Red Savina peppers: I wonder just how hot they are:
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.
Anyone know how high Red Savina’s score on the Scoville Scale? Ah, as ever, Wikipedia has the answer. 580,000 SHU, only one pepper hotter.
