Can You Finish The Hottest Ever Curry Challenge?

[@bigcee3338]

For anyone that follows the DARREN JOHN channel and reads the comment section will know i like to post my thoughts ( esp Brenda), im slightly lost for words on this occasion. I swear i could taste this curry from six thousand miles away here in Thailand !! Unless it was me shaking, im sure Darrens hand was shaking as he spooned the first rice onto his plate. The intrepidation was all so clear to see in his facial expression and also the biting of his lip. It had all the hallmarks of a John Wayne Western, for sure a Sylvester Stallone and a Jack Nicholson thriller rolled into one challenge. The way the Boss described it had me on thet edge of my seat clammering for an ice bucket.. But fear not this fella is made of strong and stern stuff, to say he took it in his stride would be like saying Eddie the Eagle Edwards is a ballet dancer, this was a bare knuckle, nail biting, saturday night watershed moment. But we all knew the Bobby Dazzler woudnt let the show down, ok a few beads of sweat and a sweep back of the silver locks all in a days work for the 'geezer' as the Mac would say . I did wonder if the Canterbury Tales video's could ever be bettered ? This was created with aplomb,and sophistication we all come to expect from this genius of a youtube vlogger. i wonder what name he gave it ??? Possibly not the same as the morning after !! We shall all have to wait till the next vlog to see if Darren's appearance has changed. Incredible is all i can add... Well Done all round to City Spice and to DJ for bringing this challenge to the fore.. 10/10 OFF THE CHARTS Big Cee Issan Thailand

[@DarrenJohn]

Thank you for your heart felt words put into the comments above - this was by no means easy Big Cee, certainly a challenge not for the faint hearted. An amazing place (City Spice) with fantastic staff - and the food is truly "off the charts" Happy new year to you and your loved ones Charlie

Total respect, Darren, you were as cool as a cucumber. That actually looked tasty as well as hot. Hope to be in London in 2022 and will definitely eat at City Spice. It’s a while since I’ve been on Brick Lane. Happy New Year when it comes and thanks for all your content.

Good evening Darren, I’ve been informed that you were the only one to beat this challenge. Yesterday, that changed, it’s an honour to share beating this challenge with you, the lads at City Spice were amazing and the curry was a killer.

Food did look amazing too & the host was a true gent 👍 Another Top vlog DJ 👍🔥🔥🔥

[@dududu5189]

I'm old enough to remember when Indian restaurants would rely on fresh chillies or powder to heat up their dishes. Too many these days use chemical extracts of capsaicin, which can be many times hotter than anything nature can produce. Glad you survived the _"double burn"_ of this curry challenge *DJ!*

[@DarrenJohn]

Cant beat fresh chillies

[@stuart207]

I'll eat any dish with fresh chillis, extract? No lol 😆 it's dirty.

[@MegaVector2011]

Well done Darren, that looked lethal! Carolina Reapers have been the worlds hottest chilis since 2013. I grow chilis but super hots don't do well in UK. I have grown bhut jolikia, ghost peppers which Carolina Reapers dethroned as the hottest and made curries with them which were insane. Think I'd have struggled with that though, so really well done. 👌👍

[@DarrenJohn]

Thanks Bob - not for the faint hearted

[@stuart207]

Naga viper held the record after the bhut, then it was the Trinidad scorpion before the reaper came along..

[@stephaniewhite9526]

[@robertjamison1463]

You're a man after my own heart Darren. I was introduced to Indian food by a 'mate' a long time ago, who suggested I try a Vindaloo as a good starting point whilst he ordered a pitiful (as I now know) Biryani. It was a shock at the time but I didn't let him see my discomfort and ate the lot. Since then I have had many and really love a hot one. Iv'e tried Bangalore phall and naga dishes and love them. Ordered one in a restaurant where the waiter warned me not to order it. I did and the chef came out of the kitchen to watch me eat it. Brilliant. Got to say you did extremely well with this challenge. Looks to be a great restaurant that doesn't skimp on portions.

[@DarrenJohn]

My favourite place in Brick Lane - even though hot, the flavours are still so good
