The 1st Annual Mi Hacienda
Hot Chili Pepper Eating Contest
What would Cinco de Mayo be without a Hot Chile Pepper eating contest? Can you
take the heat? If so, sign up for a chance to win fabulous prizes – all for stomaching a
few of the world’s hottest chile peppers!
The hotness of chilies is based on Scoville Heat Units. In 1912, Wilbur Scoville, a
chemist by profession, developed a method to measure the heat level of chile peppers.
The test is named after him, known as the “Scoville Organoleptic Test.”
The substance that makes a chile so hot is called Capsaicin. Pure Capsaicin is rated
somewhere between 15,000,000-16,000,000 Scoville heat units. To put Scoville
heat units (SU) in a better prospective, a jalapeno is rated 2,500-8,000 Scoville heat
units compared to a Habanero which is rated 100,000-325,000 Scoville heat units.
All Contestants will receive a free entree and soda from our specialties of the house and
A free Hot Pepper Contender T-shirt. The winner will receive a 32in LCD TV a hot
pepper eating champion t shirt (Only one made)plus bragging rights. Do you think you
