Members Thunderbroom Posted January 6, 2008 Members Share Posted January 6, 2008 Snacking on a Wing and a Prayer CHICAGO (Reuters) - A Chicago tavern said on Thursday it will begin selling chicken wings coated in one of the world's hottest peppers -- a dish so hot that patrons first have to sign a waiver agreeing not to sue for injuries. Jake Melnick's Corner Tap said the wings made with Red Savina pepper will be served with an alarm bell for patrons to summon waiters with sour cream, milk sugar and white bread if things get out of hand. Levy Restaurants, which owns the tavern, said its chef d'Cuisine Robin Rosenberg had been working on the concept for years but was never sure he'd be able to serve it. "This isn't the right sauce for everyone, but for someone out there, this is going to be absolute heaven. Of course, for a handful of people, it's going to be hell," he said. From Wikipedia:Samples of Red Savina have been measured as high as 580,000 Scoville units. For comparison, this is twice as hot as a regular habanero pepper (100,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Death Hands Posted January 6, 2008 Members Share Posted January 6, 2008 I'm tempted. I would be, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thunderbroom Posted January 6, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 6, 2008 I would be, as well. My son and I are discussing the possibility. Of course he's just blowing smoke because he got his ass kicked over the holiday by some jalapenos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha, I'm not saying that I'd grip it like a real man, but it'd be interesting, if nothing else, and that's what'd make it worth one try. That sounds ridiculously hot, though. Living where I do, I ended up being a really good friend of this hispanic family, and they had me over for dinner often. I made ten bucks by being the resident white boy and eating a couple of habaneros with some pepper melange from a can. I ran a sinkful of water afterwards and dealt with the ridicule. Haha.

Members Thunderbroom Posted January 6, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 6, 2008 Living where I do, I ended up being a really good friend of this hispanic family, Georgia has changed in the last 20 or so years. I grew up in a small GA town and there were only white folks and black folks. Over the years of visiting my parents since I moved away, I've noticed that many minorities have moved to that same small town. I think it's kinda cool.

Members Brother Mango Posted January 6, 2008 Members Share Posted January 6, 2008 I've been down that road, and it leads to a place that's not fun. Maybe someone else can find something pleasurable in there ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, for the most part, it's just a byproduct of the slow growth most areas here exhibit. I'm amazed that some of the "minorities" that live here choose to. A fair amount of people around use it as an excuse to perform bigotries and the like on a regular basis. There are a few place that have held on tighter than others, though. Hell, some place have barely changed, minus a few new faces and fast food joints. It's quite the cultural scope. It'd be REALLY interesting, if it wasn't so damned hot.

Members Svi Posted January 6, 2008 Members Share Posted January 6, 2008 Yeah. I wonder how it compares to these wings. Dave's is only 50,000 Scoville units and it's pretty darn hot. I think once you get to a point of "hotter than hell" it doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members willsellout Posted January 6, 2008 Members Share Posted January 6, 2008 I'd try it once..I love spicy food, but not just hotness, it has to have flavor. This is why I love Thai food so much.I had the hottest wings ever in a little bar in New London CT. I was actually dizzy they were so hot.

Members Thumper Posted January 6, 2008 Members Share Posted January 6, 2008 I'll pass. I love spicy food, but i just don't see the point of eating something so incendiary that it causes pain. I guess I'm just a wimp... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mytola Posted January 6, 2008 Members Share Posted January 6, 2008 According to Jamie Oliver, you can get high on very spicy food. I'd like to try some, but I'm a bit far away for that. I like spicy food myself, never had a problem with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there for a school at the Coast Guard Academy. It's a bar in the downtown part of it..I don't remember a whole bunch as far as where it was. It was a nice bar, had shuffleboard and some games..that's about all I remember:D Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 82Daion Posted January 6, 2008 Members Share Posted January 6, 2008 My face is getting hot just reading this thread. The hottest wings I've ever had were the Quaker Steak and Lube Atomic Wings. I had one, and that was enough. I can't imagine how hot these are-chemical burns, anyone?

Members Brother Mango Posted January 6, 2008 Members Share Posted January 6, 2008 I've had Dave's Insanity Sauce. That's my limit. I did use it. However ... A former roommate had some Mad Dog http://www.hotsauceworld.com/357maddoghot.html He saw me put an abundance of Mad Dog on a chicken breast, and suggested I rinse it all off and start all over. I gave him the look that said, "silly man, you don't know how tough I am!" He stared back at me and only said, "seriously." I rinsed a little of it off, and the remainder still was too caustic for a second bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
