Driving to Buffalo Wild Wings, I kept thinking to myself, “There are a million places I would rather eat right now.” This isn’t because I don’t like the restaurant because I do. The problem was that I was actually nervous to try their Blazin’ Wings. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I was actually worried that they would be too hot and they would make me sick. My heart started pounding as I imagined the chemical burns that were ready to scar my face.
But I knew that I had to press on; after all, I had to show the world that Star Wars sucks but I knew that without defeating the Blazin’ Wings, I would be no match for the Deathstar.
Blazin' wings!
These are the Blazin’ Wings. According to Answers.com (truly, a trusted source), the Blazin’ Wings are rated at “200,000 – 350,000 scoville units. Which is about 70 times hotter than a Jalapeno.”
While this may sound incredibly hot, one must keep in mind that the Scoville Scale reaches up to 16,000,000 but it just so happens that food that hot will literally kill you.
At one time, Buffalo Wild Wings had the “Blazin’ Wings Challenge” where competitors would have to eat 12 Blazin’ Wings in under six minutes in order to get a T-shirt. It was my plan to take on the Blazin’ Wings Challenge, but they unfortunately no longer have it, so I decided to just go with six Blazin’ wings and I further decided to time myself just to see how fast I could power through the wings.
Prepared to tackle the Blazin' Wings
Here I am prepared to tackle these wings. Note that for this phase of the challenge, I’ve decided to channel my inner Superman in order to tackle these wings. As many noted, water actually makes hot wings more intense, so I decided to “steel” myself for this challenge. Get it? Man of Steel? Nevermind. We’ll just get to the pics.
Bite #1
This picture doesn't show it, but I like the taste of the wings.
One more left!
CHOKING . . . FROM . . . HEAT!
I've got it!
Finished, but I feel sad.
And so, the Blazin’ Wings were dominated. My finished time was 1:15. That’s right, I destroyed those wings! And next week, I will face the ultimate challenge . . . the Deathstar.
I think you’re gonna have a reverse Death Star thing goin’ on pretty soon. You’re gonna be firing proton torpedoes out of your exhaust vent. And it’ll feel like you’re about to explode.
Cody, I keep telling you, don’t try to destroy the Death Star! Every step you take farther along this path is making you more and more like Luke. At least try to be Lando instead.
Who went with you for that trip?
this is some pretty short training. These Death Star names must be poorly named, This place doesn’t even have Kryptonite wings?
Ross – Thad went with me.
Joe – I’ve thought of going to other hot wings places in order to train more, but after only two days of training, I’m already tired of how sick it makes me. It’s now or never.
Curse you and your access to spicy pieces of poultry! Now I’m hungry. =<
