Bottom Line: The Ranchero Chilaquiles Bowl from Taco Cabana is not too filling nor does it bring much heat, but it does offer a tasty breakfast item.
Chilaquiles have become all the rage these days. That may be in part because Food Network’s Guy Fieri loves them and has featured the dish several times on his show Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, and it may also be because international cuisine is getting more attention across the country (and the...
Bottom Line: Marie Sharp’s Habanero Pepper Sauce and Melinda’s Original Habanero XXXtra Hot Sauce have similar ingredients and similar tastes, and both should satisfy lovers of habanero sauce
You may have noticed that the bottles of Melinda’s hot sauces are starting to show up everywhere these days, and that is because the company has worked its way to the Number 2 hot sauce brand in the country. But there is another hot sauce brand out...
Bottom Line: The Fiery Buffalo Royal Crispy Wrap from Burger King brings some heat, but it is pretty messy as well.
Burger King has added another spicy selection to its line of Royal Crispy Wraps with the Fiery Buffalo wrap. I previously reviewed the first spicy version that they put out (which is still on the menu), and you can read my thoughts on that here. Following is the official description of the new Buffalo version:
The new Fiery Buffalo...
The snack industry continues to spice up the munchies it sends to the shelves because apparently the burn brings the bucks these days. But how many of these selections are really all that spicy? Here is a look at three offerings I have sampled lately with my assessment of their heat levels: Cheetos Flamin’ Hot Tangy Chili Fusion: Cheetos has added yet another item to its Flamin’ Hot line, and I found that I rather enjoyed it. These are the...
Bottom Line: The Savory Chili WcDonald’s Sauce from McDonald’s delivers some sweet heat similar to Korean Gochujang and goes particularly well with the Spicy McChicken.
McDonald’s has a new dipping sauce on the menu, and you may want to give it a try before it returns to Limited-Time-Only-Ville (or turns into another Szechuan Sauce disaster). It is the Savory Chili WcDonald’s Sauce, and it definitely packs some heat. What’s that you...
Bottom Line: The Carolina Reaper Tacos from Dairy Queen deliver some darn good fast food tacos that also bring the heat.
Dairy Queen is one of the oldest fast food chains around, and they are known for their hamburgers and soft serve ice cream, both of which are quite good. But DQ has more to its menu like chicken strips, steak fingers, chicken-fried steak sandwiches, and more. And one of the things they have long had on the menu is tacos,...
Bottom Line: Texas Taco Box makes some first-rate Birria tacos with hot sauce and jalapenos on the side to bring the heat.
Birria is starting to show up on menus on a regular basis these days, and this is a trend that I can really get behind. It is a stew made with beef, lamb, chicken, or goat that is seasoned with dried chilis, garlic, onions, and herbs and spices and it originates from the state of Jalisco. (It’s pronounced bee-ree-ah with a...
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...
