Hot and spicy food
Photo by Ed Betz
The tongue throbs, the eyes water, the scalp sweats; nothing wrong there.
If there's a problem with spicy food on Long Island, it's in finding it.
Yet no need to despair; you can get your jolt (be it high-voltage, medium or mild) at any of the following places, whose kitchens will ignite to order. Just be sure to let your server know your level of masochism.
