NOM, NOM, NOM: Red Robin's new "Fiery Ghost" burger may haunt you

The new -- and VERY hot -- Cry Baby burger from Red Robin.

Red Robin, purveyor of gourmet burgers and bottomless steak fries, recently introduced what could be one of the hottest hamburgers in the country.

With the introduction of its new Fiery Ghost and Cry Baby burgers, the restaurant chain claims to be the first to use the ghost pepper, one of the world's hottest chile peppers, with a Scoville heat-unit measurement of 855,000-1,000,000. I have absolutely no idea what that means, but let's just say it's pretty freakin' hot.

Need a comparison? A typical jalapeno pepper falls between 3,500 and 8,000 Scoville heat units. So the ghost pepper will make you wanna slap your mama because you'll hope she'll haul back and slap you to death. Or something dramatic like that.

Anyway, the Fiery Ghost features fresh-cut and fried jalapenos on top of pepper jack cheese, while the Cry Baby has crispy onion straws tossed in a sriracha dry seasoning with even more onions sauteed in hot sauce, plus pepper jack cheese and ghost pepper ketchup.

It's about $8, and that includes free refills on the fries.

Red Robin operates one location each in Tulsa, Owasso and Broken Arrow. For more, check out their web site.

Peace, love and hundreds of thousands of heat units .. XOXO

While other kids were watching "The Smurfs," Scene Writer Jason Ashley Wright was tuned in to "Style with Elsa Klensch." By fourth grade, he knew he wanted to write, and spent almost three years publishing a weekly teen-oriented magazine, Teen-Zine -- circulation: 2. After earning a degree in journalism from the University of Southern Mississippi, he became the medical reporter and teen board coordinator for the Hattiesburg (Miss.) American, a Gannett newspaper. Eight months later, with visions of Elsa dancing in his head, he applied for the fashion writer position at the Tulsa World, where he began working on Aug. 3, 1998. He is now a general assignment reporter for Scene.
