Peninsula Pub Rocks!

Well it's been a while but I'm back and I have good news to report my friends...

It's been kinda quiet on the Hot Sauce front this past few months, nothing new to report that's lit my candle so to speak. A couple decent hot wings here and there, the usual good homemade sauces but not a lot else to report.

Then Kyle, former chef at John Henry's, takes over at the Peninsula Pub with fiance Faye, and knocks one out of the ballpark.
First off let me say that I've eaten at the Pen Pub probably 8 or 9 times now, over the course of the Summer, and everything I've eaten there has been top banana.
Well of particular interest to me is the fact that Kyle has given the pub a 'HOT' theme...a burning devil in hell is their logo and Kyle serves a kicked up 9-pepper chili that's to die for. The chili is spicier than any other I've had in Door County, in fact I can't recall a spicier chili anywhere....though chili is rarely my first choice when I'm eating out. Now Kyle, the spicy devil, keeps a bottle of pure Bhut Jolokia sauce in the kitchen for special occasions - such as, my first visit to the Peninsula Pub following Kyle's take over. He let me try a bowl of their already kicked-up chili and added one drop, yes....one drop of the Bhut Jolokia sauce. Wow! That stuff is like lava....just the one drop gave me a hot sweat and the feeling that all wouldn't be well the following morning. And it wasn't :)

Now Kyle has introduced a hot wing challenge that has me tempted, but so far I've been able to resist.....but for how long is anyone's guess.

Get on down to the 'new' Peninsula Pub for great bar food and Door County's HOTTEST hot pepper experience!

  1. LOL....I actually found this post looking for places to eat in Door County, and took your advice! - yes, great chili and an even better fish fry.

    Thanks!

  4. The wing challenge is no joke. Hottest thing I have ever eaten. The milk at the end does little to extinguish the heat. But, I emerged victorious. Took me the full 10 minutes, but I made the Wall of Flame (#18 out of 165 as of October 15th). Good sports bar atmosphere, as well. Nice place to catch a Saturday college football game.
