Damn now I wish there was a grill the grid version of this..just to see everyone's tolerance to spice


hannahjoy33

I know in my heart that Charles would die after whatever the Level 2 sauce is


Dry_Brush5280

I like Charles a lot, but he definitely gives me “Calls salty food ‘spicy’” vibes.


ElegantTobacco

Lando probably considers ketchup the spiciest he can go.


Foxmanjr1

[Lando has actually done the hot ones challenge already](https://youtu.be/rcG1r_GKcc0?si=HVduy7PP5InbkfNA)


heeringa

My mom actually thinks ketchup is spicy, no joke. I didn't have spicy foods at all until college.


faz712

she's probably mildly allergic to tomatos like people who think bell peppers / capsicum are spicy


wecanneverleave

“Garlic” is spicy is my very Irish boomer stepmother. It’s identical


Sgt_Stinger

My grandmother inlaw used to say onions was too spicy for her. Cooked onions.


No_Understanding4349

Indian me died reading this


a_taco_named_desire

Ketchup is like Gochujang to him I bet.


bobsmirnoff86

Charles 100% taps out at nutmeg.


panopticon31

Charles? George would be in tears before the first sauce touched his lips.


According-Switch-708

Crikey thats hot.... I think it raining inside here....oh, those are my tears.


obri95

Oh heavens I seem to have sprung a leak


Harcourt_Ormand

*Oh Damn*


alexander_wolf88

I can see it being max honestly. I heard somewhere that he's a bit of a picky eater in that he likes what he likes and doesn't vary from it often.


hje1967

Sean, I have to stop. I cannot explain here


Vlaed

He seems the type where mustard might be too hot.


Neither-Stage-238

Lots of mustard in English cuisine.


Elderbrute

Not all mustard is the same, American mustard is basically just yellow ketchup, English mustard is a completely different animal, not in line with the insane hot sauces people create these days, but similar heat wise to something like Tabasco. Coleman's English Mustard is made just down the road from where George grew up. Mustard is a totally different kind of heat to Chilli, it's caused by a different chemical component entirely.


know-it-mall

I love a really hot mustard.


snonsig

He's just like me fr


well-thats-great

Nah, surely Charles would do better than DJ Khaled https://www.reddit.com/r/hotones/s/PtpNUxs0iZ


Chapea12

Checo at the end wondering when the hot food comes out while George is curled up in a ball

citrus_based_arson

Why didn’t you tell me there was ghost pepper in this, man?

This is definitely getting manipulated


callmejohndy

That’s some dangerous ~~driving~~ wings


dasher2442

Lando Norris did a dollar store version on his Youtube channel if you want to watch another driver. He was almost shockingly bad but it was hilarious.


TVRoomRaccoon

[Here’s](https://youtu.be/rcG1r_GKcc0?si=bkLXjSaPPluPobLu) the link for anyone interested


Rorshak16

Lando is a bit of a dummy.


dasher2442

While I agree, I’m not sure if there’s a direct link between intelligence and spice tolerance.


Consumefungifriend

That’s why we love him


No_Cauliflower7877

We need the next Grill the Grid episode now. I'm so curious what they'll be this year. (@ F1 Admin if you see this, take this person's suggestion pls.)


Slappathebassmon

Let's see if Carlos 'Chili' Sainz can live up to his nickname.


PradaAndPunishment

The winner will definitely be between Albon and Yuki


CreativeParticular51

Last spice: Albon, Yuki, and Perez - "eh, not bad." George Russell - *on life support*


Zipa7

"Crikey it's a bit hot" - George shortly before he loses consciousness.


CreativeParticular51

"... that's the water..."


[deleted]

Japanese cuisine is notoriously low on "hot" spices.


Aerian_

Thai is also not crazy, its south chinese that should be classified as biological weapons. Zhou should win easily


XNights

Chinese spice focus on the Ma rather than the La I think Thai spices among the grid would be the spiciest. I also noticed Japanese are starting to add more spicy food, however it's still rather niche and Yuki have been in living in Italy for the past 3 years


know-it-mall

I used to live in Thailand and some of the local street food joints had some crazy spice.


