Best Jalapeno Poppers

BZ's Pizza

Chili, Cheese, Bacon—Deep Fried. Not sure much else needs to be said about this magic trick. BZ's Pizza, on the far eastside, takes fresh jalapeno peppers, stuffs them with their own secret cheese blend, wraps the stuffed chili in bacon, and deep fries it to perfection. The poppers are paired with a house-made ranch and served on a salad of mixed seasonal greens. We have all tried some variation of this appetizer, but BZ's is next-level status. There is nothing like catching one of the spicier, fresh peppers to elevate your endorphins. They come six to an order so make sure you order enough, because these things are habit forming.
