Anyone had the 50 Alarm burger from Slater's 50/50?

Found 3 reviews on Google, 1 couldn't eat it but they said they don't like spicy food. 1 said it wasn't much of a problem and the last managed but struggled. For anyone curious

It's a carne fire beef patty with sliced Jalapenos, Ghost Pepper Colby Jack cheese, beer battered Habanero peppers and ghost chili bacon spread on a brioche bun.

I usually laugh at most places "spicy" offerings. But this one requires you to sign a waiver and they give you gloves. Sounds like it's going to be brutal. I like hot but I'm unsure how this measures up. I'm going with a female, so if I do end up getting it I'm sure it'll end in epic failure lol. If I eat it, good or bad outcome I shall update this thread.

Would love to try it if it were reasonably spiced. I don't mind taking the occasional moment to cool down my mouth, but food made like this is a waste IMO. I want to taste my food too and not have my mind and senses totally overwhelmed by pain.

Why the jalapenos? I seriously doubt you could taste them. Like throwing a match on a blast furnace.

Putting aside how stupidly useless ghost peppers are-

Who the fuck wants a greaseball burger shaped like two softballs stacked on top of each other? What am I supposed to do with that, fucking slice it and eat it with a fork?

I enjoy hot and spicy, but that's just ridiculous. Food should be pleasure, not powering through something awful just to prove you can. I'll just order a burger that tastes good.

No way in hell, when I eat a burger I want to taste good beef. That's nothing but hot, no way anyone can eat that and say they enjoyed it

What's the point of this sandwich? Just drink lighter fluid if you want to brag about some useless conquest.

I usually eat food because I want it to taste good.

I loved their burgers but definitely wouldn't eat that.

I had four of the Blazin wings @ Buffalo Wild Wings. Only four, and I was definitely feeling it in the bathroom the next morning.

Don't think I'm getting the burger, not because I don't want to. The nights we're able to go the only one we could make it to before closing is the Rancho one, which apparently doesn't offer that burger. Which sucks, but the Rancho one has a much better beer list, which is a good thing :D

The only way we could make it to the Anaheim one would be before work, and I don't know if I'd want to eat that burger right before work lol.

what a dumb collection of food. the beer-battered habaneros aren't enough? I like hot and tasty peppers and all that, but this thing is stupid.

The Haneberos alone would be way too much for most people. I know stuffing them with cream cheese and battering and frying them helps with the heat some. But I eat them straight and they're brutal. Even at 50% any of my friends still wouldn't be able to finish 1. The burger with only the poppers wouldn't be edible by most people. Eating retardly hot shit does something to you beyond the obvious pain. The burn sucks, but the Endorphin rush is like nothing else. When I eat a Habanero it's an experience, for people who can handle the heat, hot peppers are basically a drug.
