10 Spiciest Foods in Los Angeles for Hot & Spicy Food Day

Some like it hot, and some like it really hot. We're talking about food, and in Los Angeles, with our cliched melting pot of cultures representing themselves vociferously in their cuisine, we have the bold flavors of Thailand, Mexico, China, Japan, India, and even the good ol' American South available to taste. Today happens to be "Hot & Spicy Food Day" and in that spirit, the HuffPo put together a list of their picks for the 10 Spiciest Foods in L.A.
Not shocking (mouth-burning heat index notwithstanding) are the inclusion of Jitlada's Dynamite Challenge or Orochon Ramen's Special 2 (we once put local band The Mae Shi up to the test). You'll get a cheap thrill biting into the hot wings at Ye Rustic Inn and Big Wangs, and if you want to feel the burn at home, how about a jar of Phillipe's Mustard?
See what else they picked for their list, and let us know if they missed out on your favorite Hot & Spicy Foods in Los Angeles. Then get thee to your favorite spot tonight and set your mouth on fire. It's the right thing to do.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