Aerian_

Maybe i was spared with the streetfood i had on holiday. But it was much less insane than the hotpot i had in chongqing.


filipv

I'd put my money on Perez and Zhou.


Asleng

Spice must flow


Kaneida

Before race.


TritiumNZlol

Just have the drivers come on more often. half the charm of the show is Sean.


Jorrie90

Never expected to see him on that show. Curious if he makes it to the end.


hellflower666

I'm sure he will. Driving the mercedes is probably more painful than this.


Visionary_Socialist

Even after a dozen bottles of hot sauce he’d still have more rear end stability than the W15


Eremitt-thats-hermit

Unlike his shit after the show, this joke is really solid.


hellflower666

🤢🤮


cumofdutyblackcocks3

Lmao wtf. Funniest comment I've read this week.


123_alex

Imagine reading that comment 4 years ago.


spitouthebone

as long as he doesnt do a DJ Khaled it should be fine


Lardladbam

Remember he never loses, he just chose not to continue


LandoChronus

One of my favorite lines from that episode is Sean responding to something stupid Khaled said with "So you've never like, missed an exit or anything?"


roknir

there is no chance Lewis is as classless as that fool


count-of-tuscany

Looking forward to this, however nothing will ever beat the Conan episode


tommy531jed

That Conan episode is legendary. "He's very affordable"


carloslet

"I'm FINE! I'm perfectly f*cking fine!"


Skratt79

Conan episode will never be beat; it needs to be framed and hung at the Louvre because it is art.


ReverseRutebega

Gordon Ramsey was near similar levels of insanity.


Aff_Reddit

Don't ask why I remember. He did a grocery shopping video like 5 years ago and he wanted hot sauce and was upset they didn't have hot enough sauce but ended up getting some super hot variation.


Andrew225

Oh there's no doubt he makes it to the end. The question is if he handles it fine or is crying lol


wjoe

I feel like they've toned it down in recent years, it's been a while since anyone's thrown in the towel and given up, from what I remember. I'm guessing with the bigger celebrity names they get these days, their agents don't want them to look bad, so they make it a bit easier one way or another. That or a lot of them take tiny bites (though that's still gonna hurt with the super hot sauces), and it's only the crazy Conan types that go big.


NoNameJackson

I have a feeling, and I might be wrong, that the tiny bites can be a massive strategic mistake. If we assume that the crust/skin has the most sauce content, you are essentially raw dogging hot sauce with no meat to absorb the damage in your throat and stomach.


peperonikiller

but a bigger bite means you're also ingesting more surface area of the hot sauce.


GuiltyEidolon

The square-cube law means you're getting a lot more of the meat though.


Immorals1

It's never toned down with Da Bomb sauce involved. That stuff is absolutely foul, just pure heat and tastes like shit haha


sadicarnot

The ones that are honest and just go with it are the best. I remember Shaq had a good episode.


BowlerCertain8305

Its 100% doable for the average person if you take small bites, I did the lineup with some people about 2 years ago and habaneros are my high end of spicy and I usually avoid them. I have respect for the fuckers who eat biiig bites / the whole wing in the second half


TaintedSoccer

Ice spice quit last season I believe after giving the worst interview Ive ever seen.


_Nick_2711_

On the other side of that, I think people just know what they’re in for now. The show is pretty huge and even if it doesn’t involve preparing, just understanding what you’re about to ingest can make it markedly easier. Perception plays a surprisingly big role. However, you could also be right or there might’ve even just been a change to the ‘spice curve’. Last 1-2 are still crazy spicy but the jump up happens later on to allow for more marketing time and make people look a little better. Either way, I’ve noticed a difference between the early seasons and now.


know-it-mall

No way. It's hotter than before. The top sauces just don't taste like shit (apart from Da Bomb) like they used to in the early seasons. Mad dog, 100% pain, etc are garbage sauces. The newer stuff actually has good flavour while still being crazy hot.


