After a few of those signature shots, what happens first ... your mouth is on fire or you fall off your barstool? Most can handle the fire but a few will fall off the barstool.

Aside from your shot, what else can create a spark? Matches. Just kidding. We have $1.75 domestic beers on Thursday. That’s a good spark. Also we have the best wings on the beach.

What’s the spiciest thing you’ve ever eaten? Ghost peppers.

Do you have ghost pepper sauce for your wings? No.

Would you rather snort a ghost pepper or run into a real ghost? Run into a real ghost.

Do you believe in paranormal sightings? No, not a believer.

Which do you believe is the most likely to happen ... a zombie apocalypse, an alien abduction or ghost pepper monsters? I’d like to see a battle of all three, but I’ve seen some zombie look-a-likes around 2 a.m. at bars.

Is it true what they say, nothing good ever happens after 2 a.m.? Yes, very true.

If trying to survive a zombie apocalypse, which three people would you want to have with you? Chuck Norris, Mike Tyson and my dad.

Why should people come see you at Icons? I serve cold and cheap drinks. We have great prices and amazing food. I like to make sure my guests are having a good time. When you come here, you’re treated as a living icon.
