I love chewy foods...the chewier the better...my favorites are:
teriyaki beef jerky
vegetarian beef jerky
grilled tripe
grilled chicken er, gizzards? (korean dakdongjip)
pho w/ tendon
jjolmyun (korean noodles)
taffy
now and laters candy
sugar babies
i also love gnawing on the cartilage from chicken wings, though i'm not sure that quite qualifies as 'chewy'
so what are your favorite chewy foods?

squid, chicken hearts bbq'ed
any cut of meat with i guess "grisly" parts? i don't really know what those are but always enjoy them
agreed on cartilages -- too bad it seems to freak out (sound) most other people
oh! and maybe it's unsafe, but undercooked bacon, or thick cut hungarian bacon -- so chewy so salty

Oh yes- when my dad the butcher would bring home bacon with the skin on we would be chewing on the skin part for most of the morning. The bacon was well cooked, but the slices were thick so the skin remained chewy.

Squid, a good bagel, those cheap 'sour bears' from the drug store, and frozen caramels.
TMJ be damned.

cinnamon bears.
i read some report from last year's all candy expo that they have come out with chewy atomic fireballs and have only spotted them ONE place online. If anyone has a source, hook me up.
we found the caramel apple sugar babies in my super small hometown in NW MN.. nothing in the metro where we live.. so maybe someone has a hoard of chewy fireballs they're willing to share??

as far as chewy atomic fireballs, i think you might mean the gimbal lava balls...be warned, they are extremely hot!

remember kookoo's?
Mike and Ike's are by far my favorite non-chocolate candy. I can't bring em in the house.
A nearby farmer's market used to sell a candied maple smoked salmon that was to die for.....but the guy stopped making it.

I"m exactly the same way with Hot Tamales. Can't bring 'em in and can't eat just one. Ditto on the Tootsie Rolls.

I'm not a huge fan of chewy foods in general, but I do love my bagels, taro cakes, dried figs and tofu skin rolls.

Trader Joes has ginger candy that's wonderfully chewy and hot. I can't get enough of them.

I really like chewy bread. It's probably not pastry perfect, but I love it. Chewy sourdough is the best.
Runner up - saltwater taffy and milk duds

concur with others' picks for sugar babies (sooo much better than daddy!), tootsie rolls (the vanilla minis especially), and hot tamales...
abba zabba (reminds me of my daddy)
fast break
oatmeal cooked w/ LOTS of water and cinnamon til gummy... same done with soy grits
also, barley cooked with lots and lots of water to become gooey and chewy
jarlsberg or gruyere nuked in the micro til just a bit melty and chewy
mini candy bars (esp musketeers) nuked in the micro til they melt and get chewy
shirataki noodles
spicy turkey jerky at whole foods
