Velvet Cream Gallon Challenge! Brett Healey 2021-09-07 | In the peak of summer, I took a unique approach to cooling off!I make my return to Velvet Cream aka The Dip in Hernando, MS to attempt their Gallon Challenge that Randy Santel helped kick off the summer before.The challenge is simple: one gallon of ice cream, any flavor combination you want. The best part is that they have so many options! And honestly, each flavor was amazing, even until the very end which is a rare scenario for a sweet challenge!It was great to have the crowd support from friends, staff and new fans!Music Credit:Ferry Corsten & Ruben de Ronde - Bloodstream [Flashover Recordings]
Taco Bell BLIND Taste Test - Loser buys real Mexican food! Brett Healey 2024-03-04 | My buddy Andy made the claim "Taco Bell all tastes the same" and decided to put his money where his mouth is to buy and prepare all the food for this blind taste test gauntlet where I try to prove him wrong and show him you can taste the difference between items at Taco Bell.Joining me on today's video is my friend Amy who is also a self-proclaimed massive fan of Taco Bell!Music credit: Giuseppe Ottaviani - 8k (30 minute chillout mix)
GIANT Taco Pizza Challenge in Chicago! - Roots Handmade Pizza Brett Healey 2024-01-26 | I was in Chicago for work and headed to Roots Handmade Pizza with some friends and family to attempt their Quad Cities Pizza Challenge!A quad cities pizza features a soft, chewy, slightly crispy dough and it's cut into strips like breadsticks. The pizza for this challenge was a 16" taco pizza with lettuce, tomato, pizza sauce, spiced sausage and a ton of seasoned tortilla chips on top. Also included in the challenge are 5 huge bricks of mozzarella sticks, a spinach and artichoke dip with pita wedges and a mouthwatering slice of fruity pebbles cheesecake for dessert.Challengers have 1 hour to complete the challenge to get a t-shirt and the meal free. After watching Randy and Katina kick off this challenge and making it look easy, I underestimated this massive challenge that carried a lot of flavor fatigue in the pizza!Music Credit: Giuseppe Ottaviani & John O'Callaghan - Cloudsurfer [Dreamstate Records]
2022 Bennys Pizza Eating Championship! Brett Healey 2023-06-23 | In my last Major League Eating contest before my Nathan's Finals debut, I had the distinct pleasure of making my first trip to the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg, VA for the Benny Marzano's Pizza Eating Championship!I got to link up with my good friend and elite eater Darron Breeden at his alma mater AND I even got to see his wife Caroline just before their son Eddie was born :). This was an awesome contest with 2 eaters making their MLE debut and a crowd full of rowdy college students. All the finest things in life. I even got to join for a brief afterparty before heading to the airport!

Shoutout to @FreakEating @Cherish5PoundsBrownMomvsFood @YourManCody Kyle The Hitman Hall and Blaine KoeningThis extremely special event started from nothing and grew to something incredible over a few years, thus becoming one of the most impactful things I've gotten indirectly from my involvement in the competitive eating community.

Village Elder Pizza Challenge! Brett Healey 2022-10-22 | In this food adventure, I travel to Linden, TN to link up with by buddy Kyle "The Hitman" Hall for lunch. Lunch, this time, is a gigantic 28" pizza with grilled chicken, peppers and tomatoes, weighing in at 10 lbs! We have 1 hour to eat every crumb in order to win the meal free, get some t-shirts and gift cards and go up on their very short wall of fame. A couple years prior, the record was set by the great Randy Santel and Brandon Clark and was an insanely fast time, so we didn't bother trying to break that, but instead, just tried to eat quickly and enjoy this awesome pizza.The staff was great here, super friendly and were rooting for us to win the challenge which is always a nice feeling. Also, the locals cheering us on were really cool and therefore, I gave them my gift card prize before heading home. There's no better feeling :)Music CreditProtoculture - Wings feat.

