Wing Wars is this Saturday, and everyone is gearing up for the big event by trying new sauces and wings. I took this 'preparation' to a new level by trying the Euthanasia Hot Sauce from AJ Cafe.

John was in from AJ Cafe to give us a taste of the chicken wings he plans on bringing to Wing Wars. In addition to the wings, he brought a variety of sauces like classic Buffalo, garlic parmesan, and of course the euthanasia sauce.

The euthanasia sauce is made with everything hot, including the hottest pepper in the world. No, it's not the ghost pepper, it's even hotter than that. The Carolina Reaper Pepper is what makes up this sauce, and John grows his own. Before I even saw this sauce, he told me if I get it on my fingers or hands I have to wash it off immediately or it could lead to a bad time.

I followed his directions, dipped a knife in the sauce, and after eating it I immediately I began suffering the consequences. I started chugging milk and eating crackers as soon as I could get my hands on them.  The heat lingered in my mouth for a good 30 minutes.

I guess what they say is true: if you can't handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen...but definitely come to Wing Wars.
