Anyone chime in on this? I was tempted to try them, I like spicy, but I can't do any kind of very spicy or higher(my stomach does not like it at all and will actually be in pain for a couple days afterwards, not to mention the going to bathroom burn).

There's zero chance that a fast food chain has anything remotely spicy enough to cause discomfort. I'll probably give these a try next week sometime, I have a Popeyes near my office at work, I hit it up for lunch occasionally.

I took the plunge - only slightly spicier than their normal spicy. I've never had anything legitimately Ghost Pepper level before but these were tamer than plenty of Chinese buffet items.

They are making my nose run a bit though, heh.

If you want to get a nice ghost pepper kick find some Mrs. Renfros Ghost Pepper Salsa. That shit is awesomely hot. Oh and to keep it fast food related, i put some on my Taco Bell nachos.

Good shit, I will agree.

I just picked some of this up and it blows the Renfro's out of water not only in taste, but heat (it isn't overbearing, but very hot none-the-less). The issue is, you will feel "un-easy" for the rest of the day after eating it. I am not a fan of ghost chili's as they taste very bland when used compared to other very hot peppers (scorpions, Carolina reapers, Habanero, lemon drop pepper). They almost have a sour, earthy, pungent taste when used in various types of sauces.

I had one of those crunchwrap sliders from Taco Bell tonight. I agree with whoever said they were dry. Was pretty lame.

I love Mrs Renfros salsas (Mango Habanero is probably my favorite), but even the Ghost Pepper flavor isn't anywhere as hot as real ghost peppers, I'm pretty sure it's just empty wording used to sell the product.

I've had both a homemade salsa made with ghost peppers and a buffalo chicken wing sauce made with ghost peppers, and both absolutely melted my face. The buffalo chicken ghost pepper sauce was so goddamn hot that I kinda went numb all over, I was like a retarded 6 year old with my motor skills for the next hour or so. I spilled my drink twice, tripped up some stairs, etc(all at a party). Shit is ridiculous when you get the real stuff.

Applebees fucking sucks but someone gave me a gift card so I had to go.

Welp, the new Triple Bacon Burger is fucking unreal. Best chain burger I've ever had. Apparently it would have only been 6 dollars if I went on a Monday. Supposedly they completely changed how they make their burgers and aren't using frozen meat anymore.

Just bought this. I guess I'm a huge pussy because I find it hot as fuck. My tongue and lips are numb and my nose is running like a faucet.

Yeah it certainly brings the heat. I can only eat this stuff once in awhile. The habanero version is perfect heat imo, hot enough where you still wanna keep eating without it blowing out your mouth... then your ass.

I bought some Mrs. Renfro's ghost pepper salsa yesterday. Still need to test it out.

I ordered one of those and it was one of the worst burgers I've ever had.

Maybe I just had a bad batch, but I actually thought the Mrs Renfros Habanero salsa was hotter than their ghost pepper salsa

This is the stuff I had. It was hot as fuck. If this isn't what Ghost Peppers are like then I don't want to know. FYI this is the stuff that made me light-headed and question my life choices.

Yeah the Mrs Renfro's ingredient list jalapeno is way, way above ghost pepper. Ghost pepper was right after salt and was like the 9th ingredient or something.

Got one this weekend too and when I got to the window it was 1.07, I was like wtf? It was a goddamn baby tiny Mexican crunchwrap\

@Hot Sauce, do you guys like Scotch Bonnetts? They seem hot to me and in the islands we basically grind them up with garlic and vinegar for our hot sauces. Trinidad and the smaller islands have some fucking fire, if that's one of their "hot pepper" sauces its holy shit hot even for an islander.

I had the pineapple burger from their new burger selections and I was fairly unimpressed. I think that's saying something, since I'm one of the most easy-to-please people when it comes to food. That said, in terms ofchainburgers I would put it up near the top and I think it beat any burgers from non-burger chains. The only chain burgers I'd put over the new Applebee's ones would be from chains that specialize in burgers, such as Red Robin.

The only redeeming factor was you could tell it was real beef and not some grey patty filled with oatmeal like mcdonalds or whatever. Plus it was slightly burnt, so it may be better if cooked properly (asked for medium, which is about as low as I'll go at any chain restaurant)

Applebees, maybe TGI Friday, is advertising this healthy pub food shit. I crack up everytime I see it. Never in the history of guys have we gone out for a meal and beer and someone orders up a fucking grilled chicken breast with quinoa.
