Yesterday we had dinner at Hooters to celebrate my good friend's bachelor's party. Hooters, as we all know, is the great american sports restaurant well known for its chicken wings. I had a choice of medium, hot or 3-mile. I picked hot, since I figured this is Singapore, so hot should be pretty hot, for me at least. Turns out that hot is really only "mild" by my standards. Sheesh..... No kick at all! That got me wondering: why is the last category called 3-mile? It was only a few minutes ago that I recalled what 3-mile is. 3-mile island is the large nuclear reactor in North America, where there was some nuclear accident some years back. Ah, it must have been pretty hot in there!
That just gets me thinking about another chicken wing place, University Chicken in Santa Clara. University Chicken, also known as UC (not to be confused with the real UC) serves chicken wings coated in spicy habenero sauce. There are multiple grades of spicyness (10 i think?) with the hottest called "global thermonuclear". I tried the second hottest, thermonuclear, and it was so hot i couldnt get past the first one! Wonder how anybody can finish a plate of the hottest one....
Habenero just reminds me of the time when JM and Rory challenged me to finish that Habenero in the ASCE office. That just cracks me up! Ines totally freaked out man....
