Fatdogs Challenge

Tucson, AZ

At the Food Court in the Tucson Mall, there resides an eatery called Fat Dogs. They specialize in hot dogs of all types, and in particular, Sonoran Dogs, which is Tucson's Version of the hotdog. They also have something called the Atomic Challenge, which is what the man in the green shirt (one of the owners), is holding. It consists of one large hotdog which is the equivalent of 4 reg hot dogs, topped off with an "atomic sauce", which consists of 10 habaneros and a 1 million Scoville extract to spice things up a bit more. Myself, two of my coworkers (on the left) and my oldest son (right) decided to split one to see how intense it was before trying the challenge at a later date. We all finished our portions, and are going to try the challenge at a later date (except my son). Oh, you can't drink or use a napkin when you do the challenge, but they do provide you gloves... I do have to say that the atomic sauce is pretty darn hot and it will be an interesting challenge...Oh, 1million scoville is 200x hotter than a Jalapeno in case you are not up on the Scoville scale ;)

Nice composition of this intensely hot challenge. Wishing you all good luck and be close to the hospital. Be prepared for the revenge of the later hours or the next day. :-) V

Wow! I hate spicy food. I would end up in the hospital. :) Good luck to you Scott, when and if you try the whole one. A terrific candid photo. V

Do the cups actually contain coke acceleration or leche?
Good luck on the challenge, Scott!
