Well, I don't know if my constant badgering for more heat on my chicken tenders had anything to do with it, but finally, Door County has a REAL hot sauce contender.
Husby's have adopted the venerable "Dead Heat" bottled hot sauce and incorporated it into their menu. This is a respectable "hot" sauce manufactured by Hot Sauce Harry's Inc. It is part of a limited edition run and comes with its own coffin and Death Certificate (100,000 scoville heat units).
Anyway, mixed with Husby's own house wing sauce it adds a nice bite to your wings or tenders. However, not content to leave well-enough alone, James has thrown down the gauntlet to us heat fiends by introducing the Husby's Hot Wing Challenge. Using undiluted "Dead Heat" sauce plastered on an order of wings, one must eat around 7 of these fiery fiends to successfully complete the HHWC. Various incentives are on offer for people capable (read stoopid) enough of rising to and completing the challenge.

Naturally yours truly became the first moron to suffer through the 100,000 SHU's, downing about 7 or 8 wings and living to tell the tale.
So my hat goes off to Husby's, I recommend you visit them in Sister Bay and try the hot wing challenge.
I'll be dropping in tonight to issue them with their framed "Refrigerated Toilet Roll" award, the first issued to a Door County restaurant.
How did it feel? - yes those puppies are hot! Not quite a 100 on the SOS, but darned close at 96. By far my hottest experience in Door County to date.
Kudos to James and the gang for making this old sod suffer. Lets see if any other bar/tavern/restaurant in the area can kick it up a notch or two and compete for the 2010 RTR award.

Excellent reporting as always.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Casey's in Egg Harbor, I hear they have some hot stuff on the menu?
Have you been there?

ReplyDeleteHello Ben
ReplyDeleteYes I've been to Casey's but never really noticed anything hot/spicy. Their flavor seems to be more 'smokey' which I really like too. I always enjoy their sampler plate with smoked WI sausage and pork or brisket.
Cheers
