Looking to add a little kick to your weekend? The First Annual New York City Hot Sauce Expo, a two-day event celebrating our ever-increasing love of fiery foods, might be just the thing. A general admission ticket for either day costs just $10 and includes things like live music, fire breathers, eating challenges and contests, award shows, vendors selling booze and all manner of five-alarm foodstuffs. There will also be a chicken wing cook-off on Saturday and a best Bloody Mary competition on Sunday, which sounds pretty ideal to me. Just remember that there’s no shame in picking up some Pepto en route—in this case, heroics can only lead to heartburn. —K.H.
