We all know that spicy and hot foods, along with the appropriate beverage, is one way to beat the summer heat. The combination of scoville units, capsaicinoids, endorphins and perspiration are nature's way of keeping your temps down in the summer swelter.
Fried chicken, sauced with those small red Thai chili peppers and sweet chili sauce, along with super chilled beer is one of my favorite ways of beating the heat.
Got any suggestions, both food & beverage?
