ZINDREW Chili Oil Review: OG Batch
ZINDREW’s OG Batch packs 80% solids, deep umami from MSG and flavor boosters, and more heat than its mild label suggests. GREAT tier.
Fusion American
Sauce Up NYC Garlic Chip Comparison
Sauce Up NYC’s two Garlic Chip varieties look identical but deliver different flavor directions. The Original stays neutral, the Chipotle commits to cumin and smoke. Both GOOD.
Momofuku Chili Crunch Batch Comparison
Same ingredient list, same order, different batch. The newer Momofuku Chili Crunch (yellow lid) tastes less sweet and more balanced. Phil opens both jars side by side.
Sauce Up NYC Garlic Chip Chili Sauce Review
Sauce Up NYC’s Garlic Chip Original is garlic granola in a jar — huge fried chips, wildflower honey, almost no heat. Fun, crunchy, and surprisingly versatile.
Momofuku Chili Crunch New Batch
Momofuku shipped a new batch with a yellow lid. The honey butter is still there, but the sweetness stepped back — and the whole jar is better for it. Tier: GOOD.
Chile Crunch Review
Chile Crunch Original delivers incredible crunch from just five ingredients — but the flavor stops at fried garlic and onion. Full review and tier.
Redbloom Aroma Chili Crisp Review
Redbloom Aroma is a gut-healthy chili crisp with excellent oil, layered aromatics, and zero crunch. A GOOD jar for flavor seekers with sensitive stomachs.
Redbloom Umami Chili Crisp Review
Redbloom’s Umami gut-healthy chili crisp has excellent infused oil but chewy bits, no crunch, and no real umami. Full review and tier.
Red Clay Southern Chili Crisp Review
A peanut oil-based chili crisp from South Carolina with Fresno chilies, turbinado sugar, and big peanut chunks. Sweet, salty, and unapologetically Southern.
Sauce Up Extra Spicy Chili Crisp Review
Sauce Up NYC Extra Spicy chili crisp review — same grapeseed oil formula as the Original, with a slow-building cayenne burn that takes over. GOOD tier.
