Yes, back in the 70s they had a $2 lunch special. As a poor NEC student I had to think twice about spending that much money (hey, a cup of coffee was what, $.35?) but it was worth it for the memory.

Slightly OT, last summer a fanatic chili-head gave me a home-grown bhut jolokia pepper -- that's 1,000,000 (one million) Scoville units. Infused in a half liter of white wine vinegar it made an awesome liquid heat source.

What was the name of that thick yellow hot sauce from East Coast Grill? I remember liking the copy on the bottle better than the sauce itself.
