After Burner wings from Wings Over are HOT — you’ve heard the daunting tales from your friends. When I asked mine about their experiences, I got these responses:
“The name ‘After Burner’ is a light statement. I did not have enough toilet paper.”
“It was a challenge to pride more than anything else, but it’s not enjoyable to eat.”
“It’s painful, but good pain. Definitely a task to eat.”
“I enjoyed it. The bleu cheese definitely made it manageable. I was sick of having Jet Fuel all the time.”
According to Wings Over’s website, they “searched the globe for heat AND flavor.” After Burner is “a super hot sauce that will make you want to eat more of it.” Well, at least to me, they certainly got that first part right. Read on to find out the nine stages of the quest to feel the After Burn.
