Connor, Cam, Alex, Irene & Julia rank every fire-breathing dish across the city on Flavor, Heat, Vibe, and Discretionary — then argue about it until someone cries.
Every plate gets judged on four axes before it earns a tier. No exceptions, no favorites — well, mostly.
Does the heat have something to say, or is it just noise? We score the dish underneath the burn.
The actual Scoville reality check — how long it lingers, where it hits, and whether milk is required.
Room, service, patio energy, whether it's a first-date spot or a five-friends-in-a-booth spot.
The wildcard point. Value, surprise factor, bragging rights — whatever doesn't fit above, we put here.
Every restaurant we've survived, ranked. Tap any name for the full scorecard.

Five friends, one shared credit card statement full of taquerias and hot pot spots.
