What stands out

D Magazine highlights smoky-sweet seasoning as well as heat, and gives the creamed corn a nod when available.

Before you go

The writers warn that the hottest levels are severe. Ask about a sample before committing to a high spice level.

A small sourced sample, not a score, a full consensus, or a personal visit by 42 SPOTS. Older observations may not reflect today.
