Last weekend we went to Harbourside Grillstock the UK's biggest BBQ festival. As soon as we walked in we heard they were having a chilli eating competition and since Steve, Connor and I all love chilli (con carne ) we thought it would be fun to enter. What we didn't realize is that it was a "hot chilli competition"
The rules are simple…
A maximum of 15 contestants line up on a long table on stage. Each is presented with a chilli, which they must eat. Next, they’ll be issued a hotter chilli which again they must eat. One by one, the heat will be too much and competitors will bow out gracefully albeit with streaming eyes, burning face and sweaty brow.
The competition continues in this manner until only one contestant remains.
The winner this year will get a Macs ProQ® Frontier BBQ Smoker worth £159.99 along with a selection of BBQ sauces & seasonings. The winner also receives ultimate bragging rights.
All contestants will be required to complete a health questionnaire and sign a form stating they understand the side effects! Connor and I quickly exited the competition and went to find a front row spot to cheer on Steve as one by one he downed the hottest chilli's in the world. It still makes me cringe! Here is the video of Steve departing the contest after eating 6 crazy hot chilli's. ( If you drink the sugar milk or throw-up you are out of the competition). I felt so bad for him, he was not a happy camper. I'm pretty sure it will be a long time before Steve will eat anything chilli related. He is the one on the far left, don't forget to watch the girl on his right. The winner was a Canadian living in Scotland who comes to Bristol every year just for Grillstock. He ate at least 15-20 chilli's.
