1. Southwest Tavern
At Southwest Tavern, you will be required to sign an indemnity form before taking on their Spaghetti from Hell Challenge. That’s how serious they are. Within the spaghetti sauce lies some of the world’s spiciest peppers, Trinidad Scorpion Butch T and Bhut Jolokia, that honestly sound really intimidating. Brace yourself and complete the Level 18 plate of spiciness in 10 mins, and you can win 2 towers of Heineken Draught Beer or a $100 dining voucher. The catch? You are not allowed to take a sip of water till you’re done.