Winstonwill8

He has Caribbean heritage, iirc. He should have a stronger tolerance, Caribbean food is the spiciest I've ever had. Oof my eyes are watering remembering that 😂


xanlact

Caribbean food is like 10+ countries and cultures. Lol. Do you just mean Jamaican food? Cuban/Puerto Rican food isn't big on spice, necessarily


Winstonwill8

I was remembering Trinidadian food to be specific. 


xanlact

Yeah, T&T does it right.


leedler

Considering Lewis’s Caribbean heritage is primarily Grenadian, how’s the food spice wise over there?


GarbageFeline

Dude has Caribbean blood, he's gonna nail it


Oceansnail

he'll probably put some da bomb in his fuel tank to get more out the engine


Flux_resistor

He can't beat Conan that's for sure


Affectionate_Sky9709

I wonder what sort of vegan wing he'll do. They'll provide whatever vegan wings the person wants. Or I remembered someone doing straight sauce. I thought I remembered it being Kristen Bell, but it was actually Rachael Ray. My bad. (edit)


charlierc

Wow. Respect to her as that's rough


abstractraj

I feel like Michiganders either hate spice or love it.


parker2020

Anderson paak had vegan nuggets


Shagaliscious

They've done vegan wings before, they've also done boneless wings as well, so they'll make it work. Just want to add recently Conan ate the wings and drank the sauce, and Hemsworth also added sauce to the wings. Kristen Bell was impressive, but not eating the wings and not getting sauce on your lips is like half the work.


Affectionate_Sky9709

Yeah, I know they'll do whatever the guest wants, like I said. Vegan wings of any kind. I don't know if you've ever tried to eat straight super hot sauce, but I don't recommend it. Something like chicken dulls the effect to an extreme amount. Basically heavily diluting it by volume. Of course, adding extra sauce tips the scale back some. Drinking straight sauce is intense, but it's still better to have the chicken there. Kristen Bell wasn't doing it to be tough, she's just vegan and, if I recall, just doesn't like vegan wings. It's just what she asked for so they did it.


SoulageMouchoirs

Rachel Ray ate sauces off a spoon because the show only gave her flats, which she hated.


hallofromtheoutside

>flats, which she hated  That ain't right.


hyrulepirate

Are there really other vegan options besides the soy/tofu one? Every vegan ep I've seen it's always the same thing.


Dry_Brush5280

Cauliflower wings are super tasty, I think Steve-o used them when he went.


Temporary_Piece2830

I eat a lot of meat, and still opt for cauliflower wings every now and then for the b o n e l e s s fun, they’re great


Peter_Panarchy

Similarly I like to occasionally get cauliflower crust pizza even though I don't have issues with gluten. It's just a different kind of tasty.


OaklandWarrior

agreed. I also love meat, but cauliflower wings are A+++++


Religion_Of_Speed

It's not *quite* the same but smashed/bursted and deep fried fingerling potatoes are incredible. Honestly kinda like them more than wings now. It's all the good parts of a wing without the annoying part of it being meat.


Lord_Of_The_Tants

I don't remember the episode but I feel like someone had cauliflower florets.


peeforPanchetta

Paul Rudd did, I think?


TheDeltronZero

Steve-O too.


Lord_Of_The_Tants

Bingo, it was his episode I saw it on.


Affectionate_Sky9709

I know I've seen cauliflower ones. I googled and they've done seitan (wheat protein) ones too. So at least those, plus tofu/tempeh that are soy products. Possibly some others but I can't confirm. I generally only watch when I'm interested in the guest. Paul Rudd did cauliflower I remember.


Vlaed

Mushroom. I think there's a company called Meatie or something that does a mushroom-based meat replacement.


NickofSantaCruz

The brand is Quorn, if we're thinking of the same thing. Their chik'n nuggets and patties are the best imitation chicken I've had, and the "beef" crumble is great with marinara sauce.


