Review: I’ve been a strict roasted red pepper hummus guy, but my girlfriend had me pick up some of this great stuff while I was in the vicinity of Whole Foods today. I’m not sure if I will ever go back. Chef Earl’s Jalapeno hummus packs just the right amount of spice with an already great hummus flavor. It leaves your mouth steaming just a little bit so you are forced to go back for more. A bit more expensive than some of the other hummus brands Whole Foods has to offer, Chef Earl’s is all natural and all yum, which makes the extra few quarters worth it. Not to mention, it is a family run business that operates right here in Chicago. If there is one consumer practice I support, it is buying locally and supporting your community businesses.

This brand is the best i have eaten commerically and yes, it tastes home made because it is made in small batches.
I literally visit stores that sell this which is most likely Whole Foods. I am sorry to hear Treasure Island stopped selling it.
The company definately needs to market the product better and expand. My purchases are all the hummus but they also offer other items that are also quite good including salsa and the like.
