A burger chain with four outlets in the Texas Hill Country has recently added an offering to its menu which is so spicy it requires that you sign a waiver before taking your first bite! Hopdoddy Burger Bar, which has three locations in Austin and one in San Antonio, unveiled its Love at First Sting burger on Thursday, August 10, and if you like your food hot, you’re going to want to get your hands on it. But, you only have until August 22, as it’s a limited-time offering.

Nestled in a freshly baked egg bun top and white bun bottom, this ground beef burger is topped with Trinidad scorpion “Butch T” peppers, serrano peppers, Bhut jolokia “ghost peppers,” habaneros, pepper jack cheese, caramelized onions, and ghost pepper salsa roja. Oh, and of course tomato, lettuce, and chipotle mayo, but you’re probably still stuck on “Trinidad scorpion ‘Butch T’ peppers.”

Purported to be somewhere between four and 14 times fierier than a serrano pepper, the Trinidad scorpion pepper still out-hots the “ghost peppers” (which, with respect to Scoville heat units, are anywhere between three and 10 times hotter than the same), all three of which can be found on the Love at First Sting burger. Prior to eating this $13 mouth-melting meal, connoisseurs will be required to complete a release form that prohibits a lawsuit against the burger chain, its owners, and its staff, in perpetuity. Those that are brave enough to step up to this hot plate will get a free mini vanilla milkshake to pair it with. Some of the precautions that are given by Hopdoddy regarding this burger delicacy with devilishly hot peppers include: “burning of the skin,” “stomach pain,” “extreme burning of the mouth,” and “painful evacuation of bowels.” These are of course tempered with lighthearted side effects such as “the overwhelming craving for milk, ice cream, popsicles, and/or ice cubes,” and “psychedelic visions,” however, “tasty and tempting” is the way we read it!
