Do you love ridiculously hot food? If so, we found a night of fun for you!

Back in the Spring of 2021, Todd Simcox and I had the pleasure of hosting a Best English Muffin Pizza Contest, at the fantastic Provender Kitchen & Bar, located at 110 Main Street, in Ellsworth. It was a really fun experience, at one of the best restaurants in the State of Maine.

They are a unique dining spot, and they are hosting a very "unique" event coming up on Monday, October 27th, just in time for Halloween.

Sure, there are all sorts of different things happening for Halloween in the area, but they usually don't involve Halloween themed food.

Maybe you have watched an episode of "Hot Ones" and think you can handle the heat, if this is true, imagine a night of devilishly hot bar snacks, that may have you reaching for a cold glass of water. Sound interesting?

Coming up on Monday, October 27th, from 4pm-8pm, Provender will host their 6th Annual "Hell Night" with a incredible menu full of spooky and flaming hot appetizers

Provender chefs craft bold, flavor-packed dishes featuring some of the world’s hottest peppers — from ghost and scorpion chiles to the infamous Carolina Reaper.

This isn’t for the faint of heart — it’s for the brave, the adventurous, and the spice-obsessed.

Expect creative, chef-driven dishes that balance fire with flavor, plus a few surprises from the bar to help you cool down

Check out this menu of scorching hellishly hot treats:

Jerk Chicken Wings-scotch bonnet, ginger, lime

Chemical Chilli-All the peppers

Mac n' Cheese-Korean pepper paste, pepper jack cheese

Sichaun Hot Pot Broth-Thai chilli, cilantro, black vinegar

Pulled Pork-Dr. pepper, chilles in adobo

Sausage Peppers & Onions-No explanation needed!

Chili Chocolate Mousse-spiced whip cream

If all of this whets your whistle, check out their webiste for details and reservations
