So, I am in Chicago for business and I love hot wings. I begin the search for the best place near where I am staying and had a hard time finding one since the opinions varied so much. Well, I found the 2001 best hos wing winner, a shop called Jake Melnicks on Superior street...
I did not have much time so I decided on a quick lunch:
Free cab ride
I jumped in the cab at the hotel and told him where I wanted to go, he go slightly upset and said "do you know how long I have been sitting here? 30 minutes" I asked if he wanted me to get out, he said no.
Upon arriving the $5.00 fare was all I had on me and I wanted to tip him well. I handed him my CC and said I will cover the cc fee and a good tip. He immediately said "get out, have a good day" and sped off.
First batch of wings
I ordered the XXX (hotest) wings along with a tasty garlic wing that got second place. While they were hot, they were nod bad at all. The heat stayed with me and the flavor was great
Fast forward to tonight
I decided to have all my co-workers got out to eat at the same place. I though we could have fun with the hot wings and see who could tolerate them. We ordered a bunch of stuff including the XXX wings.
When they arrived you could smell the heat. I had already told everyone I could eat these and to give them a try. A few put a drop of sauce on a fork and immediatly became flushed and were uncomfortable. Laughs all around the table.
My turn, I plowed into one. Hmm, these taste a little different, they are hotter than last time. Maybe they are just fresher. 2nd wing down. Co-worker point at me from across the table and said "You all right?" I had sweat falling off my forehead....3 rd wing...I had enough.
What the hell, had it all set up as look at me eat all of these, and wimped out....
Come to find out, they sent me the wrong wings the first time. These XXX that I had tonight were covered in a sauce made entirely from the Ghost Pepper....
Holy hell......
After cooling down I ate 3 more to say I had 6 of them....they were flavorful which is the only reason I was able to do it....
Talk about karma!
