Buckles by David Gilbert for March 14, 2025

Chili today…..but hot tamale.

Buckles: " can I have some kibble"

I’m waiting for the second review on the way out. I rate it somewhere between “bear spray” and “Lord, take me now”.

And I thought Buckles was the Drama Queen.

The Hazmat Team is on it’s way!

Where’s the beads of sweat at, Paul?

2nd panel, Buckle’s still does that better.

That should have given Paul a clue that his chili is too hot.

Years back I went on a road trip with some buddies. We stopped at a bar we knew nothing about. I have always like spicy/hot food. I ordered wings and said give me the hottest sauce they had. He asked are you sure about that? I thought that was a little strange but said yes. What I didn’t know this bar had a reputation for the hottest wing sauces around and few if anybody chose the hottest one they had, lol. They brought the wings out and just smelling them almost made me sweat, lol. This was such a rare event the cook even came over to see me eat them. Being with my buddies I couldn’t back down from eating them. I ate them, turning red, sweating, eyes watering, chugging beer. It took a couple of days for me and my mouth to return to normal, lol.

What did he use, Carolina Reapers?

That’s not food. That’s torture. Pass

I like spicy chili, but not have my mouth get nuked on the first bite.
