The Food Network’s show Heat Seekers will be featuring Rooster’s Roadhouse in Denton when their new episode of the season airs this month. Heat Seekers features spicy foods, while testing to see if Hosts Aarón Sanchez and Roger Mooking can take the heat. In the season opener, the hosts decided to take on the heat at Rooster’s by trying out the Hell Burger.
Featuring the nether-worldly ghost pepper in its sauce, the Rooster’s Hell Burger is so hot that anyone who wants to take on the challenge must be 18 years or older and sign a waiver. The Bhut Jolokia, or ghost pepper in the U.S., was once considered the hottest pepper in the world, and still easily ranks within the top 5. With that added kick, the Hell Burger can make grown men cry for mercy.
Sanchez and Mooking visited Dallas in October during the State Fair of Texas. Wanting to test their mettle against Rooster’s famed Hell Burger, the two chefs each teamed up with a bull rider from the State Fair. Rooster’s manager, Johnny Law, found the visit “was quite entertaining,” since the loser of the challenge ended up looking like a clown.
Watch the Food Network Channel to find out which host could take the heat in Denton when the show premiers its new season on January 16, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. CST or at 2:00 a.m. CST January 17.
