2012 has come to an end, but not before the finder.com.au team tested their endurance to determine who should be crowned the one, true Chilli King.
The finder.com.au team take their chilli very seriously. To warm up for the competition, the entire finder.com.au team made their way over to ShanCheng Hotpot.
Shancheng is known for its amazing hotpot dishes - steaming hot bowls of broth to which you add the ingredients of your choosing. Our tables chose the broth that was half chicken and half spicy chilli. With extra chilli on the side, for those who were feeling adventurous. It was an excellent way to prepare the contestants!
Coming back from a fiery warm-up, nine Chilli Champions stepped up to become the Chilli King. Among them were: Daryll Jann, Jeremy Cabral, William Eve, Fred Schebesta, Adrian Barclay, Matt Corke, David Cheng, Sandy and Claude Moelan.

The Chillies
The competition kicked off with a bang. From round 1 you could see the determination, sweat and pain on their faces. There were a total of 6 rounds with different combinations of chilli with a heat gradually escalated each time.
