Michael Chernow is on a mission to find the spiciest bites from the hottest restaurants across the country. His first stop is a hip Los Angeles restaurant that puts a fresh spin on traditional Indian food with its spicy dishes and fiery five-pepper hot sauce. Next, he kicks it up a notch with a Nashville specialty – hot chicken, with intense flavor and double the heat. Michael’s last stop is a downtown Los Angeles bistro, turning up the spice on an All-American classic, the hot dog. This scorching frankfurter boasts four levels of spice that set taste buds ablaze.
