What can I say? I'm a hopless ramen-tic... please don't unsubscribe. 🤦‍♂️ Today, I am at Attack of the Tatsu taking on their Godzilla ramen challenge, and it just so happens to be some of the best I have had.

Hey everyone, starting this Thursday, Amber and I will be heading up to the Marshall County Blueberry Festival and I will be doing a few challenges in the Northern Indiana/Michigan areas. This Thursday (8/28) we will be at Kelsey's Steak House at 5 pm taking on their 96oz steak challenge that Scott Eats and Nathan Figueroa recently did. On Friday (8/29), I will be in Ann Arbor (alone) at Tios Mexican Cafe at 3 pm to take on the legendary Mount Nacheesmo challenge made famous by Man Vs. Food. Lasty on Saturday (8/30) at 2 pm I (alone) will be at Falcon’s Nest Family Dining taking on their challenge that Kyle Can Eat recently crushed. This is going to be a very fun and busy week. I may be able to add one more to the schedule like the one at Sunrise Cafe that Semora's Competitive Bites recently did but finding a challenge on Sunday and/or on Labor Day could be the biggest challenge of all! If anything is added I will update! Thank you to everyone and I hope you have a wonderful and blessed Labor Day weekend!

The face I make when I see too many vegetables in a BBQ challenge! I may be in over my head with this one, but if I can defeat Tennessee's largest BBQ challenge, I will become just the second person to do so.

I am at Project BBQ in Johnson City, TN where they have the Ben Franklin challenge. A nine pound BBQ platter loaded with one pound each brisket and pulled p...

Sorry for the late post, I have been a lot more busy this week than I expected. In fact, I probably would have forgot if a couple of viewers didn't reach out to me! Tomorrow I will be at Brooklyn Belle Market at 4 PM to take on their Brooklyn Belle challenge. This is a team challenge that includes an XL pizza, two orders of fries, two milkshakes and an order of funnel cake fries. It's currently undefeated with several attempts. Then on Saturday I will be at Chido's Tacos at 3 PM to take on their burrito challenge. It's loaded with beef, chicken, rice, and beans. I love a good burrito and this one looks great! I'll be alone for both challenges, Amber will be at the Swiss Wine Festival. Wish me luck and hopefully I'll remember to press record before the challenge starts! 😅

I am at in Springfield, MO and I am here to take on their Beast Mode pizza challenge. This is their bigggest pizza loaded with everything. Literally everything! There are 21 toppings including Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, Andouille Sausage, Beef, Canadian Bacon, Bacon, Chicken, Green Pepper, Banana Pepper, Onion, Mushroom, Jalapeno, Tomato, Black Olive, Artichoke Hearts, Garlic, Pineapple, Fresh Basil Leaf, Cheddar Cheese, Ricotta Cheese, and Mozzarella Cheese. There is a one hour time limit to complete this and if I do, I will get the $46 pizza for free, receive a winner's shirt, get a $50 gift card and become the one of the very few who have defeated this massive pizza! This is a pizza that can be ordered to share and eat without doing a challenge. Is this too many toppings? Is this even possible? Thank you to the crew at Big Slice for making this huge pizza and letting me come in and attempt it. This one had it all!

Have you ever had a 21 topping pizza before? Me either. In today's episide, I'm about to find out by attempting the Beast Mode pizza at The Big Slice South - Kansas Expwy. This pizza is what happens when an ultimate meat lovers pizza and an ultimate veggie lovers pizza collide at 70 miles per hour going down the Kansas Expressway.

Tomorrow we're heading back to the 80's at Atomic Kitchen. Looking over the menu has me wondering what sandwich would you choose? I think I'm going with the Breakfast Club Burger or the Dolly. Challenge is at 2PM! Come for the food, stay for the arcade!

08/13/2025

I'll be at Atomic Kitchen taking on their burger challenge. The challenge is to eat one more burger patty than the previous winner. How many should we go for? Current record is 22. Come out and get a great meal, enjoy the show, and play at their free arcade in this 80's theme restaurant! I'll be dressed in the 80's, hope to see you there!

This Saturday at 2pm, Atomic Kitchen will be hosting Eli Lessig, aka "A Guy Named Eli" as he attempts to take down Then Hendo Burger. Eli has a bodacious appetite and has taken down some impressive eating challenges. Check out his YouTube channel at:

I am at Traveler's BBQ in Lexington, TN where I am going to attempt their Loaded Smokehouse BBQ nacho challenge. This nacho challenge consists of half a bag of nacho chips, then topped with homemade baked beans, one pound of Traveler's Tennessee style BBQ pulled pork, 1/2 pound of Traveler's Texas style beef brisket, nacho cheese sauce, pickled jalapenos, and their signature barbecue sauce. This challenge also includes a 1/2 rack of Kansas City style barbecue pork ribs and it all must be finished within the 30 minute time limit to win the $46 meal free plus a spot their Wall of Fame! This challenge has been going on for a couple of years but this is new owner Ricky's first time making this challenge and I am hoping to get a win for both of us! I am trying to join my friends Da Garbage Disposal and Randy Santel as the only winners of this challenge! Big thank you to Ricky, Brylee, and the rest of the crew at Traveler's BBQ for making this delicious challenge! Amber and I had a great time and enjoyed some wonderful food.

Ahh yes, way back in the 1900's. What a time to be alive 🤣. I'd go back in a second!!!

With 90% of the attempts resluting in failure, only my friends Da Garbage Disposal and Randy Santel have completed this Smokehouse Nacho Challenge. 30 minutes is all that separates me from that elusive eternal glory.
