East Coast Grill's Hell Night

East Coast Grill

What started as a gentle, sporting challenge between chef and public has exploded into a four-day marathon of fiery, singeing, beyond spicy, nearly inedible, atomic food. East Coast Grill's Hell Night is a festival of capsaicin, and this year is the biggest yet, with 15 varieties of fresh fall chilies including the "ghost pepper," which weighs in at more than one million Scoville units. Join master of ceremonies Dr. Pepper for your semi-annual dose of culinary masochism at 1271 Cambridge St, Cambridge | October 5-8 | free | www.eastcoastgrill.net.
