Wanted: Culinary Daredevils

Listen to this article

Red Heat Tavern, with locations in Bedford and Wilmington, is turning up the heat and raising the stakes with the ultimate spice-lover’s test: The Red Heat Reaper Challenge. Every Wednesday from 3  – 11 PM, culinary daredevils are challenged to finish ten of Red Heat’s signature scorching wings in ten minutes or less, for the chance to claim Red Heat Reaper victory.

Red Heat’s signature “Reaper” wings are made with Carolina Reaper sauce, a hybrid of ghost chili pepper that is combined with other peppers to become the spiciest pepper in the world. The challenge of ten wings in ten minutes or less is $17.95 to enter, and free if completed in time.  Guests who beat the heat will also receive a signature Red Heat t-shirt. Participants must be 18+ to enter.

Can’t stand the heat but can’t say no to wings? Red Heat Tavern gives guests shy to the spice alternative options with Wicked Wing Wednesday.  From 3 – 11 PM, enjoy any wings, any style for $0.75 per wing at both locations.

Red Heat Tavern is open seven days a week, Monday – Thursday, 11:30 AM – 11 PM, Friday – Saturday, 11:30AM – 12 AM and Sunday, 12 – 10 PM. For more information on Red Heat Tavern or to make a reservation, visit www.redheattavern.com.
