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

Hot Sauce Finds: Torchbearer Sample Pack – Son of Zombie, Garlic Reaper, and Zombie Apocalypse

Bottom Line: The Torchbearer sauces Son of Zombie, Garlic Reaper, and Zombie Apocalypse deliver good taste and plenty of heat but should be used judiciously. Torchbearer is a craft hot sauce company known for making some very hot and very tasty concoctions, and their products have started to become more readily available throughout the country. I have to admit, though, that I have been remiss in trying their sauces even though I have seen them...

Review: Nashville Hot Chikn from Project Pollo

Bottom Line: The plant-based Nashville Hot Chikn sandwich from Project Pollo is rather messy but quite tasty and plenty spicy and it compares well to many of the spicy chicken sandwiches out there. I have been complaining about all the chicken I have been reviewing lately because the restaurant industry seems to think that is the only thing you can add heat to these days (spicy chicken sandwiches, spicy chicken wings, spicy chicken tenders,...

Spicy Snacks: Screamin’ Hot Garden Veggie Straws

Bottom Line: The Screamin’ Hot Garden Veggie Straws from Sensible Portions bring the heat and offer a relatively healthy snack option. Are you still trying to eat healthy this year, or have those New Year’s resolutions already been tossed out with the trash? Well, if you are still keeping an eye on the waistline and if you are looking for a snack that won’t pile on the calories, I have found another spicy option that may satisfy your...

Review: My Hammy Spice from Denny’s

Bottom Line: The My Hammy Spice breakfast sandwich from Denny’s brings just the right amount of kick for a breakfast item and really delivers on the taste. At breakfast time, do you like spicy or not so spicy? Myself, I like to have a little bit of kick with my eggs and sausage and hashbrowns and whatnot, but I am not looking to ignite a fire in my mouth first thing in the morning. Spicy does not necessarily go well with coffee, and I’ve got...

Review: Spicy Slaw KFC Wrap

Bottom Line: The Spicy Slaw KFC Wrap has some assembly challenges and does not deliver too much heat, but it is still quite tasty. And so . . . more chicken. I guess as long as I am reviewing spicy foods from the chains, it will involve a lot of poultry because that’s what they like to kick up. Not that it is a bad thing because I like chicken and it is a leaner protein (less so after being battered and deep fried, though). And my latest...

Review: Progresso Spicy Tomato Soup

Bottom Line: Progresso Spicy Tomato Soup is an excellent version of the soup with plenty of tomatoey richness and a nice kick of heat. It's soup time of year with the weather delivering somewhat of a chill outside and I have been sampling several of the spicy soups available on the store shelves these days. I already slurped down a bowl of Progresso’s Spicy Jambalaya (more on that one here), and next up is their Spicy Tomato Soup. This is a...

Spicy Snacks: Doritos Spicy Nacho Dip

Bottom Line: Doritos Spicy Nacho Dip is pretty good for a canned cheese sauce and it brings a bit of a kick. The big game day is coming up and it is time to start stocking up on snacks to satisfy your munchies while the players are out there fighting for the championship. And if you are looking for snacks that have a kick, there are plenty of options to choose from. (In fact, watch for a post next week with some suggestions.) And if you have...

The Chicken Sandwich Wars: Golden Chick Big & Wicked Sandwich

Bottom Line: The Big & Wicked Sandwich from Golden Chick has a nice kick and plenty of flavor and offers some serious competition to the bigger chicken chains. And so . . . back to chicken. I had over a week of no chicken reviews, but poultry continues to reign among spicy offerings, so I can’t stay away from it too long. There are so many spicy chicken offerings out there, that restaurants are starting to run out of the stuff. Case in...
