I’m starting to get that happy nervousness in my stomach (No, it’s not $1 draft night)… March Madness is right around the corner!!! I’ll be filling out my brackets soon, stocking up on some great local brews and tasty snacks. Actually, I’ve decided I’m going to make all of my own snacks this year. I figured if I bypassed buying snacks at the store it would give me more time to pre-party and obsess over my picks.
I’m a hot sauce guy and my favorite, every day sauce is Sriracha. It’s not the hottest, but it has one of the most original flavors out there. I thought some fresh chips would really work well and taste amazing with some Sriracha Ketchup for that little bit of zing. Enjoy!!!