Rhodes Pancake Challenge - No Winners for 26 years! Brett Healey 2022-07-26 | On a random chilly weekend morning, we decided to take a trip out to Medina, TN to Rhode's Family Diner to take on a pancake challenge that has been undefeated for over a quarter century!Although this pancake challenge is relatively straightforward, it had eluded defeat for 26 years until Branimal came to visit and brought his appetite. 5 pancakes, 5 lbs. 30 minute time limit. Finish it and the meal is free and you get the first ever sweet T shirt! Fail and you’re paying a fair price for a filling and delicious pancake breakfast. Sounds like a win win if I’ve ever heard of one!I really enjoyed this challenge especially because the staff was very into it and was rooting for me to win! They also made breakfast specifically for me even though it was after breakfast hours, so that was really awesome of them.Music Credit: Tritonal - Slave (Tritonal & Ben Gold Club Dub) [Air Up There Recordings]
It is time for the ascension. The road to Coney ends... Brett Healey 2022-06-22 | Get hyped. I know I sure am!
THE FAMOUS Whammy Burger Challenge | Massive Jackpot! Brett Healey 2022-06-17 | Huge thank you to my guest editor, my friend Michelle, for this video!After completing a half marathon in New Orleans over the weekend, we met up with the one and only @bigeatermike who was kind enough to arrange this challenge for me at Burgers Blues & Barbecue! I have been waiting a long time to try this famous challenge which has many elite eaters on the wall of fame, such as, Molly Schuyler (who holds an insane record) Geoff Esper, Randy Santel, George Chiger and more.This is a relatively simple stacked burger challenge. Three burgers, each with a 1 lb beef patty, cheese on each layer, lettuce tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup and mayo (eww.) Served within a moat of fries, of course but this also included a shake, but they actually offered me a float instead! Soda is easier than more shake, so I of course went for the float.I must say, this burger was exceptionally tasty. The huge beef patties were well seasoned and cooked perfectly, despite being a little more well done than I would normally prefer during a challenge. The staff was also into it, making this a great experience and I'm glad I finally got to check out this place and attempt this delicious and fun challenge!
Royal Scoop Kitchen Sink Challenge! Brett Healey 2022-05-27 | On a recent trip to Naples, FL where I had the day to myself, I decided to capitalize on that spare time and bike over to Royal Scoop at Berkshire to attempt their Kitchen Sink Ice Cream Challenge!Nathan Figueroa held the record for this elusive challenge, which only had a couple other winners besides him since the challenge was launched years ago. This 6 lb beast of an ice cream serving contained 20 scoops of flavors of your choosing (and they had a lot of amazing flavors to choose from) along with 2 ENTIRE CANS of whipped cream, 4 waffle cones,2 waffle cone bowls, 4 bananas and a generous topping of chocolate fudge, sprinkles and cherries. If you can finish this huge dish fit for the biggest sweet tooth in 1 hour or less, the meal is free!Note I almost dehydrated with a serious electrolyte deficiency on the bike ride back to the hotel, so don't do what I did. That was stupid. Make better choices, but still have fun!Music Credit:Deadmau5 - Arguru 2k19 [mau5trap]
Hotshots Grand Slam Challenge! Brett Healey 2022-05-07 | What a way to kick off the 2022 New Year!After a marvelous weekend celebrating in St. Louis with some friends, we stopped at Hotshots Bar & Grill on the way home to treat them to lunch and a show. They got to witness me taking on the Grand Slam Challenge!The Grand Slam Challenge is pretty much a smorgasboard of pub food of which challengers have 30 to consume to win the meal free and a picture in their hall of fame! The meal consists of 12 boneless wings, 6 crunchy tacos, a bacon cheese patty melt where the buns are grilled cheese sandwiches, a side of fries and a St. Louis style meat lovers pizza. It's a wide spread, but not a ton of food, if you're a veteran food fighter. However, the size of the challenge wasn't the hardest part. The jaw fatigue was excruciating throughout most of the challenge! The thin crust pizza especially fought back and was tough to chew!Despite the restaurant smelly more smoky than I would have preferred, the food was pretty tasty and the staff AND some patrons provided some awesome support!Music Credit:Kernkraft 400 vs. Nero - Zombie Nation vs. Promises (Dash Berlin Dashup)
Rosalitas Kitchen Sink Burrito Challenge | REDEMPTION ATTEMPT! Brett Healey 2022-04-23 | During a trip back to NJ I attempted to stop by TST BBQ to take on their Beast Sandwich challenge, but sadly I forgot to call the day before to confirm, so I couldn't do the challenge.Instead (after getting a flat tire between TST BBQ and Rosalita's) we headed to Rosalita's Roadside Cantina to take on their Kitchen Sink Burrito challenge, which bested me years before!Challengers have only 20 minutes to devour this 5+ lb burrito stuffed with chicken, steak, ground beef, rice, black beans, topped with cheese and salsa and guacamole, pico de gallo and lettuce with a sour cream (yuck) drizzle. If successful, the meal is free and you get a t shirt! Was I able to get revenge on this burrito that embarrassed me years ago?Music Credit:Cannons - Fire For You (Tiesto Remix) [Columbia Records]
Fams Brewing Chicago Deep Dish Pizza Challenge! Brett Healey 2022-03-05 | While celebrating our 1 year anniversary in the city we got married in, Charleston, SC, we paid another visit to a great brewery we went to on our prior visit. But this time, beers and a light lunch was not on our agenda. This time, I was facing off against their pizza challenge!The Fam's Pizza Challenge allows challengers to select one of their specialty deep dish 14" pizzas. It's unclear if you're allowed to pick plain or 1-topping pizzas. When Randy Santel did his video, he said it had to be a specialty one, but my server said I was allowed to choose any deep dish pizza. In either case, this 14" pizza is so deep dish, it actually weighs in at about 6 lbs! Incredibly thick but incredibly tasty. If you can eat the entire pizza in one hour or less, you get the pizza for free and a t-shirt!The staff was awesome, having fun and really getting into the challenge, rooting for me. The beer, I already knew was great here, and Gina's regular meal looked solid. The pizza was excellent, every bite. The crust wasn't too chewy or dry, just... a lot hahaMusic Credit:Radion6 - World of Tomorrow (Extended Mix) [A State Of Trance]
Chompies Ultimate Slider Challenge feat. ERIK THE RED DENMARK Brett Healey 2022-02-13 | To start an amazing trip to Phoenix and Palm Springs the day after the Frutta Bowls challenge and Furnace Fest concert, I had quite an appetite that had to be satiated. And knowing that I was in the domain of veteran competitive eater Erik "The Red" Denmark, we headed to Chompie's Jewish Deli to take on their ultimate slider challenge!The slider challenge consists of 12 jewish sliders with sliced brisket, monterey jack cheese, brown gravy and potato latkes on a challah roll. Each slider is packed and tall and thick, making them the size of a regular sandwich! In the middle of the platter, there is also a mound of fried onion strings. The 30 minute time limit goes very quickly with this flavor and carb packed challenge! If successful, the meal is free and you get a t-shirt!Music Credit:Protoculture - Titan [A State of Trance]

