My family calles me "The Snacker" because all I eat are snacks. I will open a family size bag of chips and eat just one. I survive on snacks and have them with me at all times. My family laughs but when we are out and they start to feel a bit peckish, who do they go to? Me! These are some of my favorite snacks to keep around the house, my purse and car. Yes I have car snacks. If you don't you need to.

I would call myself a WINO for sure. My happy place is Napa and if I could, I would live there. While that is not possible, I try to venture and try new wines whenever I can. I belonged to a few wineries from Napa and Sanoma back in the day and now I have a membership at a local wine shop to explore new wines. I definitely prefer REDS but a nice WHITE wine or BUBBLES are perfect in the summer, or for happy hour!

Las Vegas will happily take your money for a perfectly plated dish and a weak cocktail. But I prefer to eat well, get off the Strip and into the neighborhoods where the aunties, tías and real chefs eat. The best food here is served in strip malls, not on THE strip. This list is for people who care about flavor, portions, and not getting played. No hype. No “VIP experience.” Just bold spice, solid prices, and spots locals go back to every week because they’re that good.

I am crazy for spice, when I was in college I grew 24 pepper plants of 6 different varieties one year, and I've tried to grow at least one new variety every year. I love trying and making new hot sauces. I enjoy sweeter (and hotter) hot sauces, so keep in mind my spice tolerance is on the high side and if you like salty hot sauces this list might not work for you. I keep a spreadsheet of all the hot sauces I try and how I liked them, how hot I thought they were, and what other flavors they have.
