On the other hand you have the bozos that order extra extra spicy and then whine that they can't eat it. That's likely something everyone who works in an Asian restaurant has experienced multiple times.
I have a good Sichuan place near me. Sichuan heat can sneak up on you, so people who pull this are liable to be leaving in an ambulance. Makes it difficult for me to get the authentic experience.
An ambulance because the food was too spicy? That is one expensive dinner
Reminds me of a time me and a coworker stopped for Indian food at a place neither had been before and he said he wanted a number 7. He's Korean so the server didn't blink , I said 1 please.
When the server walked away I was like man what the hell are you doing a fucking 7 !?, he said I like spicy food , I said ok sorry I mentioned it.
He needed a towel to dry his face , his nose had sweat beads dripping off it. He ate the whole dish , said it was way too hot. And he should have ordered a 2 or 3.
I don't play around in those places, store baught hot sauce is as far as I go and I like it just fine , got nothing to prove. I've tried sauces so hot my ears were ringing and I don't like that jazz
