tuesday, you could get two pieces of chicken, a drum, and a thigh for 99 cents. Brings back so many childhood memories. But now that you know I’m taking things to the next level, in terms of my diet I don’t eat it as much, but every blue moon I gotta get me a two-piece or a three-piece with a red bean, apple pie, grape jelly, lemonade, all that”
While he acknowledged that his dietary choices have evolved because of his career, he doesn’t indulge in fried chicken that often now. However, hurts still keeps his trusty Lousiana hot sauce close.
