Old hotness: Pineapples on pizza are an abomination.
New hotness: Jalapenos on pizza are an abomination.
Future hotness: Salmiak licorice on pizza is an abomination.

Great. Now I am SURE that DEREK!!! is going to order a Pineapple/Jalapeno/Salmiak Licorice Pizza for the next game night. Pairs well with a handle of Mr. Boston's vodka, I'm sure.
Nah. Jalapeno on pizza is amazing.
 

The best pizza I've ever had in my life I made myself and it contained jalapenos, kimchi, and anchovies.
When I worked at a law firm in Downtown L.A., I would go to the local Sbarro for lunch sometimes. In that space was also a Carl's Jr. and they had their respective counters within a few feet of one another.

Anyway, the owner of the Sbarro had pepperoni, cheese and sausage pizzas. I asked if she had any jalapeno and she said no. I then told her that jalapeno was fantastic on pizza, but I only got a skeptical look from her. So I asked the woman behind the Carl's Jr. counter for a few jalapenos and left.

This went on for a long time, with me getting a pepperoni slice and asking for jalapeno next door. Finally after about 3 or 4 months I walked in one day and there in the Sbarro case was a pepperoni and jalapeno pizza. I laughed and looked the owner and asked her what happened to change her mind. She said, "You kept getting it for your pizza, so one day I broke down and tried it myself. Now it's my best seller."

In Southern California, not at least trying to throw a jalapeno on the food you're serving could be seen as corporate malpractice.

I don't feel like I'm having a proper burger unless there's jalapeno and either hot sauce, or barbecue sauce on it. Thankfully, in Canada we have Harvey's.

I love spicy food, including BBQ. Unfortunately, 99% of food items at restaurants labeled spicy or hot, just aren't. Then one day my wife and I was driving home from a car trip vacation and we saw a Famous Dave's and decided to stop in and eat lunch.

We got our BBQ items and were going over the various hot sauces they had out, and while a few were kinda spicy, nothing was really hot. The waitress walked by and I asked her if they had any really hot BBQ sauces that just weren't at this table. She said they had one more that they don't put out on a table, because too many people were trying it. So of course we asked for it.

After the waitress brought out the hot sauce called Wilbur's Revenge, about a half dozen other members of the staff also walked out, because they wanted to see us try it. We put it on our stuff and it turned out to be the hottest BBQ sauce that I have ever had. We loved it and the staff walked away, I feel vaguely disappointed in our reactions.

Famous Dave's has since stopped selling it on their website or at their locations, but they still serve it in restaurant. I managed to talk the manager of the Long Beach location into selling me a pint of it as a miscellaneous item in a to go container, and that has lasted me a while. Hopefully whoever is there when I got next will do it again, as I'm getting kinda low.
