The famous (or is that, infamous?) Hell Fire Sushi Roll is made with an assortment of hot things, including a concentrated paste made from four of the world’s hottest peppers. Those who can handle the heat of all six pieces get their picture on the wall and can choose between a T-shirt or a large ice cream.

Finish both in an hour and the meal is on the house — plus you’ll leave $100 richer.
