Stop 3 – Challenge 1: Tallahassee, Florida

Do you smell that yet?  It’s the smell of intestinal conflagration.  Or in shorter words, guts on fire. Don’t lie, of course you don’t smell it yet, because we haven’t been to Stevi B’s yet!  Stevi B’s is a pizza joint in Tallahassee, Florida, and our first eating challenge of the trip.  This place sort of does that whole Cici’s pizza buffet thing, only theirs is far better.  There’s better pizza, guys in Bee suits, and the Flamethrower.

The Flamethrower is allegedly one of the spiciest pizzas in the country.  A pizza dough, topped with hot sauce instead of pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella, and heaped with a mountain of the spiciest peppers they can get their hands on.  The eating challenge is to first sign a waiver, then to eat a single slice of the pizza.  Just one slice.  You can have anything you want to drink with it, but as soon as you finish, there’s a 15 minute wait period before you’re allowed to drink or eat anything else.  When they sit you down, you have puke buckets surrounding you, and as a courtesy they ask you take your own bucket to the dumpster out back.  We recently found a discussion about the pizza on a travel site where 7 guys sat down to try and eat it, and only one made it the full 15 minutes, after which he puked violently.  We’re going to put their pizza to the test.  My prediction is James will fair well, and I will be fetal and crying 2 minutes into it.  But we’ll see. According to the sun dial we’ve mounted to the top of the RV, and the whispers in the wind, we will butchering our stomach’s Italian style on May 8th, so hang on tight! Specific times to come, though you may want to duck out early, before the spicy-pizza-ass kicks in. And so help me, if you call it ‘Za, I will slap you in the face with a tubesteak.
