At both the East End Market and Dr. Phillips Domu locations, local foodies can test their spice threshold with the Dragon’s Breath Ramen Challenge, part of the restaurant’s anniversary celebrations.
Competitors have 30 minutes to finish a bowl made with the Dragon’s Breath chili, which clocks in at a self-immolating 2.48 million Scoville units, one of the hottest peppers in the world. Survive a five-minute burn period, and you’ll score your ramen gratis, a winner’s T-shirt and a spot on Domu’s victory wall.
The restaurant warns participants to “attempt at your own risk,” and for good reason: The pepper is nearly seven times hotter than a habañero.
