Riddle me this…

Why do people order Hot & Spicy food if they can’t eat Hot & Spicy food?

  • You wouldn’t order a beef dish if you didn’t want to eat beef.
  • You wouldn’t order mushrooms if you were allergic to mushrooms.

So why order something marked as Hot & Spicy if you can’t/don't eat Hot & Spicy?

I hate going to a restaurant and ordering something on the menu marked as “Hot & Spicy” only to be sadly disappointed. Those dishes are ruined by people that order Hot & Spicy and can’t eat Hot & Spicy. Then the restaurant has to tone it down to reduce the number of complaints they get from these cry babies. Why don’t they stick with the other dishes on the menu?

I take the "Hot & Spicy" designation as a warning. No different than: Contents under pressure, Caution: Contents Hot, High Voltage, Do Not Enter.

If it says "hot and spicy" chances are it's going to be (wait for it) hot and spicy.

Michelle: Yes! Sad but true.

PW: Were they thinking they were going to get a bait & switch? "It said Hot & spicy but it turned out to be salty & sour."
