King or Queen of Heat Fundraiser!

Each year hundreds of brave, if somewhat foolhardy, souls eat Great Balls of Fire to help Oregon Energy Fund pay winter heating bills for families in need across the state. The Toughest Tongue, King/Queen of Heat and other contests induce crazies and competitive types to eat more than anyone ever should. But it’s for a good cause and lots of fun to watch. Local TV, radio and social media often give the events colorful coverage.

The challenge sounds simple: Eat all 5 Great Balls of Fire with Sunshine & Pain hot sauce. If you are successful, your photo will be immortalized on Facebook and our Hall of Flame. Over the years, hundreds have done it including Travel Channel’s Man vs Food. But don’t be fooled. Read the warning sign. Think it over. This is seriously hot stuff. Gastrointestinal distress is pretty much guaranteed. We’ll make you sign a release because no one walks away unscathed.

Congrats to our big 2017 winner Larry Ferguson, who made a return appearance from his 2011 win. Larry threw it down with a whopping 22 Great Balls of Fire!
