Have you ever done a food challenge? Any good challenges in your area?
I've been watching a lot of BeardMeatsFood on youtube lately and now I'm interested in tackling a food challenge. I've only ever chugged syrup so this would be a new experience for me.
Once ate a 72 ounce steak with sides. The hardest part was my jaw muscles hurting towards the end.
Took down two boxes of thin mints during a 5-10 shift at McDonalds….ate 80 cookies and kept all my duties. Had great breath.

Damn boy!
Is that the Big Texan in Armadillo or wherever?
Won an ice cream eating contest once. 86 ounces in 10 minutes, vomit within 15 minutes = disqualification. Both other guys who hit 60 ounces threw up.
Ate a hot burger at some restaurant in Louisville once. I can no longer remember the spot but I got a free meal and a t-shirt, which meant a lot as a college kid.
I tried the big burger challeneg or whatever it’s called at Uncle Bubs in Indianapolis years ago. It was 2lb burger, weight POST cooking.

No, it was at Texas Roadhouse. I don't think they have the challenge anymore.
You do not need to make reservation for challenge attempts. When you’re ready, we’re ready! Challenge attempts available during all regular business hours. 72-ounce Steak Dinner Challenge Includes: Shrimp Cocktail, Baked Potato, Salad, with Roll, Butter, and of course the 72oz Steak

Gotcha. Reminded me of the Big Texan (if you are ever in Amarillo, go). Someone was trying it 2 tables over and it looked impossible. Sides have to be eaten also lol.

When I was a (fat) kid, we owned a grocery store in the town I lived in. When I'd walk to the store after school, I'd get in the mood for a particular candy. One week it could be Snickers, 3 Musketeers, etc. One day I wiped out a case (36 packs x 2= 72) of Reese's Cups before I went home for dinner and polished off a pot roast.
Most I've ever eaten (drunk) was three 18 oz steaks at a strip club at 1am in the morning.
Not exactly food challenges but those are my stories.

During summers in college I worked for county highway dept. one Friday I brought a dozen donut holes and ate most of them at break and shared a few with the 2 bridge crew guys. They loved them and asked if I’d bring them the next Friday. So the next Friday I brought 3 dozen and at break time I broke them out and the 2 other guys said they had sausage sandwiches and were full 🤦🏻♂️. So I hate 36 donut holes, chased it with a Pepsi and then it got up to 90 degrees and I swelled up like a big toad.

Nice work!
Before Quaker Steak and Lube expanded out from its original location in Sharon PA they had a "challenge" if you ate a whole order of their atomic wings (full order of them was 4 rather than 6) you'd get your name up on the wall.
I did it on a $20 bet way back in college.
I love hot food and will normally order the 2nd or 3rd hottest wings based on which ones have the best flavor.
Those are the only wings I have ever ate that made my butthole burn the next day when they came out.
I’ve had the atomic wings too, not sure I ate all 4. Got a bumper sticker. Was not enjoyable. I think they may have an even hotter one now.
Y’all are nuts. I go medium and regret it the next day!

Only set of wings I ever ate that burned the whole way through. Mouth to stomach to asshole all on fire as they passed through said body part.
Definitely not enjoyable and I eat mango habanero at BWs, Suicides/Buckeye BBQ/Supercharged (they have changed names of their 2nd hottest a few times) at QS&L, etc.
All those are hot but taste good. The atomic just hurt, period.
Whenever we are in a wing place that has an atomic wing challenge my cousin tries it. He is mostly successful. Failed a few times on the 2 minute timed ones.

I love spicy food (chili, Thai food, etc) but I draw the line where it hurts coming out the next day.
