Bottom Line: These nuts deliver quite a kick of heat with plenty of flavor and count as a healthier snack choice.
The new year is coming up and people will want to be eating healthier to start off 2022. But we all have our snack cravings and us chiliheads generally like something with a kick when the munchies hit. So an option that steers away from chips and crackers and other processed snacks is nuts. And the good people over at The Peanut Shop...
Bottom Line: Jack delivers a filling and tasty chicken sandwich with a kick that stands up well next to the competition.
The Chicken Sandwich Wars carry on, and Jack-in-the-Box continues to fire salvos in order to fight back the competition from Popeyes, Chick-Fil-A, McDonald’s, and the other fast food joints.

I happen to be a particular fan of Jalapeno potato chips, not just because they are spicy, but because they generally bring good flavor. Ever since opening a bag of Bob's Texas Style Kettle Cooked Potato Chips many years ago (which are sadly hard to find these days, though I have found a good substitute) I have been hooked on the...
Bottom Line: This hot sauce/salsa hybrid delivers a tangy kick that is quite tasty and addictive.
Rustlin’ Rob’s Gourmet Foods in Fredericksburg, Texas is a Mecca for hot sauce lovers and you can sample almost every item they have for sale (and I explore that establishment in more detail here).
