About this event
Are you brave enough to beat the heat? We invite heat-lovers and thrill-seekers alike to test their palates against our most potent peppers. Grab your friends, line up at the spice bar, and see who can handle the progression from Jalapeño and Cayenne up through Habanero, Ghost Pepper, and the fiery Carolina Reaper. It’s a fast-paced, sweat-inducing, unforgettable flavor experience. The Heat Progression Lineup: 1. Jalapeño – The crisp, green kickoff. 2. Cayenne – A sharp, classic culinary kick. (Wait for 1 minute) 3. Habanero – Fruity undertones backed by serious sting. (Wait for 1 minute) 4. Ghost Pepper – A slow-building, smoky inferno. (Wait for 1 minute) 5. Carolina Reaper – The final boss. Blistering, record-breaking heat. (Wait for 3 minutes) How does it work? We will prepare 5 pieces of sour dough bread, dipped in gourmet olive oil and coated with the chili powder. You will need to read and sign the waiver/rules of the challenge (NO wiping eyes, NO drinking between levels, NO spitting.) We will time you between bites and supply you with milk when it’s all over! Your Reward: 1. Bragging rights! 2. Receive an “I Beat the Heat!” sticker! 3. Get your picture on our “Challenge Survivor” wall! 4. Receive a $5.00 voucher for a drink downstairs at the El Charro Restaurant! **All Participants will get 10% off their purchases for the day. Good in-store only.
