Chao Urban Asin Eatery, Angry Crab Shack, and El Palacio are among the East Valley restaurants participating in the inaugural Scottsdale Spice Culinary Event.
From 6-10 p.m. Saturday at The Venue Scottsdale, chefs will compete with their spiciest dishes to advance to the World Food Championship in Las Vegas.
Angry Crab Shack, for example, will serve a dish of sausage, shrimp, potatoes, and scorching “scorpion sauce.”
Burgers N’ Fries in Scottsdale will have its Arizona Burger stuffed with jalapeños and topped with fried Serrano peppers and a chipotle aioli.
General admission to the 21-and-over event is $50, which includes food samplings (while supplies last) and seven drink tickets.
