Taco Bell has once again yanked the fan-favorite Naked Chicken Chalupa from the menu (just short of the opportunity to achieve fast food Nirvana by pairing it with the now-returned Nacho Fries). But that taco-slinging joint keeps adding “new” items to the menu by reshuffling ingredients already in the kitchen to make you think that have come up with something new and wonderful. Two of the latest additions bring the focus to their gordita...
Buffalo Wild Wings is of course known for its wings, and that establishment definitely has some mighty tasty(and hot) wings. But any place frying up one part of the chicken can certainly figure out how to fry up some poultry breast and put it on a sandwich, and that’s big business these days (of course, wings are too). The chicken sandwich is actually nothing new at BWW, they just have a really good deal going right now, and it's worth...
There is chili pepper spicy of which I am obviously am a fan based on the many posts I have put on this site. And there is also wasabi/horseradish spicy of which I am also a lover. (There’s also garlic spicy, and yes, I am a fan of that as well).

But for those across the country who will shortly be seeing that orange and white establishment opening near them, it can be a whole new adventure. Whataburger has been in the Lone Star state since 1950, but now that the chain has been purchased by a Chicago-based company, it will start expanding throughout the...
Almond purveyor Blue Diamond has been selling almonds of all types and flavors for many years and has just recently come out with their Xtremes version. I previously covered the Cayenne and Ghost Pepper flavors here. And now I have managed to locate the Caroline Reaper almonds, so I decided to report on them as well. These are considered the hottest of the Xtremes flavors, getting four out of four flames on the can. And they definitely pack some...
This past week I ordered a sampler pack from that rockin' chicken place Thighstop. What’s that you say? Did I mean Wingstop? No, I got my buffalo chicken from Thighstop! The well-known wing chain is trying something different, and they have opened up “virtual restaurants” that focus on the lower part of the chicken and that are available to order currently online only. Not exactly sure why they have the online limitation because these are...
