Turn Up The Heat! Spicy Foods Can Be Good For You

Do you like your food to have a little extra kick? Eating foods that are spicy not only adds a delicious flavor boost, but they can actually be healthy for you too. Ordering one of the spicier items off of our Des Moines restaurant menu could offer the following benefits. Wobbly Boots BBQ is here to make sure you are fed, and fed well.  



Stress Relief

Endorphins are released in your body when you consume spicy food. These "feel-good" hormones are like a natural pain medication, they can reduce anxiety, and even ease the effects of depression.  


Heart Health

"Bad" cholesterol can cause damage to a person's body, but eating chili peppers can lower the risk of this by increasing the breakdown rate of this type of cholesterol. Blood flow is also increased, improving heart function and lowering blood pressure.

Weight Loss

Peppers contain a spicy chemical called capasaicin which is great for boosting your metabolism. The effects can last up to 20 minutes after you have eaten. Foods with a little extra heat can also help you to feel full, which reduces cravings for salty, sweet, and fatty foods. 


Eases Congestion

We have all eaten hot foods before that cause us to begin sniffling. This is because spicy items thin mucus, which is perfect when you have clogged nasal passages. The heat can even help with respiratory problems like bronchitis and asthma.  

Cancer Prevention

The American Association for Cancer Research has stated that the capasaicin in peppers has the ability to kill some cancer and leukemic cells. It creates a reaction that lowers the risk of tumors too. 




Spicy Menu Items at the Boot

In addition to the best BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks, you will also find a few spicy items mixed into our incredible menu. 

Texas Fries
Our seasoned curly fries are smothered in spicy queso cheese, then topped with bacon, green onions, and cheddar-jack cheese. For an extra kick, we throw on a side of jalapenos. 

6-Pepper Steak Po' Boy
Thin-shaved, smoked prime rib and melted Swill cheese are the base, then we add our zesty 6-pepper sauce.

Hot Cheesy Stripper
Chicken tenders, either grilled or breaded, are placed on a hoagie roll along with melted provolone cheese. The heat comes from the hot chipotle sauce that we toss the chicken in. 

El Diablo Burger
A real mouth-burner! This black Angus burger is topped with ghost pepper cheese, bacon, jalapenos, and our zesty 6-pepper sauce.
