This is a test of endurance and stamina and poor judgment. All finalists are placed around a table.We open up by eating chili after chili until the last man/woman is standing. You will have 2 minutes to eat each pepper; if you can’t move to the next pepper you will be eliminated. We begin with mild peppers and progress to hot and end with the hottest peppers. We throw in some torches toward the end.
The Winner: The last man/woman standing is declared 2014 Chili Pepper Eating Champion of El Pelon Taqueria and will receive local notoriety, an embarrassingly large trophy and most importantly a free burrito everyday for a year.
The Runner Ups: For each of person who competes in the finals but does not win, will receive a Limited Edition 2013 Fiery Fifteen Tee Shirt, respect of their friends and family and $15 gift cards for coming to the finals.
