Jalapeno? HELL-apeno!
A few weeks ago, co-worker Kelvin introduced us to an ‘off-the-menu’ item at a local Mexican restaurant – The “chile-toreales” (or something like that – translated, it supposedly means “Hair of the Bull”) is a simple dish – a grilled jalapeno pepper. After watching co-worker Jodey have 2 near-death experiences, and Kelvin break into an sweat the moment it entered his mouth, I tried it myself.
I have never eaten anything hotter, in my life. Period.
Fast-forward to yesterday. One of my co-workers, Scott, bet another one, Kevin, that if he ate one, he’d buy his lunch. Kevin accepted, and I brought my digital camera along for documentation.
Warning: These video files are LARGE. Don’t even try to view them on dial-up.
Video 1 – Before the meal, Kevin was very confident.
Video 2 – Kevin meets the bull.
Go to your local mexican restaurant , and try it for yourself.

My favorite part was how the camera was shaking from your laughing.
Funny stuff.

Yeah, I’m not a great videographer.
The last time we did this, one guy sounded like he had instantly developed Tourettes Syndrome. I’d never heard such a lengthy, yet creative, stream of obscenities in my life.
