Welcome to Good Hurts!

Good Hurts is dedicated to the best hurts on Earth: spicy foods.
I'm Russell. I teach English, write poetry, but most importantly, I am a spice aficionado and I dedicate myself to categorizing, reviewing, and torturing myself with the spiciest foods and sauces this great world has to offer, all so you can know about the most brutal, benevolent, and best bangs for your buck.

Enjoy, and feel the burn.

Russell vs. the Brick Lane Curry House Phaal Curry Challenge


Yes, Adam Richman of Man vs. Food is a hot freak for life. If he wasn't, why would he murder his precious innards by challenging the most brutal curry in the USA? Using a deadly blend of peppers. the fearsome Phaal needs to be prepared by a gas mask wearing chef and requires a waver to be signed before it is ordered.
So of course, I had to eat it.



 
 
 
 

After braving the crushing, overwhelming, nose-smashing, throat roasting spice (and taking the worst photo of myself in the history of image capturing devices), I reached the final bite. With all my American pride, I mustered my muster and reached one last glob of curry and one forkful of rice to my lips. It was so momentous that I had to record the very last bite before I flipped the kill-switch!

What challenge would be complete without a shoutout to my online all-acceptance, no-rejection poetry journal, O Sweet Flowery Roses? Yes, there was a time before Good Hurts dominated my internet use.
TRUE GLORY WAS MINE!

 
 
 
AND I got a free* beer and certificate** of completion!
If you're on the lower east side of Manhattan and you love to destroy yourself, you've got to check out Brick Lane Curry House. Tell them Good Hurts sent you! As long as you can survive the $2.50 porno music in the background, you can learn all about their delicious restaurant and Phaal challenge here.
Make sure you check out the P'Hall of Fame, where I am eternally e-shrined.


*for the cost a massive curry, plus my girlfriend's meal (I am very nice).
**the greatest achievement a human being can hold.
