"One of the spiciest new ramen shops in town offers a bowl of heat meant to challenge diners. Chinatown’s new Ramen Shibire features the Black Hole Challenge with a 24-ounce bowl of koku-dama ramen filled with a quarter pound of pork chashu, two soy-cured eggs, and toppings. Challengers have eight minutes to finish it. The heat comes from a combination of ghost peppers and Carolina reapers. Those who finish in eight minutes get the $35 bowl of ramen for free and their name and photo featured on the anime wall." - Susan Stapleton
