What is the concept behind the 10‑level spicy food challenge?
Today I'm cooking 10 levels of spicy food for the world's most dangerous eater. And by the end, he'll have to survive Pepper X, the spiciest pepper on earth that's 600 times hotter than a jalapeno. But we're starting at level one with a bell pepper, which scores a perfect zero on the Scovel scale, the official scale for measuring heat, to make an Indian street snack called Fire Pond. Are you nervous?
Why would I be? I'd be in all the spices food all over the world. I am not scared.
of anything. A leaf? This isn't just a leaf. It does start with a leaf, but it's then layered with a variety of sweet fillings, and in this case some chopped bell pepper, before eventually being topped with shredded coconut and a few drops of peppermint oil.
How does the episode start the challenge with the bell pepper fire snack?
I'm gonna light this on fire and then into your mouth it goes.
Oh my gosh. Oh, the fire should have been a little bit bigger, but it was good. I can taste the bell pepper, sweet, watery, crunching. My mouth feels clean and fresh.
That's your palate cleanser. That's my welcome to what this video is gonna be like. Because you still have to eat a 1 million Scovel White Ghost Pepper, a 2 million Scovel Carolina Reaper, and of course, our 3 million Scovel Pepper X. I'm ready for level two. Before moving on, I do have one gift for you milk. I'm sure we've all played some video game where there's a health bar that slowly goes down as you play. So I want you to think of this milk as your health bar. If you finish this jug of milk before you finish, Finish level 10, you lose. I won't. For level 2, we're moving up to the Shishido Pepper, which scores 100 on the Scoville scale to make some spicy sushi, specifically a dragon roll, the only sushi named after something that breathes fire.
A fun fact about Shoshido peppers is that in Japan, eating them is basically a game, because roughly one in every 10 is secretly hot, and not even scientists can tell just by looking at them. So somewhere in this role, there might be a small surprise waiting for Chef Rush, but Really this level has one job and that's giving him his very first hint of spice, easing him in nice and slow before things get serious. I actually hope he enjoys this one, because it only gets worse from here.
I'll tell you this, best dragon roll I've ever seen.
Well, let's see how it tastes.
Mm. No?
Yeah. I'm getting a small tingle on the tip of my tongue, but that's about it. I love the texture. Creamy on the outside, crunchy on the inside, it's a beautiful presentation. I gotta try the sauce.
I put a little sriracha, a little spicy mayo in there. Cool. Pangy, sweet. Still not hurting you. Nope, you're gonna need to try a lot harder than that. Health bar still at 100%. Bring on the next one. For level three, we're using the jalapeno, which scores 5,000 on the Scoville scale to make what's called a danger dog. These come from Tijuana, Mexico, sold late at night outside stadiums and concerts, and normally the jalapenos only go on top, but mine have also gone inside, ground straight into some homemade sausage. Now I know you're probably wondering how I'm gonna take down Chef Rush with a jalapeno, and that's Thing. I'm not. My only job right now is to wake up his taste buds with something familiar, a pepper we all know and love.
Because pretty soon, he'll be eating things 100, 300, even 500 times hotter than this. So the smartest move is letting him get nice and comfortable. Level three isn't the takedown, it's the first step. What I love so much about a jalapeno is that everybody here knows what a jalapeno feels and tastes like. So when I say that a jalapeno is 5,000 on the heat scale, just think about the fact that later in this video there's gonna be a pepper that's about three million. You can't scare this guy.
It's called a danger dog. It doesn't look dangerous.
We're only on level three. And don't worry, remember your milk's right here.
What spicy sushi is created for level 2 using Shishido pepper?
Go ahead.
That's a good dog. First thing I taste is the bacon. Smoky, salty, fatty, and then comes the jalapeno. All that burn is on the front of my tongue. But it goes away before I take the next bite.
