In today’s episode, I’m in Chicago, Illinois for the very first time, heading to Cheesie’s Pub & Grill’s Lakeview location with my friend @scotteats to take on their massive 8lb “Mega Cheesie’s Challenge.” This beast is made up of five of their signature sandwiches—The Frenchie, The Tenderizer, The Mac, The Popper, and The Balboa—all stacked together and served with a full pound of fries. The rules are simple: finish it all in 30 minutes and you’ll score your $75 meal free, a t-shirt, and a $100 gift card. Also to note, bring friends to cheer you on, and you’ll earn an extra 10 minutes for each one!
