Two words, "Spicy Delicious" this spicy meal is the work of art, only a perfectionist can accurately prepare the same meal, the same way a 1000 times. I felt sweat on top of my head, and watery fluids coming out of my nose, I knew that only a certain level of spiciness can achieve this. Thanks for the spicy delicious meals #chickenstripes&rice
