The 4 Horsemen Burger

     My whole life, I never ate spicy foods other than Flamin' Hot Cheeto's. While visiting friends in San Antonio, they decided to try the "4 Horsemen Burger". This burger is known to be one, if not the hottest, burgers in the world. The burger includes jalapeno, serrano, bhut jolokia (ghost chile), and habanero peppers. 


     A quick history behind the " bhut jolokia (ghost chile)" tells us that it is the hottest known pepper in the world and is even included in the World Guinness book of Records as being 401.5 times hotter than Tabasco Sauce. 


     In order to obtain this burger, one must sign a waiver before ordering and put on latex gloves while eating it; people eating the burger are also provided a glass of milk. The prerequisites alone are enough to make challengers back away. 


     The most any of my friends were able to stand were 3 bites before they couldn't stand the intensity of the burger. I was only able to eat 1 bite and I can tell you, one bite is all you need. 


     After eating this burger, I felt I could eat any kind of spicy food out there and I was right. Nothing even comes close to this burger and I am now addicted to adding a bit of spice to everything. 


     If you're in San Antonio , Texas and are brave enough to try and conquer this beast, go right ahead and let me know how it goes! Visit Chunky's Burgers and give it a whirl.
