It's so bad, you know it's good
Die-hard Bears fans have a weekend to recuperate from what’s so far been a lackluster season, and I have a sure-fire recipe to kick-start their team spirit: pop in some VHS highlight tapes from ’85, and kick back with a big bowl of tortilla chips and Mike Ditka’s Hall of Fame Salsa. The label alone is inspiring, featuring Da Coach himself, glowering from under the brim of a giant sombrero.
This stuff’s made in Downers Grove (Downers Grove?), but don’t worry – the recipe was “born in Mexico over 100 years ago.” Honestly, it’s not bad. I’ve got a mean cold, so I chose the !Hot! variety; a combo of habanero and serrano peppers delivered on that promise.
Even better, I got mine BOGO at Jewel on Ashland and Wellington this week. And if you’ve got a soft spot for football vets, you’ll be glad to know a portion of the proceeds benefit the Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund, a charity near and dear to Ditka’s heart.
