The Black Vault

Aside from being know for that really hot burger, is that place a landmark burger place for their other burgers?

My guess is they are well-known for excellent burgers of all kinds... but when I kick in the swinging saloon doors and walk in there, I'll have but one thing on my mind. The 4 Horsemen.

I can usually eat hot food..I LOVE hot food, in fact. (wings, curries..I love hot sauce on many things)
Italians eat these hot, dried pepers..I do not know what they are called..they are dried out and crispy like potato chips.
When I first met my H and met his family they had a bowl full of these dried peppers out with the snacks. H's aunt was sitting there eating them like chips. So I figured, 'no big deal' and grabbed one. I popped it in my mouth and began to crunch. HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!! I felt like one of those cartoon characters that suddenly has smoke flying out their ears. It actually hurt. Here I was trying to make a good impression on H's family and suddenly I was dying. Eyes watering, ears hurting, sinuses dripping, throat closing. Through shear will alone I made it through it.
I can remember it, CLEARLY, to this day. I was only 22 years old (46 now)

Well then, m'lady, consider yourself cordially invited to join my wife and me, on our trip to San Antonio. We'll even stop by the petting zoo just north of Austin -- be careful of the aggressive ostriches, they'll poke their head in the car and scarf anything you're holding.

So then you can join me on the wall of fame at Chunky's. Up for it?
