Bottom Line: The Scorpion Gourmet Burger from Red Robin delivers a big and beefy burger that also brings some heat.
There are lots of places that you can go for a good hamburger, from an old-fashioned diner to a casual sit-down restaurant to a high-end establishment that will charge you twenty bucks or more for your ground beef on a bun. But when I am in the mood for a really good burger, along with an ice-cold brew, one of my go-to places is...
These Spicy Sriracha pumpkin seeds are a great snack with a kick and they are easy to make.

1 to 2 Tablespoons Habanero Hot Sauce

Bottom Line: The Organic Sriracha from Sprouts brings a little more heat and sweetness than the Huy Fong sauce, but still acts as a good substitute while that one is absent from the shelves.
There’s still little to no Huy Fong Sriracha on the shelves, and it doesn’t look like the shortage will end anytime soon. I talk about what is going on with that company in more detail here, and people are looking for bottles of sauce they can substitute...
Bottom Line: The BK Royal Crispy Wraps from Burger King should make fans of the discontinued McDonald’s wrap happy, and the spicy version delivers a kick.
Snack wraps were once a popular--and slightly more healthy--option from McDonald’s that you could find on their menu from 2006 to 2016. These consisted of several variations of a chicken tender wrapped in a tortilla, and despite the fact that they were well-liked by customers, the chain...

Bottom Line: Calabrian chili peppers pack some heat and bring plenty of flavor and they work very well with Italian cuisine.
In the United States, jalapeno and serrano chili peppers are well-known and easy to find in most produce markets. The hotter pods like Thai chilis, habaneros, and ghost peppers are also familiar and you can track those down without too much difficulty. But there are some chilis that are not as common here in the States,...
Bottom Line: The Jalapeno Cheddar Biscuit Sandwich from Whataburger delivers a good, country-style breakfast on the go with a bit of a kick.
Breakfast has been on the menu lately as more and more of the chains have been adding morning items that bring some kick. Texas hamburger slinger Whataburger is no stranger to starting off the day with some spice as they have previously offered items like the Spicy Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit, and a staple...
The Grilled Cheese Dipping Taco from Taco Bell does not bring much heat and it is rather messy, but it is quite good and a nice change of pace for this establishment.
We all know the deal with Taco Bell. They have a set number of ingredients in the kitchen for their standard menu items and on a regular basis they spin those around and maybe throw in one or two add-ons to come up with the latest “new” item. But once in a while, The Bell...
There are lots of ways to top your pizza, from the old standards like pepperoni and sausage to the somewhat controversial ham and pineapple to the fancy add-ons like lamb and goat cheese. But once you get your finished pie, you may have a desire to kick it up with some heat. Ordering jalapenos or other chilis as a topping for your pizza is one option, but many of us like to go the condiment route and add some red pepper flakes or hot sauce or...
Bottom Line: The Buffalo Chicken Dip Bites from Sonic don't deliver much heat, but they offer a tasty and fun snack with a bit of a zing.
I haven’t done any reviews of items from Sonic on this site up until now because . . . well . . . they don’t have too much in the way of spicy offerings on their menu apart from the occasional limited-time-only selections. They cook up a decent fast food burger, and if you add jalapenos it has a nice kick....
