So me, Danny, Dennis, Gennaro, and Fiesta all decided to go to the Bricklane Curry House for lunch today. We all really wanted to try the Phaal Challenge. It's supposed to be the hottest curry ever. We all get there and our waiter says, "You guys just look like you wanna try the Phaal Challenge, don't you?" We all just laugh and nod. Me and Danny are hesitant at first, but that's only because we see that they have an all you can eat lunch special for 10 bucks - the Phaal alone is 17 bucks (WE IN A RECESSION DOG). After about a minute of everyone there calling us bitches we decide to do it. Gennaro orders lamb, the rest of us order chicken. The waiter suggests we order Mango Lassi. He says it's better than milk to relieve the spiciness. We trust him since we're sure he knows what the fuck he's talking about. After a couple of minutes the Mango Lassi and the Phaal come out. Here's a picture of them:
We dig in! After a bite or two we realize how hot it actually is. It's nowhere near as hot as the Buffalo Cantina wings, but it's still fucking spicy! We all grab for our water. Dennis throws in the towel after a couple of bites. None of us could blame him, but the rest of us really wanted that certificate. I look across the table at Gennaro and he's already soaking in sweat and tearing. I man up and fight through the pain. I'm the first one to finish. The waiter comes by and says, "We have our first Curry Monster!" I get mad gassed and chug the Mango Lassi to get the hot taste out of my mouth. I finish the whole thing in about 20-30 minutes. The next person to finish - Genarro - takes about 90 minutes. Everyone keeps taking one bite, stopping for 10 minutes, then taking another bite. Either I ate it really quick, or they're just bitches. Eventually Fiesta finishes, and then Danny shortly after. We feel like shit, but we're all really proud that we actually did it.
Here's a picture of the four of us:
GLORY!
We so belong on Man Vs. Food! That guy ain't got shit on us!
