1. Hottest Chili Pepper: Trinidad Moruga Scorpion



The Red Hot Chili Peppers.
 
For the hottest chili peppers in the world, you have to visit the Carribean. That's Ground Zero for all of the world's hottest peppers. Growing hot chili peppers has been an art in Trinidad for centuries. In 1912, a gentleman by the name of Wilbur Scoville developed the Scoville scale, a unit of measurement specifically used to test the hotness of chili peppers, which comes from a chemical called capsaicin. In 2007, Guiness crowned the Naga Bhut Jolokia aka Ghost Pepper as the world's hottest pepper at 1,000,000 Scoville Units. But ever since then, there has been a race to create even hotter peppers. Currently, the record holder is the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion pepper at over 2,000,000 SHUs (Tabasco sauce about 40,0000). What does feel like? Watch what happens when a cute girl eats one.

3. Most Expensive Pizza: Louis XIII at $12,000



We can be here all day, arguing about the most expensive food item or restaurant, but the world's most expensive pizza? That's easy. The 8-inch Louis XIII, created by Chef Renato stands head, shoulders, and puffy hat above the others. It takes 3 chefs to make it and 3 days for the dough to rise. The pie itself is sprinkled with lots of exotic ingredients, including caviar, lobster, and salt hand-picked from the Murray River. The cost of this pizza is a staggering $12,000 (not including tip). The good news is he delivers... to anywhere in Italy.

5. Most Hot Dogs Ever Eaten: Kobayashi or Chestnut?

We got trouble, right here in Coney Island. Takeru Kobayashi, the flamboyant Japanese hot-dog eater technically holds the record for most hot dogs eaten in 10 minutes with 110. That beats rival gobbler Joey Chestnut, who has won the official Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest every year since 2009 and whose best recorded score is 69. The problem is Kobayashi has been banned from the iconic eating event because of a dispute with Major League Eating (I'm not kidding) who are the arbitrators for such events; in 2010 a furious Kobayashi attempted to storm the Nathan's stage. Kobayashi is desperate for a rematch in a sanctioned event, to prove his superiority. In spite of the offer, Chestnut has yet to, um, bite.
