El Diablo
June 23rd, 2009 | by admin |Suburban Tap, one of GBC’s customers, gave Corey and Alex a challenge a week or so. Create a habenero burger bun to top their El Diablo burger… A burger that no one should be able to complete.
While working in the office one day my lungs began to cave in and my eyes began to well with tears. I couldn’t talk. What was going on?! Corey was working on the bun without an overhead fan to consume the fumes. It was painful.
Bringing home the buns and telling my brother Matt of the challenge he of course has to try it.
I call Brandon, the chef at Suburban Tap, and tell him to expect us.
When we get there he greets our table and Matt tells him he wants a burger that lived up to the name El Diablo. Our friend Emory gets the regular El Diablo just to see the difference.
Matt’s burger has 7 habernos within the meet with tons stacked underneath. Even the fries are spicey.
Matt dives right into the burger, finishing it in less than 5 minutes and drinking less than a glass of water.
I wish I had a picture of Brandon’s face when he came out to check on the progress.
“I’ve made that burger twice and one guy wouldn’t even bite into it and the other one took 2 bites and threw up!”
He gave us $25 off our tab and when I told him I wanted to take a super spicey one back to Corey at the bakery he put it on the house. Â
