YouTube: L.A. Beast Ghost Pepper Altoids; Lays Canada; Hatch Chiles

Missed any of my YouTube videos in the past few weeks? I've tried some unique Lay's chips only sold in Canada, eaten some ghost pepper Altoids, and overloaded on Hatch New Mexico green chiles. So at least I've only been partially stupid for a change.

Fukuya

Fukuya is a Japanese deli in Honolulu, Hawaii. On a short trip home, I somehow made this one of my first stops after getting off the plane. I had been here many times growing up in the 808, but only reviewed this place now. Yup, I'm slacking.

YouTube: Worm Larvets, Twinkies, Carolina Reapers

It's been a bizarre last few weeks of videos. I started a few new shows for my channel, but the collabs with other great YouTube personalities remain my priority to increase that web presence. A couple weeks ago, I joined forces with Chuck from the Bronx.

Mmm...worm larvets
