Chicken wings so hot patrons must sign waivers Chicago tavern to serve dish with a bell to summon waiters for help updated 8:02 a.m. PT, Fri., Jan. 4, 2008 CHICAGO - 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.

See dude this is what I told you about, not only is is some bullcrap specially named rare pepper but it is a concentrate. There are places in the Islands that have that waiver form and people still have to go to the hospital sometimes.

I don't understand why.
I like spicy food, but I don't feel the need to prove how macho I am by eating something that will be too hot to actually taste. I went out to lunch yesterday with a friend. We went to a Thai restaurant in Sugar Land (halfway between my home office and his office). For some reason he felt the need to add six Thai peppers to his green curry. He spent most of the lunch drinking water and iced tea so we didn't converse as much during the meal. Mine (red curry) had a decent kick and a nice flavor, and there was no need to augment it.
So, what I'm saying is, "What's the point?" Same thing with wings. I watched college bowl games at a wing place in Houston Saturday before last. I ordered half a dozen wings with my beer in a garlic sauce (one of their "medium" rated wing sauces). Are you really enjoying the wings with their sauce rated at 2,000,000 Scoville Units?
I consider myself a bit of an amateur foodie. I like to taste my food. I'll make my salsa with tabasco peppers instead of jalapeņo because I remove the seeds but still like some heat (I also add black bean, tomato, and mango). I don't understand the "need" to eat something just to say you did (ditto especially with fugu).

My father tends to make the food superhot, which in my opinion only makes the taste worse instead of better. A good balance is what I like the most.

Any chance we could see your salsa recipe?

There is no need to eat stuff that hot, those guys are knuckleheads.
Buffalo Wild Wings on Gray Street? Or on SH 6? I lived in Sugar Land for a year. Try the Salsa at a restaurant called Berry Hill. Plaza is at HWY 59(southwest freeway) and Dairy Ashford. Their Tamales are great too. Tex Mex place.
Don't get me wrong I say augment as well. Tabasco peppers and cayenne peppers have a more desirable taste than Habernero or scotch Bonnet(jamaican) peppers do IMO.

This is why I got so tired of cajun food when I lived in East Texas. They spice it so hard that you can't taste ... the aligator, lizard, nutria-rat, crawdads, carp, turtle, and other crap that they catch and throw in the pot.

No, I was on Westheimer in Houston.
I've been to Berryhill. Cal-Mex doesn't impress me, and they were too expensive for what I received.
My brother does a salsa with habanero, and it is good, but he limits the amount he uses.
