Some like it hot, and some like it Carolina-Reaper hot. If you know what we’re talking about, you might want to investigate these spicy events taking place over the Eat Drink Play festival:
🌶🔥 Can you survive the five @thetastingroomwellington with 5 wings and 5 hot sauces over two full weeks. Wings can be made chicken or cauliflower. Double the heat from 6.30-7.30pm daily to witness the @wellingtonfirebenders.
🐉🥵 Baxters Wing Challenge at @panheadtory has a spicy wing and Panhead beer tasting for just $30 (dozen wings and 450ml pint), with a choice in ‘gears’ ranging from sweet and smoky through dragon’s breath!