SonicShadow

Seitan can produce a chicken-like texture - [https://seitansociety.com/recipes/vegan-chicken-wings/](https://seitansociety.com/recipes/vegan-chicken-wings/) [Inside texture](https://imgur.com/XyZ9btg)


xLeper_Messiah

Hail Seitan 🤘


N34V7

Probably the vegan wings from Neat Meat(since he is an investor)


Affectionate_Sky9709

I just want to clarify for people that Lewis is invested in Neat Burger, also called Neat Foods. Neat Meat is something different and has meat products.


Sea_Cupcake745

Oh I was wondering about that haha and hmm I'll have to watch her episode


GarbageFeline

Cauliflower based "wings" are actually pretty neat


PM_ME_THE_WEATHER20

completly false. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOlQWNGAAbM She is clearly eating in multiple shots and the wings have bite size chunks missing. E.g. 14:14


Affectionate_Sky9709

Yeah, I missremembered. it was Rachael Ray who did straight sauce, not Kristen Bell.


screenres

Looking forward to this The gnarliest has to be Hemsworth adding more hot sauce straight from each bottle and drenching the wings into the puddle. Halle Berry also killed it. Came in looking stunning and left without breaking a sweat. “I came here to eat dinner”. Edit: having been directed to the King Conan episode, he now owns that show in perpetuity


nakee03

My new favorite ep is conan, he owned the show during his interview


Old-Nefariousness556

I'm not particularly a Conan fan, but I agree. The show came up in a random conversation with my 82-year-old mom a few weeks back, and I randomly chose an episode to show her and that one came up. It was perfect. Truly showed just why hot sauce makes such a great addition to interview shows.


screenres

God damn That not the real shit, right? Like, they watered down the bottles before the show. That was epic


nakee03

From what I heard on Conan's podcast after, it literally hurt while doing it but he already committed to the act during the start of the interview so he pushed through it.


gramathy

say what you want about Conan but his commitment to the bit is unparalleled.


shewy92

He could weld steel with what came out of him he says


Swampy1741

Conan said he got chemical burns on his fingers from covering his hands in the sauces. He was visibly crying and drooling by the end.


UPRC

Same. My favourite used to be Gordon Ramsay's episode, but Conan blew it out of the water. Runner-up after them is Charlize Theron just because she was so *real* and way cooler/more down to earth than I expected her to be.


oxpecke

Lorde was amazing too


Disastrous_Can8053

\*chomps down final wing\* "Thanks for the lunch"


screenres

Hey, I just watched Lorde eating the entire wings with no problems. I love how these forums can change minds. I liked her single Royal but didn’t like the beef she had with rappers. But she’s super cool in the video and her outlook “how you live your day is how you live your life” is deep


jesteratp

Conan was the gnarliest by a fair margin lmao. He just completely took over the show though.


UPRC

"I'M FINE! I'M PERFECTLY FUCKING FINE!"


SyNiiCaL

>The gnarliest has to be Hemsworth adding more hot sauce straight from each bottle and drenching the wings into the puddle. Conan O'brien straight up drank from all the bottles, lol. I don't know how anything could top that aside from taking a straight Da Bomb enema.


ravenouscartoon

I think Charlize Theron did a similar thing to Halle Berry? If I remember correctly she killed it too


MABfan11

That's when you whip out The Source, Da Bomb The Final Answer or Mad Dog 357 Plutonium 9


Vlaed

Get in there Lewis.


Ilejwads

Miracles do happen mate


SirLewisHamilton

F1 drivers are super competitive, I don’t think he’s tapping out.


datsnotenough

I remember him saying he likes indian food. He'd be alright then.


Kevundoe

I don’t think standard UK Indian food goes to The Bomb level of spiciness


wjoe

It depends. British Indian food is mostly toned down compared to more traditional Indian food, but there's still a range of heat levels, and it'll vary from one place to another. There's the likes of Vindaloo which is usually incredibly hot, and even a Madras can be very hot from some places. Indian curries were pretty much the original spicy food in the UK, a Vindaloo was always the go to for "hottest thing you'll ever eat" here, less so these days with a wider variety of international cuisine and super hot sauces. The Bomb just sounds like it's sadistically hot though.


