We took a trip all the way from Vancouver, BC to check out the famous 'great-balls-of-fire. If you finish this dish of insanity (deep fried habanero cheese goodness) you get your picture taken and posted on the wall. Make sure you look for my picture when you're there.

My in-laws saw Salvador Molly's on Man v. Food and had to take us there. I love spicy food and had to see if the hype was real. I have never eaten anything that I consider too hot, but the Great B*lls of Fire (City Search will not let me type the word b*lls) were exceptionally hot, especially the sauce. They were the second hottest food item I have ever tasted (the first being my friends home-made habanero salsa). My entree was amazing and the place was just fun, with people mixing and talking to each other. The only down-side is that since Man v. Food featured them, the waitress said that the wait times to be seated have sky-rocketed.

I went here for the first time on a Friday night around 8, it was semi crowded but we were seated immediately. Our server was very friendly and everything he recommended to order was top notch. Our table was ready with a pitcher of water (which I always ask for, I drink a lot of water) and a tray of peanuts, which was a nice touch. We tried the Great B alls of fire. I ate two, my girlfriend could barely finish one. They are delicious, but very spicy. I would recommend getting them right away if you want your mouth to recover in time to enjoy your entree. Otherwise everything is going to taste like it's on fire. (It took me about 10 minutes and a pint of beer to get my taste buds back) We also order the rasta rings, which were awesome. They're not very thick, kinda stringy but delicious nonetheless. I had the Kahlua pork. I've eaten a lot of Kahlua pork in my short time on this earth. This was delicious. It's not as sweet as traditional Hawaiian pork, it almost has more of a latin flavor (it's cooked with onions and red peppers) than a teriyaki/hawaiian flavor, but the pork melts in your mouth and I enjoyed every bite. Get it with the garlic mojo sauce, not the BBQ. The sides were good too, I particularly liked the corn bread which was good enough to not need any butter. All in all, I definitely plan on coming back here. The food was great, as was the service and the ambiance.