Brett Healey 2022-01-31 | After poking fun at my buddy Max Stanford for a funny American accent he did in one of his videos, we got to talking and decided to team up for a US vs. UK showdown video! To make things even better, we invited the legendary Molly Schuyler along for the collaboration and she decided to join!They made the mistake of allowing me to convince them to do rice cakes as the discipline for this contest and all of our gums and the roofs of our mouths got to pay the price for it.Max's Channel: youtube.com/user/maxtstanford?app=desktopMolly's Channel: youtube.com/channel/UCr7o6DHaB75JwjoC1fIksKA/featuredMusic Credit:Robert B ft.

Brett Healey 2021-12-19 | After an action packed day at the Colorado State Fair, I headed back towards Denver to kick off a fun weekend at Beau Jo's Pizza in Arvada, CO! They boast a team pizza challenge called the "14er Pizza Challenge."The 14er consists of a small but extremely thick pizza that weighs in at a whopping 14 lbs! In the middle is pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, peppers, onions and cheese. Along the rim, is 7 lbs of incredibly dense, crusty crust which is very unique because it has honey baked right into it! But it makes for the most difficult aspect of this challenge, without question.It was amazing to share the table with international sensation, Ricardo Corbucci for the first time!Corbucci's Channelyoutube.com/c/CorbucciEatsMusic Credit:i_o - Castles in the Sky [Armada Music]

