If you think you can handle your spice, Burger Urge is inviting you to put it to the test.
The gourmet burger chain launched the new Nashville Death Wish burger across its Mackay stores last month, featuring the sweat-inducing, tear-generating Aged Moruga Scorpion chilli which is considered one of the hottest chilies in the world, with a heat of 2 million Scoville heat units.
The hot new burger boasts a southern twist with hot fried chicken breast, jalapenos, pickles and crunchy slaw, covered in lashings of Nashville death sauce which Burger Urge executive chef, Joel Chrystal said transforms the burger into a beast.
“This is our fourth attempt at Australia’s hottest burger and over those five years, we’ve only ever seen a few crazy souls finish the whole thing so we’re excited to see which brave Aussies can tackle our hottest burger ever,” he said.
“It features what we’ve coined as Death Wish Sauce, made in collaboration with award winning local legends 13 Angry Scorpions; filled with aged Moruga Scorpion chillies which are a whopping 400 times hotter than the average jalapeno and more than 500 times than most tabasco sauce.”
While Burger Urge Mackay Back of House Crewmember Thja Gilbert hasn’t tried the burger, she said the sauce is very spicy.
“I like spice, but that level is ridiculous,” she said.
“Just the slightest bit … I tried it with a toothpick, put it on my tongue and it was instant.”
Claimed to be Australia’s most unfinishable burger, brave tasters of the new Death Wish are required to wear gloves, safety glasses, protective gear, and sign a safety waiver before tasting.
“If the customer can’t handle the spice, they can ask for a free glass of milk and milk is the only thing that will help,” Ms Gilbert said.
The hot new burger is available at Burger Urge Mackay and Andergrove until July 27.
The first 20 Bite Club members in each store to complete the burger will also receive an exclusive Death Wish keychain.
Ms Gilbert’s last words of encouragement?
“Good luck.”
