About
Plechová Huba is an ultimate degustative event which lures hundreds of chilli lovers to Prague every year. As first in Czech Republic we have organized a contest where contestants could compare their endurance over various food with raising spiciness. Event became so popular that this year we are organizing 14th sequel and people all around Czech Republic cant wait for the registration to start. Plechová Huba is not just a brutal contest though! - Its happening where you can talk about chilli, share experiences, exchange seeds, buy special sauces and enjoy a nice afternoon with chilli!
We admit that we don't pay much attention to this website, lately, but for news you can follow us here on Facebook!
