Where Fire Meets Flavor: Covering Foods That Bring the Heat!

Review: Popeyes Spicy Cajun Flounder Sandwich

Bottom Line:  Popeyes Spicy Cajun Flounder Sandwich is a hefty fish sammy that delivers good taste with a kick of spice as well. Popeyes has a new spicy sandwich on the menu and it is a variation of the Cajun Flounder sammy that they introduced last year. So I am taking a look back at that review and updating it for this year's spicy addition. This sandwich reels in a flounder filet that is dipped in breading full of Cajun-spiced seasonings and...

Quick Review: Flamin’ Hot Cool Ranch Doritos

Bottom Line: The two flavors in Flamin’ Hot Cool Ranch Doritos compliment each other and deliver a snack with some heat. Doritos is at it again, adding another twist on their Flamin’ Hot chips by pairing it up with Cool Ranch which is a flavor you can find by itself on the shelves. Those that have been following this blog know that I am no particular fan of the Flamin’ Hot flavor as I find it to be overly sour with not enough heat or taste...

Review: Taco Bell Chipotle Cantina Crispy Chicken Taco and Flamin’ Hot Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Taco

Bottom Line: Both of these tacos are good rehashes of mostly previously used ingredients,but they don’t bring much heat. Taco Bell is spinning the menu dial again, mixing and shuffling menu ingredients to come up with something “new”. But at least this time there is more new than with some of their past menu rehashes. The Chipotle Cantina Crispy Chicken Taco reuses the relatively new crispy chicken tender so it is not a complete retread....

Review: Spicy Lover’s Double Pepperoni Pizza from Pizza Hut

Bottom Line: The Spicy Lover’s Double Pepperoni Pizza delivers a nice twist on a Pizza Hut favorite along with a bit of a kick. Just in time for the Super Bowl, Pizza Hut has come up with a spicy new twist on their classic pie that should interest those that like some heat added to their slice. The Hut has tinkered with spicy recipes in the past, but apart from the option to add jalapenos to your pie, they have not had much on the regular menu...

Salsa Finds: Dried Chile Salsa from American Spoon

Bottom Line: This is definitely pricey, but it delivers a smoky kick and I consider it among the champagne of salsas. There are lots of salsas out there on the store shelves, many of them quite reasonably priced. And even the cheap ones are not that bad, especially if you make modifications of your own to pick up the flavor. And you can make salsa yourself pretty darn easily (like this recipe) without spending a lot of money. So it takes a lot...

Review: The Hot Chick from Dog Haus

Bottom Line: This is one big and tasty Nashville Hot Sandwich that delivers a kick and will certainly fill you up. Are you looking for a good Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich? Then you should go to the Dog Haus. No, not the one in your backyard where Rover seeks shade from the sun and hides from the rain. You need to find the nearest Dog Haus Biergarten where they serve gourmet burgers and dogs and some tasty chicken sammies along with a nice...
