Mystery Pepper Plant

Does anyone know what type of pepper plant this is? I was given this plant as a gift from a restaurant in Upstate NY, and the only thing that I can remember the chef saying is "Hungarian." I looked up Hungarian peppers, but the only one I could find was a wax pepper, but this is much hotter than those.

Thanks everyone

Thanks everyone. Any advice on blossom drop? added some plant food and that helped a bit

That plant gets pretty big peppers so don't expect every blossom to set fruit, the plant couldn't carry it all. Some blossom drop is normal, if you have a decent fruit set, and it looks like you do, then don't worry about it.
