Heck, I got caught like that about 6-7 years ago at a local 'beer' 
joint. I tried the crab poppers and got hit with chilis. I don't even 
use regular black pepper most of the time. I checked the menu, again, 
and sure enough, not a mention of peppers, hot, spicy, nada. I sent 
them back and they took them off the ticket. But I was sorely 
disappointed, as that restaurant was pretty good for its type.

I find it easier sometimes to find good, safe food at Chilis, than 
other more regular restaurants (G). Between blackened and and the 
current chili craze, it's been awhile since the 'fad' foods have been 
anything I'd try.