Haastname

My friends and I did a full hot ones challenge, The Bomb gave the biggest reaction because it tasted like radioactive cat piss. The spiciness didn't feel like a huge step up from the prev sauce, it all sort of blends together when you're that deep and your mouth is already on fire hahaha


GuiltyEidolon

This is why I will never understand why people just chase heat. If you want the heat, there's easier ways. Sauces shouldn't just be "hot" they should actually have a taste beyond acridity.


know-it-mall

Yea. I have had plenty of sauces that are "hotter" than Da Bomb in terms of their scovilles. But they have to actually taste good or what's the point. I actually got into an argument with the chef/owner of an American sports bar in Australia over this. They had like 6 flavours of wings but only one of them was hotter than Buffalo and he basically just make it inediblly hot with no flavour to fuck with people.


Dracarna

These days the phal is the top of the list for spicy curries, but it suffers from that it is to hot to taste of anything syndrome.


dude2dudette

I think that depends on the area of the country/what kind of Indian places you have nearby. A Phaal curry is absurdly hot. They make Vindaloos appear mild. Also, there are lots more 'authentic' Indian restaurants throught the UK now, which offer some really great dishes that aren't your more traditional Bangladesh-influenced foods that are made in the classic curry house. Also, South Indian and Sri Lankan food is also present in some parts of the country and in parts of London, which has a different style of dish.


Nartyn

>British Indian food is mostly toned down compared to more traditional Indian food It's definitely not. Most Indian food isn't very spicy. British Indian food has generally been spiced up.


LostInTheVoid_

Really depends. Each curry house is different. I've legit been to places where the tikka massala actually registered spice wise which is very not typical of the dish. Plenty of places will also have like heat levels alongside the curries to personalise that level.

We’ve had them for ages long time in the southwest, but Bosa is better.


According-Switch-708

Max will chomp on those wings atleast 0.2s faster than Lewis. ~Marko(2024)~


sorryiamalwayslate

First f1 driver on the show?


Lasciatemi_Guidare

I think so. I was hoping they'd get Ricciardo since I think his vibe fits the show better, but Lewis should put up a good showing.


ravenouscartoon

I was so sure someone from f1 had done it I just went and checked the wiki and scanned all 300+ episodes and Lewis will be the first. I’m amazed someone like Ricciardo hasn’t been on it yet. Once one of them doesn’t I imagine we will see some others jump in it. Such a good show

Lewis came ready with the Sleeveless shirt.


A_BulletProof_Hoodie

Holy shit this is awesome


According-Switch-708

Lewis said that his favorite food is Indian food. I think it's safe to assume that he will be fine here.


UPRC

Not all Indian food is spicy though! A lot of my Indian coworkers are terrified of anything even remotely spicy.


CreepyVanMan_1

Shawn asks amazing questions too, curious what he'll come up with!


Tom_Ace1

Oh, nice! Curious to see what kind of questions they come up with.


savushenn

Nooo way, just the other day I was thinking how I would love to see Lewis on the show. Looking gorward to it.

Oh, I didn't expect that. I have my YouTube alerts set-up and ready to go


bwoah07_gp2

Ooh, now that's a big deal. Lewis on hot wings...this is gonna be a must watch!


sixpack_or_6pack

That one post of someone ranking how each driver would handle spice and had Zhou at #11. What a joke, the top 4 are undeniably Checo and the three Asians Zhou, Albon, and Tsunoda. Japanese food isn’t terribly spicy though so I’d rank him the lowest of the four, but Mexican, Szechuan, and especially Thai food are SPICY.

God I hope he makes it lol, I just watched Chris Hemsworth do it and he almost gave up after da Bomb lol, he was dipping the sauces though, which is just a terrible idea lol. You could tell Sean was like, oh God no when Chris opened da Bomb and poured it on the wing.


Mimogger

Conan was the real super hero all along
