I’m no professional eater, just an old guy from Texas who loves food and enjoys a good food challenge!

Would you rather face a huge food challenge with an hour on the clock… or one slice with only 3 minutes? 😬🍕

Benny’s Big Bite Club Challenge is pure speed: one 18-inch slice and almost no time to think.

THREE MINUTES. That’s all I had. 🍕⏱️

I went to Benny’s Pizza in Beaumont, Texas for their Big Bite Club Challenge: finish an 18-inch slice of cheesy pizza before the 3-minute timer runs out.

A lot of people have tried it. Very few have won.

Could I beat the clock?

Would you try this one?

Pasta anyone? 🍝

My newest Olive Garden Never Ending Pasta Bowl challenge is live. This year the special is only $14.99, and I went in with one objective: see whether I could push past my previous best.

Olive Garden Never Ending Pasta Bowl is back — and for 2026 it’s only $14.99! 🍝

I look forward to this special every year, but I can’t just go in and eat a normal dinner. I had to see how many bowls I could finish and whether I could set a new personal best.

This year also brought two new options I wanted to try: Spicy Alfredo and Crispy Shrimp Fritta.

How many bowls do you think I managed?

I thought I was taking on about a 6-pound burger challenge at Scotty’s Bar & Grill in Katy.

I was wrong. 😳

The challenge is 6 BIG cheeseburgers — each with a 1/2-pound patty, bacon, two fried eggs and the usual toppings — plus oversized sides of fries and onion rings.

After weighing everything, I was staring at roughly 8 POUNDS of food… and the challenge was still undefeated.

Could I be the first to finish it?

$22.99. All-you-can-eat BBQ pork spare ribs. Challenge accepted. 😅

I went back to Red River BBQ to find out just how many of these big, meaty spare ribs I could eat before I hit my limit.

These ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender — but spare ribs are bigger, meatier, and fattier than baby backs, so they add up FAST.

Before you watch: how many ribs are you predicting?

Five pounds. Twenty minutes. And nobody had beaten it. 😳

Today I came to Fogata Latin Fusion in Houston to take on their massive 5-Pound Pupusa Challenge — thick masa stuffed with beans, cheese, and chicharrón.

Finish it in 20 minutes and the meal is free PLUS $40 cash.

The challenge was still undefeated when I sat down. And.. don't underestimate it; it's harder that seems. Did that change?

NEW VIDEO 🌯

This 5-pound burrito looked ridiculous… but it turned into a rice-and-beans endurance test.

Vaqueros Cafe & Cantina ATX in Austin gave me 20 minutes to finish the entire XL platter. The burrito itself was packed heavily with rice and beans—and then they surrounded it with even more rice and beans.

And when it hit the table, it was still scalding hot. 😬

Could I get through all 5 pounds before the clock ran out?

Watch it, then tell me: would you even try this one?

Terry Tackles It traveled from Missouri to meet me at Louie’s Bait Camp in Hitchcock, Texas—and they put a BEAST in front of each of us.

Each challenge had 8 beef patties, 8 slices of cheese, 16 slices of bacon, two grilled-cheese sandwiches for buns, and a pound of fries. We had 45 minutes to finish or pay about $50 each.

These burgers tasted great. Finishing them was a completely different issue.

Who do you think looked more confident before the clock started?

La Cocina de TJ ’s all-you-can-eat Taco Tuesday looked too good to ignore. Then I found out the record was 29 tacos—and I knew I had to take a shot at it.

They had five different taco meats, plenty of hot toppings, and more than enough delicious food to make choosing a favorite impossible.

Could I beat 29?

Which taco would you try first: carnitas, asada, trompo, chicken, or chorizo?
