hmm.. i don't think they compare at all. iirc, Atomic is a bit hotter than Hooter's 911, which is hot, but not so that you'd die. Probably i'd equate it to about level 2 or maybe a #1.

make sure to order the SPECIAL #2... and bring some Tums.

Other than the challenge, I've never understood ordering the superhot wings. I can handle the heat, but I've found that the hotter the wings got, the more of the flavor is lost until you can't taste anything but the burn.

Sushi and sake overload today: the sushi bar had sort of a sake sampling event... Various sake, shoju, and plum wines... Whew. :sweat:

Feeling rather tired right now. :tired:

i feel the same. it's one thing to have heat, it's another to lose all flavor. not to mention the burning ring of fire later on.

There's that ramen place in Torrance that Triky told me about... I mentioned it a few posts back...

@Bmw: I'll definitely be checking that place out :mrgreen:


My mom and stepdad are down here. They just finished helping me move into my new place with new roommates. My mom wants to eat Chinese. Anyone know of a good place to eat Chinese food? I know my stepdad wants to order some kind of soup along with House Fried Rice and Sweet & Sour pork. My mom prefers to order tofu or some vegetable dishes.
Many thanks :mrgreen:
