The Source


Did this in college at the beef jerkey outlet in Denham Springs. They put it on a toothpick for you to roll on your tongue. When we vomited we had to sign our names on a 5gal bucket as a sign of defeat. That experience still haunts me.

Thai chiles are the hottest I’ve gone. Red curry paste has plenty of heat for me!

Serranos are probably my normal level of enjoyment.

As a young man, I took a bite of a fresh habanaro. How bad could it be? Right? It literally felt like I bit into the lit end of a cigar. Lesson learned. I think it's something every foodie should do to learn their limit. If someone tells me it's hotter than a habanero, I kindly decline. Try a reaper? Hell no.

That said, there are plenty of sauces made from spicy peppers that aren't nearly as hot as the pepper itself. And some foods, like Thai or Indian hot food at the restaurant don't actually have a reaper in the food but are too hot to eat. It's good to establish your limits by exceeding them. :)

Fire in the hole chicken wings at Pluckers. I couldn’t even taste chicken.

It was a sushi heat challenge. Each piece got exponentially hotter until the level 10 piece. It was topped with some sort of dried ghost pepper salt and had all the other hot peppers grinded into it.

Recently, a marinade from a Dallas local mom and pop retailer called Klown Sauce I use on grilled chicken.

Pizza at Avellino's in Decatur GA, they have quit serving that pizza challenge. It was a ghost pepper pizza challenge my friend talked me into sharing, he had finished an entire pizza there about 2 years prior. I ate 2 slices, he ate 4 and said the version we got was about 3x hotter than the 1st one he finished so we asked the owner what was up and he had started adding GP extract and other to make it more challenging. Worst pizza and hottest food I have eaten and I enjoy really spicy stuff. Not a fan of extract boosted heat levels of naturally incredibly hot peppers whatsoever.

I worked as a line cook at a restaurant in college. The head chef/co-owner loved hot shite, so one day he put a handful of ghost peppers in the food processor and “diluted” it with sriracha. I dipped a french fry into it and was coughing for the next five minutes. A few weeks later, some guy in a cowboy hat came in, wanting the hottest wings we could make him. So we tossed the wings in that sauce. I walked out of the kitchen and took a peek at the old boy sitting at the bar and, to his credit, he was eating them and didn’t appear to be suffering a bit.

We had a crawfish boil on my bachelor party trip and about 5-6 of us offered up money totaling $150ish , give or take $20ish to take a shot of liquid crab boil. One of my friends took the challenge, but he couldn’t swallow it. That’s obviously not a ton of money, but $150ish to take a shot, isn’t terrible.

I don't see the point of eating a hot pepper just as a show of machismo. The spiciest dish I have eaten (barely) was lamb vindaloo, I had the "medium" edition from Swagat recently, that is still a MF.

I was in Thailand for a work trip about a decade ago. They served us a squid soup with a bunch of colorful, diced chilis which honestly looked like one of the best presentations I've ever seen (my grainy picture doesn't do it justice).

All of the non-natives took a slurp at the same time and I was the only one who didn't run away from the table in under 1 minute and violently puke outside the restaurant. However, I could feel Satan's hellfire from my tongue, through my esophagus, down my stomach lining and into my intestines within 30 seconds.

My spine hurt for a good 10 minutes it was so hot.

Participated in wing fest 4-5 years ago at the river center. One booth was serving wings with pure capsaicin on them. My dads fingers swelled up like bananas, can’t imagine that being on the inside.
