Re the hot sauce at Paloma: I have an enormous tolerance for heat, but that is about the hottest I've had in a restaurant. Stick the tip of the fork in and press the tines to your tongue. Ouch. The two times I've been to Paloma, I've really enjoyed it. The soups are great as is the lobster relleno. A touch of the hot sauce on anything makes it even better.
