Welcome to the ultimate test of meat, bread, and mettle. We headed down to Deli Nerds in Costa Mesa, CA, to take on the legendary "12 Sliders on a Sword Challenge."
This isn't just a meal; it's a battle against the clock and three pounds of carbs. The mission? Finish a massive array of sliders—ranging from juicy smash burgers to au jus-dipped French dips—plus a mountain of pretzel bites. If we win, the $70 tab is cleared. If we’re fast enough, we walk away with the sword itself.
⚔️ The Challenge Stats
The Goal: 12 Varied Sliders + 12 Pretzel Bites.
The Time Limit: 12 Minutes.
The Stakes: $70 (Free if you finish in time).
The Legendary Tier: Finish in under 8 minutes to win a personalized, engraved sword.
The Weight: Approximately 3 lbs of food.
📍 Location
Deli Nerds
1525 Mesa Verde Dr E,
Costa Mesa, CA 92626
🍔 On the Sword
We’re diving into a diverse lineup of sliders, including:
Classic Smash Burgers
French Dips (with plenty of au jus for dipping)
Signature Deli Nerds creations
Think you could handle the steel? Let us know in the comments if you’d go for the 8-minute sprint or if you’d just be happy to finish at all!
