The Extreme Chili Alliance was created to recognize people that partake in pure Chili eating competitions.    The belt match consists of competitors eating increasingly spicy Ontario grown peppers.  The peppers will keep coming until there is only one person left. No speed round and no sauces.

At Heating up the Capital 2, five competitors started by eating 13 rounds of peppers. At the end of those 13 rounds, four competitors were left and started eating super-hots in a sudden death round.

One by one, the competitors tapped out until 473 grams were eaten by the winner!!    The Extreme Chili Alliance Belt was awarded for the first time to Mike Jack of London, ON.  Mike has the belt in his possession for one year and also received a cash prize and a trophy to keep. 

 The belt remains property of Heating up the Capital and Extreme Chili Alliance and will be returned when the next competition takes place.  This will be at the third annual Heating up the Capital.

 Future plans are to have regional matches across Canada and the rest of the world with the winners coming to Heating up the Capital in Ottawa, ON to compete for the ECA Belt.

The belt was donated by an anonymous benefactor in 2022.
