Chefs will also win the chance to have their award-winning chilli as a special on the All Star Lanes Luncheonette Menu.

The efforts of chilli lovers and food fans armed with Scotch bonnets, jalapenos and Tabasco will be scrutinised by top London food writers and chefs including Foodtripper Editor, Helen Hokin; Simon Davis; Dominic Midgley and William Sitwell. Competing for the title is Foodtripper columnist and ex-Masterchef contestant, William Leigh.

 

To add to the fiery food fun, the New York comedian Andrew J. Lederer will be compering with his quick wit and chilli-loving tongue.
