Mike Jack ate 50 of the hottest chile peppers on the planet in six minutes and 49 seconds, setting a record that Guinness World Records created just for him.
“I wanted to do something that was bigger,” he said, nothing that he’d already broken records for eating the most peppers in two or three minutes. “I felt like I was known as the speed guy who could eat peppers fast but maybe not the guy with the endurance. I wanted to show I could eat a massive amount.”
But 20 years ago, specialty hot sauces weren’t easily available, he said. He went to a local Mexican restaurant called Under the Volcano, which had El Yucateco hot sauces. They were the first hot sauces he’d found that were made from habanero chiles.A familiar pattern emerged. Jack would start by adding a few dabs on whatever food he was eating. When his tolerance grew, he added more until hot sauce once again flooded his plate, leading Jack to seek out something even spicier.
“Eventually I could just use some of the world’s hottest hot sauces like people use ketchup,” he said. Seeking ever higher mountains to summit, Jack started looking into Guinness World Records related to eating hot peppers. He discovered that most of them centered on how fast someone could consume small numbers of them.Jack started practicing speed eating and, in 2019, broke his first Guinness record by eating three ghost peppers in less than 10 seconds. He went on to break 11 more and still holds five of them. Last year, Jack set his sights on something more ambitious.
