Hot as a Mutha Monday

[deusinnomen]

So, tonight, an excursion was held. Rob, Andy, Scott and I headed down to the Naperville location of Heaven on Seven for their semi-monthly "Hot as a Mutha Monday" event. Basically, as a back story, Jimmy Bannos (owner and head chef) noticed that a lot of people would come into his restaurant, order his hottest dishes and promptly ask how to make it hotter. Jimmy took this as a personal challenge, and thusly he organized the "Hot as a Mutha Monday" events. The meal cost $35 and included a free cocktail or drink of your choice, and a full five-course meal (plus more!) is included. An extremely reasonable price for a meal of this caliper!

So, what was the meal, you ask?
