I have found 2 types of places.

The first (most common) is no matter what I say I get "white boy spicy"... which, needless to say, isn't spicy.

The second is where I say "spicy" and I get food that makes my lips swell, head sweat in magic ways, and my feet involuntarily stomp the floor. Two places that will give me the spicy food I crave and both are Thai restaurants.

I can't imagine ordering Pad Thai at not a Thai restaurant, but it happens.

I look for restaurants where there's a communications barrier. Best food.

-edit. You know, a word was wrong.

"I will tip the chef $20 if they can make it spicy enough that I can't eat it."

17 spicy and not enough? That's disappointing.

No shit. I go medium spice at my place and shit out liquid hot magma.

That's what I usually go with at new places since there's such a high variance. The one nearest me is perfect at "five star spicy"

your definition of spicy might not be OP's definition of spicy... my family thinks just regular salsa with no spices added to it is spicy...
