chain just became the first of its size to offer one of the world’s hottest peppers on record, the ghost pepper, on its menu.
Red Robin is challenging diners to test their tongues by adding two burgers to their roster. The first is the Fiery Ghost — a burger with ghost peppers plus fried jalapeños and pepper jack cheese. The second is the Cry Baby, which, according to the press release, combines “crispy onion straws tossed in a unique Sriracha dry seasoning with even more onions sauteed in Choulula Hot Sauce.” For a little more fire, its topped with ghost pepper ketchup.
According to the Scoville Scale, which measures the heat of hot peppers, the ghost pepper (a.k.a. Bhut Jolokia) hits 1,000,000 heat units. Compare that to the Habanero chili, which falls at around 100,000, or the jalapeño, which only scores about 3,500 to 8,000. The next step above the ghost pepper is pepper spray, which we all know is something to avoid.
