Paqui Has Not Discontinued its Haunted Ghost Pepper Chips
The Haunted Ghost Pepper Chips from Paqui have been hard to find of late and they are not currently showing up on that company's website. This started shortly after a tragic incident when a teenager died after doing the Paqui One Chip Challenge (which is a different and much hotter chip). Apparently, as all the legal implications are getting worked out, the company decided to de-emphasize...
One Pepper X to Rule Them All
Step aside Caroline Reaper, there is now a hotter chili pepper in town. And it comes from the same guy who brought us the Reaper in the first place. Ed Currie of the PuckerButt Pepper Company has just claimed a Guinness World Record for a new chili he cultivated known as Pepper X. That one has an average rating of 2,693,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), which is quite a bit higher than the 1.64 SHU average for the...
Cholula® is well known as the wooden-capped hot sauce that is commonly seen at restaurants and on grocery store shelves, and they offer several variations on their original recipe. But now the company that calls itself the "No. 1 Mexican Hot Sauce in the World" is expanding its line to include salsa and seasonings. They have added three different salsas and three types of seasonings to their product line and you should be able to find these at...
Do you love Mountain Dew? Particularly their Baja Blast flavor? Do you love it so much that you are craving a Baja Blast hot sauce? I'm not certain that many people would have considered that option, but Mountain Dew is indeed putting out a hot sauce based on the popular Baja Blast drink flavor. In celebration of National Hot Sauce Day (which is January 22nd) and in partnership with iBurn hot sauce shop in Houston, this sauce combines the...
One of the most popular fast food joints offering roast beef is spicing things up again. Earlier this year that chain released two Diablo Dare sandwiches for a limited time and now they are giving them another run for the drive thru. Previously, the sandwich options included crispy chicken or brisket, but this time around they are swapping out roast beef for the latter. The meat in the sandwiches is topped with natural cheddar cheese, fiery hot...
Taco Bell is back to its here-today-gone-tomorrow tricks with Nacho Fries returning to the menu for now. And this time they are adding a spicy twist by pairing the Loaded Nacho Fries with TRUFF hot sauce. Here is what those come with:
Golden, crispy Nacho Fries covered in TRUFF sauce, marinated, grilled steak, nacho cheese sauce, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, and reduced-fat sour cream.
They are also offering the Loaded TRUFF Fries Burrito which is...
We have a winner, and it's a classic! Last week, Taco Bell asked people to vote for the return of one of two discontinued items: the Double-Decker Taco or the Enchirito. The votes have been tallied and the latter (which was the one I voted for) will be returning to the menu. The Enchirito is a classic that first appeared on the Bell's menu in 1970. It is a beef and bean burrito covered in a red enchilada sauce and topped with shredded cheese...
Burger King is adding a new spicy item to its menu, and for once chicken is not involved. I'm not sure why poultry is usually the protein of choice to get spiced up at fast food and fast casual places these days, but this time around it is a burger that is getting the heat. The King is kicking up his signature menu item the Whopper with ghost peppers just in time for Halloween. According to ChewBoom, the Ghost Pepper Whopper will have "a...
The Hot Ones™ brand is keeping itself busy and has yet another partner to promote its hot sauce. This past summer they paired up with Pringles releasing multiple flavors based on their sauces (the only one I was able to track down was Los Calientes Verde). Now they have jumped onboard with Shake Shack and that fast-casual restaurant will be adding their sauce to burgers, chicken sandwiches, and fries. Here is what they currently have on the...