Here are the reasons (in order of relevancy)1) To help raise awareness of my buddy Jeremy's St. Jude Marathon Fundraiser2) To challenge myself mentally and gain a sense of introspection/humility3) To celebrate reaching the 1,000 subscriber mark4) To take advantage of some of the health benefits linked to extended fastingImportant links here!Jeremy's St. Jude Fundraiser pagefundraising.stjude.org/site/TR/Heroes/SJMMW?px=5060200&pg=personal&fr_id=131089&fbclid=IwAR2B1YJBWkvc6nfq0lnOcRcCdqjEpDwrAX0OiZn9M2d_7BqrlWzjQ9MSZ98Heavy D's YouTube channelyoutube.com/c/TheAdventuresofHEAVYDMusic Credit:Vangelis - Chariots of Fire [Polydor]Eumir Deodato - Also Sprach Zarathustra (2001) [CTI]
TJs Megabeast Pizza Challenge Brett Healey 2021-11-15 | In this adventure, I once again joined forces with my buddy and budding competitive eater Kyle "The Hitman" Hall. This time, we are taking on another team pizza at TJ's Burger's Wings & Pizza!We had 45 minutes to finish an 11 lb pizza where your choices are either a supreme pizza they call "The Works" or a meat lover's pizza called "The Carnivore." We chose The Works but they threw us a curveball with a delicious, yet salty, meaty pie. Could we overcome the adversity to become only the 2nd team to ever complete this? A free pizza and cool t-shirts were on the line here!Jeremy's St. Jude Fundraiser link:fundraising.stjude.org/site/TR/Heroes/SJMMW?px=5060200&pg=personal&fr_id=131089&fbclid=IwAR2B1YJBWkvc6nfq0lnOcRcCdqjEpDwrAX0OiZn9M2d_7BqrlWzjQ9MSZ98Kyle's Channel:youtube.com/c/KyleTheHitmanHallMusic Credit:The Exies - My Goddess [Warner Chappell Music]

Carriage House Omelette Challenge! Brett Healey 2021-08-17 | On the way back from an amazingly fun weekend trip to Kansas City with friends, we stopped through Springfield, MO on the way home for a bite... Actually, A LOT of bites! The source of the bites is Norma's Carriage House Diner.This was my first ever omelette challenge, so I knew I had to scarf the eggs down as quickly as possible. Fortunately, the meats and veggies they mix into this omelette are almost exactly my favorite things to put into an omelette. The wild card here was that they had a new chef in the kitchen who had never cooked the challenge before, so I wound up being the lucky recipient of a dramatically larger (about 3x more) than usual portion of hashbrowns!With small utensils only and a cheering section full of my peers, was I able to tackle this humungous breakfast in only 30 minutes?Music Credit:Giuseppe Ottaviani - Resonate [Armada Music]
Oceana Grill Pancake Challenge!

