In my latest roundup of spicy snacks, I have found one chip that really brings the heat and two more snacks that will make you think of pickles (savory and sweet) while you munch. Late July Scorchin’ Sauce Chips: Late July Snacks are made with the “finest organic and Non-GMO ingredients” and they offer a slightly healthier snacking option. The tortilla chips have a rustic, earthy flavor that comes from the natural ingredients, and they...
Bottom Line: While not too spicy, the Pueblo Indian Taco from The Angry Marlin packs in a lot of flavor, especially from the red and green chili, and it is a surprising find on the coast.
When you are along the Gulf Coast of Texas, New Mexican cuisine is not necessarily something you expect to find. Seafood is a common attraction, and the coast definitely delivers on that. Tex-Mex is another staple, and there are plenty of places serving that...
Marco's Pizza Adds Fiery Flavors Menu
Marco's Pizza previously offered the Hot Honey Pepperoni Magnifico for those looking for a spicy pizza pie, and now this summer the expanding chain has added several items to the menu that bring the heat. The new Fiery Flavors Menu is headlined by the Fiery Pepperoni and Fiery Sausage & Peppers pizzas, but it goes beyond that. Here is the rundown of all the offerings as announced in their press...
Bottom Line: The Scotch Bonnet is similar to the Habanero chili, bringing plenty of heat while also delivering good flavor.
We hear a lot about the Habanero, Ghost Pepper (aka Bhut Jolokia), Scorpion Chili, and Carolina Reaper, along with some of the other superhot chilis these days, but one that does not get much mention lately is the Scotch Bonnet. It is similar to the Habanero but originates from the Caribbean and is commonly used there and...
Bottom Line: The Hot Ones selections from Heatonist may be more expensive than other bottles on the shelves, but they count as gourmet hot sauces and they bring the heat.
The classic lineup of Hot Ones hot sauces made by Heatonist is in stores now! I previously mentioned that in my regular Spicy Food News column, and now they are starting to hit the shelves. I’m not certain just how many of the varieties are currently available, but I believe...

Bottom Line: The Big Cheez-It Crunchwrap Supreme and Big Cheez-It Tostada from Taco Bell Deliver a Fun Gimmick, but Not Much Heat.
Taco Bell has something new! No, really! They have added something brand new that is not just a remix of existing ingredients with a new name attached. What is it? Well . . . it’s a . . . giant Cheez-It. No, really. Sixteen times bigger than a regular Cheez-It! And this is not just a new item, it is “Unrivaled...
Bottom Line: The Jalapeno Ranch Salad from Salad and Go is plenty fresh and chock full of vegetables, but it could use more heat.
I have been reviewing a lot of high-calorie items lately like spicy schnitzel, chicken tenders covered in sauce, sausage topped with green chili, and more. So, I decided it was time to eat something lighter and healthier, and as luck would have it, a Salad and Go opened up near me recently. That is a fast food chain...
Bottom Line: The Jalapeno Schnitzel from Schobels Restaurant delivers an excellent and authentic schnitzel that is kicked up with some heat Texas-style.
While driving along the highway, you will see plenty of local diners trying to lure you into their establishment with the temptation of authentic, home-style cooking. And while some of these may be nothing more than tourist traps, quite a number of them are actually quite good and worth...
