I thought it needed some more hot sauce to kick it up, but pretty good.

As good as restaurant fare! Maybe I'm weird but I think it's best with boiled cabbage with LOTS of hot sauce on everything! LOL.

I used a spicy seasoned salt, but otherwise pretty much followed the recipe. Very Easy & Very Elegant!
