Hottest PEPPER EATING CONTEST

The winners of the Hottest Pepper Eating Contest 2022

Ilyas Günay

Ilyas won the first match at Dutch Chili Fest 2022. No wonder he went home with a beautiful prize.

His response:

“This was one of the toughest races I've been through since 2018 and also my 4th time winning in a row. I really liked how Dutch Chili Fest was organized and the many stands that were there. I really liked it there.”

Jason Landbrug

During the second game of the day, the title went to Jason Landbrug, who beat the other 12 participants as if he was eating snack tomatoes.

At least, so it seems. Of course they were some of the hottest peppers around!

Liliana Carmin Roga

The last victory goes to Liliana Carmin Roga, a Mexican lady who, according to herself, finally found real hot peppers for the first time since her stay in the Netherlands:

"I wanted to eat chili until I cried, because it is something that we enjoy in Mexico, so I said to myself: why not participate in the spicy contest? I was the last to register and I didn't know what would happen there. The first chilies were tolerable, but when round 6 came my body was fighting, participants were leaving and I just told myself in my mind, you can with one more, it was incredible to win."
