What's a good pepper somewhere between serranos and habaneros

Red thai chilies can be found at most grocery stores in my experience

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for them.

Cayennes aren't very good fresh, they make far better dried flakes. They're flesh is too thin, but yeah, you're gonna have a tough time finding fresh

That's a difficult question.

Serrano is a more abrupt heat.
Cayenne has heat on the back end.

If you're looking to fix the difference, then it sounds like you want to incorporate two peppers into your food. One that has an abrupt heat, then a taper, and again heat on the back end. This can be accomplished by mixing fresh and smoked chilies together. The fresh chilies will give the initial heat and dissipate, while the smoked chilies will give that heat a second wind to stir things back up again.

If you're looking for a single pepper, Jalapeno or Poblano are your best bets. If you're looking to mix two different peppers, then I would recommend a fresh Jalapeno and a powdered chili like cayenne or arbol for the back end heat.

Where should I be looking for a better selection of chilies? My local grocery stores only carry 2 or 3 types.

Probably amazon if you don't have access to a store which provides a wide selection of non-native chilies. Although you'll only find a dry selection. Alternatively, if your climate can sustain the chili of your choice, then just order seeds and cultivate them yourself. You probably won't see production for at least a year, but it's better than not having access to them at all.

On the back of that comment, if you have a Home Depot near by, they've recently started carrying mature pepper plants that you won't typically find in your local markets; in my area at least. It might be worth a trip to check out their garden isle and see what they have to offer.
