Carter and Nick are all about EXTRA EXTRA.

We’re the (married) guys behind EXTRA EXTRA Chili Crunch — an upstart condiment brand out of San Francisco, California.

We started making our own chili crunch because we were frustrated with chili crunches that skimped on the actual crunch or left us with a bunch of oil when all the “good stuff” was eaten.

After a long (and occasionally painful) period of research and development — yes, Carter did accidentally and frequently pepper-spray himself for the cause — we created something we started craving.

EXTRA EXTRA gives us what we want: a bold, unapologetic small batch condiment we eat with every meal.

For many months, we got a lot of joy sharing our chili crunch with our friends. Thanks to their help, we realized we might actually be onto something when they kept asking us for refills.

And that’s how it started.

We want you to

be all about it too.

We’re emphatic about…

Extra. Always.

As much as we can, always. More garlic. More spice. More crunch. Nothing average. Everything is a full send.

Crunch-to-Oil Ratio

Every spoonful should give as much of the good stuff as possible. You not going to be left feeling cheated with cheap oil.

A Californian Take

We’re Californian, and our flavors should tell you. EXTRA EXTRA is transparently and unapologetically western.

Deseeded Peppers for Maximum Texture

Seeds get leathery. They ruin the natural crunch of the peppers you’re paying for. We painstakingly de-seed all our peppers.

It Should be Fun

It’s a condiment. It’s not that serious. We have fun when we make every edition.

Avocado Oil

High quality oil matters. We don’t use cheap oils like grape or canola. EXTRA EXTRA uses rich, thick avocado oil from CA.
