Snikiddy Baked Fries: Gluten Free (Classic Ketchup Flavor)
Here’s the deal. Because of this gluten free thing I’ve tried to keep my eyes open for new tasty snacks which meet dietary restrictions. In the crunchies category there are tons of corn/tortilla, or sweet potato chips out there. Very few however aspire to have flavors beyond the base ingredients. The Snikiddy Baked Fries are […]
Asian Gourmet Rice Crackers (Sesame): Gluten Free
When my girlfriend switched to gluten free it caused a reassessment in what to buy when we snack together. A happy discovery was rice crackers. Lately I’ve enjoyed the Asian Gourmet Rice Crackers (Sesame) (another good brand is the ubiquitous KA-ME). They’re baked and low in fat. The packet was only $1.79 for a 3.5 […]
Utz Kettle Classics Sweet Potato Chips
Utz Sweet Potato chips are a welcome addition to my snacking arsenal. They’re kettle cooked which seems practically mandatory for all chips these days. It’s a trend I can get behind. They have a pleasant crunch but not as much crunch as kettle cooked potato chips. The sweetness from the sweet potato provides a perfect […]
Updated: Dine In Brooklyn / Brooklyn Restaurant Week: Bogota Latin Bistro
As mentioned, it’s currently Dine in Brooklyn 2012/Restaurant week. My girlfriend and I checked out Bogota Latin Bistro in northern Park Slope. We chose the restaurant because they prominently offer a couple of Gluten Free and Vegan options, plus I love Latin food. We caught happy hour and had some excellent mojitos which were clearly […]

Archer Farms Sweet & Spicy Thai-Style Chile Potato Chips (Target Store Brand)
These chips are amazing. If there was an award for potato chips of the year, they would go to the Archer Farms Sweet & Spicy Thai-Style Chile Potato Chips. They’re kettle cooked which means they have a more satisfying crunch than standard issue chips. There is a wonderful tanginess complemented with a slight burn from […]
Snack #14: Haldiram’s Kashmiri Mixture
I was very excited to try the Haldiram’s Kashmiri Mixture because I’d never seen it before. Flavor: The Kashmiri Mixture is much spicier than Khatta Meetha or their Plain Bhujia offerings. The mix features a few unique ingredients. The potato sticks are small and slender but provide some nice crunch and variety from the more […]
Snack #13: Xochitl Totopos de Maiz Blue Corn
I have a new favorite tortilla chip, Xochitl Totopos de Maiz Blue Corn. Pronounced like “so cheel,” the flavor is unlike any other I’ve had from a store. They taste just like the ones you get in a Mexican restaurant. They’re softer and less dense than other chips. Like Cheetos you can also eat quite […]
Snack #12: Voskos Greek Yogurt
The Greek Yogurt trend is one I can get behind. Every week there seems to be a new company selling their version, even Yoplait (which I don’t recommend). Ben and Jerry’s (Vermont) is even debuting 4 Frozen Greek Yogurt flavors. I can say with some pride that New York has become something of a regional […]
Snack #11: Haldiram’s Khatta Meetha
I’ve previously written about Haldirams here, here and here. The flavors I buy most frequently are the plain Bhujia, Aloo Bhujia. The other flavor I buy whenever possible is called Khatta Meetha. It’s always exciting to find it at Punjabi Deli because it’s a little rarer. It’s described as a “Sweet & Spicy blend” on […]
