Streets were cordoned off outside the Thai Cottage restaurant in London’s Soho theatre and nightlife district.

The ambulance service dispatched a Hazardous Area Response Team unit to Monday night’s alarm.

Firefighters dressed in special suits broke down the doors and discovered the source of the smell: chef Chalemchai Tangjariyapoon’s fiery signature nam prik pao chili sauce.

This time of year in Santa Fe there are outdoor vendors fire-roasting chiles all over town. It’s the first smell of autumn.

    Tangjariyapoon’s Fire Brigade Chili! One bowl and you’ll be cordoned off!

    Seems like that terror campaign is working. The government (pick one) can stop now. We get it.

  4. MikeN says:

    Chillies are dangerous. Even physical contact can cause severe burns.

  5. Atomic Bitchwax says:

    If your balls itch, be sure and scratch them before cutting up your peppers.

  6. Nicky says:

    Yup, this is the the thing that can fire up the Shuttle! 🙂

    When my daughter was about 9 or 10 I told her not to touch the chili’s I was drying on the windowsill outside. I told her that if she did touch them, then touched her eyes, she’d regret it.

    Even after poring about 10 gallons of plain yogurt on her poor burning eyes, she still regretted it.

    They should have listened. They never do, but they should.

    Dangerous? I have to wear latex gloves, a filter mask and goggles when grinding dried Habeneros for “Red Alert Chili.” Then I ventilate the kitchen. I know exactly why it’s called “pepper spray.”

    #5, also make *certain* you don’t need to pee when messing with chilis 🙂

    If one bowl of this guys chili sauce caused all this, then my Mom and her kitchen would be part of the axis of evil……lol

    She has every kind of inflammable chili known to man drying or cooking almost every day of the year. In our family, the hottest chili’s are the necter of the Gods. About the only thing cooked without hot chili’s by her is jello.

    Hot peppers –yum! Science will someday unlock their full usefullness.

    Tastes like burning 😉

    Man you can’t buy advertising like that…..

    I’m with #10…however.. never had hot pepper jelly? great on a hot bisquit….

    I love the hot stuff. I have a local guy that grows his own peppers and makes his own hot sauces… the killer one is call DT’s , a quarter teaspoon in a bowl of chili will leave you sweating with tears rolling…. never mind next day…..( so hot it will burn you twice)bisquit

    Here’s a good link to bottled sauces. Blair’s is a favorite and has an excellent flavor — note the skull keychain. There are a few hotter, but this one you can actually taste as it doesn’t completely burn the skin off the roof of your mouth. Use Tabasco to cool your mouth off.
