Spicy

We like to watch a show on the Travel channel called "Man vs Food". I have no idea when it comes on, but we seem to catch an episode here and there. This guy travels around the country visiting different popular local places. Mainly, though, he hits the places with the big eating challenges. "Eat a 50 pound hamburger and we'll put a picture of you on the wall!" kinda things. It's a pretty fun show. We saw an episode once where he went to Pittsburgh and ate at this place called Primanti's where they load the whole meal onto the sandwich.... meat, cheese, fixins, coleslaw, fries...all between two pieces of bread. You can check it out here. Also, on that episode, he did the " atomic hot wings challenge" from Quaker Steak and Lube. Eat 6 wings that rank at 150,00 on Scoville scale (jalepenos are 4,000). That one you can check out here (the wings start just before 3 minutes in). He did it. He got a bumper sticker. Totally worth it.

Why in the world am I telling you about this? Well, Kendall went to Pittsburgh for work a few weeks ago. Of course, he looked these places up and went for a visit. He got a sandwich at Primanti's and later went over for a plate of wings. Did you watch the video? Well, Kendall chickened out. He didn't try the atomic wings, but he did get the second hottest wings which were 50,000 Scoville units. He's glad he didn't go any hotter. He said everywhere the wings touched his face was burning. An hour later, he rubbed his eye and, apparently had some residue still on his hand, because his eye was burning too! It was Spicy! But super fun to try out these places we had seen on the show. I was proud of Kendall for atleast taking a picture of his food. Here ya have it.
