You know how the saying goes: if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Alternatively, if you can stand the heat, get into the kitchen - Poe's Kitchen, where chef Brian Poe is challenging heat-seeking gluttons-for-punishment with his Ghost Chili Margarita ($16). This spicy little number, which combines ghost chilies, Trinidad scorpion chili sauce, habanero powder and red pepper flakes, debuts on February 2nd and your mission, should you choose to accept it, is simply to polish one off. You've got an hour in which to return the glass to the bartender with nothing but ice - no help from your friends and no heat-dulling agents. If you're up to the task, you'll get a t-shirt, a bowl of ice cream and a spot on the wall of glory. Should you fail, you'll get a t-shirt, a bowl of ice cream and a spot on the wall of shame. Pop in on the 2nd from 7:00-9:00pm for the launch event - there'll be spicy small plates ($10) and you'll get to see how the first few brave souls fare. Call 617.859.7772 for more info.
