Bottom Line: The Fiery Big Fish Sandwich from Burger King is a tasty and hefty fast food seafood offering that also brings a nice kick.
Fish is on the menu again. And it will be again and again for a while, and that’s a good thing. It is Lent Season when fish and seafood tend to be more plentiful at restaurants (especially fast food joints), and as a lover of a good fish sandwich, I really enjoy this season. Last week, I tried the Spicy Jack...
Bottom Line: Ba Nam Cali Super Hot Chili Garlic in Oil is the best of three substitutes I tried for Huy Fong’s Chili Garlic Sauce and Sambal.
Huy Fong’s Sriracha Sauce is finally starting to show back up in the stores after a shortage of a couple of years due to a drought in the area where their chili peppers are grown and other factors. But still rather sparse are bottles of the Chili Garlic Sauce and Sambal, both of which are favorites of...
Bottom Line: The Spicy Fish Jack Wrap from Jack in the Box delivers a good fast food seafood offering, but it is lacking on the heat.
Lent Season is upon us, and that means that seafood is on the menu! Since Catholics abstain from meat on Fridays this time of year, fish sandwiches are popping up at most fast food joints. And since I am a particular lover of a good fish sandwich (I consider the Filet-O-Fish from McDonald’s to be an all-time...

Bottom Line: The Hot Honey Double Pepperoni Pizza from Pizza Hut could use more honey, but the wings are quite tasty and bring a nice kick.
Just a few years ago, hot honey was nothing more than a novelty. You might see it in a few gourmet shops or some sites online, but it was unlikely you would find it at your local market. But since then, it has become quite the trendy item with Mike’s Hot Honey leading the charge. It is basically just honey...
Bottom Line: The Shredded Chicken Crunchy Tacos from El Pollo Loco deliver some tasty tacos that pair up perfectly with their spicy Salsa Roja.

Marco's offered the Hot Honey Pepperoni Magnifico last year, and now Pizza Hut appears to be following their lead with two new items. Just in time for the big game day, they have added the Hot Honey Double Pepperoni Pizza and Hot Honey Wings to the menu. The former...
Bottom Line: The Smoked Brisket Tacos from Taco Cabana deliver some good, Texas-style beef that you can kick up with their fresh salsa bar.
In Texas, brisket is king when it comes to barbeque and smoking meats. Across the state, you will find many establishments that are proud of their brisket, and you will find some pretty tasty beef as well. Texas-based Mexican food chain Taco Cabana previously tapped into that by smoking up some brisket Lone...
Bottom Line: Cheetos Flamin’ Hot Pretzels and Zapp’s Voodoo Pretzels offer two of the newest kicked-up pretzel entries on the market.
Pretzels appear to be all the rage with the snack industry these days as they are popping up on the shelves in all sorts of varieties of late. And that’s not a bad thing because they offer a slightly healthier snack option seeing as they are not fried, though they do pack in a fair amount of carbs. But I am...
