Plenty of people claim they have an iron stomach and tastebuds that can withstand anything.

Those very same people who live in Melbourne will hopefully put their claims to the test at this weekend's hot sauce and chilli eating contest.

Welcome to Brunswick is hosting the event that will feature loads of different types of hot sauces, chilli, burgers and beers.

But it will also be putting on a bit of healthy competition to see who can handle the hottest of heats.

You'll be able to purchase your very own local hot sauces, including Melbourne Hot Sauce, Blonde Chilli, Hot Chilli Mama, Hell's Breath Hot Sauce, Grumpy Gary's, Blair's Death Sauce and Uncle Mungos.

Welcome to Brunswick

There will also be the legendary Hot Pocket Shot returning, which is a drink that is so spicy that you have to sign a waiver to try it.

Sadly for the people who want to come far and wide to take on the hot sauce eating contest, entries are now closed.

Forty lucky people who submitted their applications will have to prepare their tongues and bellies for what is to come this weekend.

They will get to taste 10 of the hottest sauces on the planet and they won't be able to have milk or yoghurt in between tastings to settle their tastebuds. They will have to endure every drop of those sauces and try not to pass out.

Much like the Hot Pocket Shot, these brave souls will have to sign a waiver noting they understand the physical risk of eating things designed to burn a hole through a human body.

The last person standing will be awarded with a party keg and will also be given a trophy to commemorate what will likely be a few painful hours sitting on the toilet. God forbid whoever has to live with that person.

The event is this Saturday (April 17) and will run from midday until 6pm at 1 Frith St, Brunswick.
