What You See Below You Can KILL YOU!

Take a look at this burger:

Beautiful, right? So what’s better than a great looking burger? How about one that can KILL YOU DEAD!

London Gets HOT HOT HOT AGAIN!

Behold a burger that is so hot – SO VERY VERY HOT – that it not only nourishes, it kills!

You are looking at the “XXX Hot Chilli Burger” – a burger so hot it is actually dangerous! Once again, the fiery Chefs from across the pond have taken burger madness up another flaming notch! You can find this burger madness for sale at the “Burger Off” restaurant in Hove, Sussex…

Want A Burger? Sign Here Please!

“Burger Off” owner Nick Gambardella restricts the burger for sale only to those 18 years and older, and forces customers to sign a legal release! Nick says the waiver is a protection against lawsuits – and he admits that his fiery “XXX Hot Chilli Burger” has put five people in the hospital!

This is such a great story! Big thanks to “The Daily Mail” and “Cavendish Press” for the story and the pics – because it just gets better!

Here’s more of the story from The Daily Mail: “Along with a man who may have “perforated his bowel” because he had a stomach ulcer, Gambardella says he’s “heard the local hospital had people on crash mats on adrenalin drips from my burger.” The waiver reads: “‘I the undersigned accept all responsibility for any effects incured [sic] due to the consumtion [sic] of the above mentioned XXX Hot Chilli Burger and release Burger Off, its owner and staff from any liability.”

So what makes the burger so deadly? The beef burger is topped with a sauce “based on a Piri Piri chilli concentrate.” Apparently it ranks 9.2 million on the Scoville scale, which is higher than pepper spray. Gambardella says that of the 3,000 who have tried to eat the burger, only 50 have finished it!

If I was in England, I would have to see this thing in person – as well as the disclaimers – and it reminds me:

WHAT IS THE SCOVILLE SCALE?

So a quick primer on how they determine the fiery nature of this burger. The “Scoville Scale” was developed by American pharmacist Wilbuer Scoville in 1912, and it is the scientific measure of the amount of “capsaicin” in chili peppers.

“Capsaicin” is the chemical compound that produces the sensation of heat in the mouth.

The amount present in a chili pepper is measured in “Scoville Heat Units” – with the average chili pepper measuring 500 units.

Of course, when you take these hot peppers and amp them up to infinity, well that’s when the fun begins – and the legal disclaimers come out!

Here is what customers have to sign:

‘I the undersigned accept all responsibility for any effects incured (sic) due to the consumtion (sic) of the above mentioned XXX Hot Chilli Burger and release Burger Off, its owner and staff from any liability.’

Well, aside from the misspellings and strange use of language, it all works!

Mr Gambardella said he was ‘amazed’ that he was allowed to sell such a spicy burger – adding: ‘It has been a massive hit with the customers’.

‘I have to admit I’ve not dared to try one of these burgers myself as they are so spicy,’ he said.

‘One guy came in and he was just a little bit cocky and when he left he was admitted to hospital because prior to eating the burger he had a stomach ulcer and we believe it perforated his bowel. He wasn’t in a good way but he pulled through.

‘I’ve also heard the local hospital had people on crash mats on adrenalin drips from my burger. But we never call an ambulance, it is always the customer who calls.’

Talk about an honest interview for a crazy hot burger!