Simple Simons The Beast Challenge! Brett Healey 2021-04-15 | Since a water boil advisory derailed our plans for a very special challenge (more to come on that in a later video!) Big Eater Mike and I made lemonade out of lemons and decided to head to Beebe, AR to Simple Simon's Pizza to attempt to become the first team to conquer their Beast Challenge!The Beat Challenge is a team pizza challenge in which a team of 2 people have 45 minutes to eat a 29" pizza. The base requirements are one meat topping, which weighs in the pizza at 11 lbs. Since I was paired up with an all-star eater I decided to get cheeky and up the ante (and the nutrition) by adding 2 veggies, which brought our grilled chicken + tomato + bell pepper pizza to 13 lbs!Winners of the challenge get the pizza for free, a t-shirt, and their picture on the wall of fame!Big Eater Mike's Channel:youtube.com/channel/UCOHE6ZINf2EvXCjVLRIp0EAMusic Credit:Ørjan Nilsen - Iconic (Extended Mix) [Armind]
Papa Murphy Calzone Challenge Brett Healey 2021-04-09 | In this chapter of the Branimal chronicles, I present a rather unique version of a challenge! Thanks to the work of the one and only Brandon Clark, he worked with Ryan at Papa Murphy's of Olive Branch, MS to launch the very first take home challenge I've ever seen. Papa Murphy's is a take and bake pizza place, so the fact that they were able to launch this as part of their business plan is really cool and unique!The challenge consists of a massive 5 lb calzone stuffed with 5 different meats and 4 veggies. The first part of the challenge is to cook it correctly :) The second part of the challenge is to eat this entire bad boy in only 15 minutes! The challenge costs $20 up front but if you're successful, you get a $20 gift card! To acquire your prize, simply post your unedited video, and contact Brandon Clark and Ryan at Papa Murphy's. The challenge is only available at the Olive Branch, MS location and the gift card is only redeemable there, so it's perfect for anyone who lives in the Memphis area and is really hungry!Brandon Clark's Channel:youtube.com/channel/UCb_ifQyIzj3_1UtxWdCtixQMusic Credit:Giuseppe Ottaviani - 8K (30 minute chillout mix)
Frutta Bowls Powerhouse Challenge! Brett Healey 2021-03-31 | In my first challenge of 2021, I took advantage of a day off work to head down to Tuscaloosa to take on a new challenge that Randy Santel had recently kicked off! I was extremely excited because this was by far the healthiest food challenge I'd ever attempted.BEHOLD! The Powerhouse Challenge hosted by Frutta Bowls (Tusacaloose location only.) The challenge consists of a massive 85 oz portion of their Frutta Bowl, which contains an Acai berry/banana base. This is topped with pineapple, strawberry, kiwi, Nutella, peanut butter, honey, and coconut flakes. You also get a savory avocado toast topped with hardboiled egg and sunried tomato pesto spread and a sweet Gigi toast which is Nutella with strawberry slices and cacao nibs. There is also a side of 10 peanut butter protein bites. The challenge also has 3 required drinks: A cold brew coffee, a Green Machine kale based smoothie and a chocolate explosion smoothie.Although I thought sweet flavor fatigue was going to be tough after a while, by far, the most difficult aspect of this challenge was the cold. 85 oz of frozen Acai banana does not sit as gently in your stomach as warm food and I got an extra bonus of sensitive teeth pain throughout the whole challenge!Music Credit:Massive Attack - Teardrop (Bart Classen & Tom Fall Bootleg)
Tom and Chee Redux Challenge Brett Healey 2021-02-15 | Since we were going to Nashville for the Lions vs. Titans game in December, I snuck in a small, quick challenge on the way into town. I've actually done this one waaaaay back when I was just getting started! So this was a nice revisit to see how far I've come in 4 years of competitive eating.Original Attempt:youtube.com/watch?v=h6O0AZUQZMI&t=1sThe Tom + Chee Baker's Dozen Challenge is pretty straightfoward. They service grilled cheese donuts, as a flagship item there. They cut a glazed donut in half, put the cut sides facing outward, and in the middle, they put a pile of cheddar cheese! Challengers must eat twelve of these PLUS one specialty grilled cheese donut (I chose Banana-Rama) in ten short minutes! If successful, the $50 meal is free, you get a t-shirt (or choice of hat in this case) and eternal glory!Music Credit: Bleeding Through - Finnis Fatalis Spei + Declaration [Nuclear Blast]
Big Wick Pizza REDEMPTION Challenge! Brett Healey 2021-02-09 | A mere 5 days after we got married, we were on our honeymoon roadtrip and stopped through Louisville on the way to Indianapolis for a very special reason. I had some unfinished business from a few years ago and I wanted to get revenge on a massive pizza challenge that got the best of me on my first attempt!This 8 lb monster of a pizza can be found at Wick's Pizza Parlor in one of their Louisville locations. Challengers have one hour to consume every bite of this supreme pizza that contains tomatoes, onions, Italian sausage, beef, pepperoni, green olives, black olives, mushrooms and green peppers. The pizza is only 16" in diameter, but at 8 lbs, it packs a very dense punch. If successful, you get a t-shirt, the meal is free, and your picture goes on their wall of fame!Special thank you to the wonderful staff at Wick's Pizza who were very pleasant and supportive during the challenge!Music Credit:T.F.F. & Inner Voice - Kyactus (Original Mix) [Emergent Cities]

KC Finns Burger Challenge Brett Healey 2021-01-16 | In my last challenge as a single man, I took a much needed break from a hefty amount of homework to drive out to KC Finn's in Jackson, TN to take on their Big @$$ Burger Challenge!The challenge consists of 8 1/2 lb beef patties, 16 slices of cheese, lettuce tomato, pickle, onion, mustard and ketchup amassing a 5 lb burger and it is served with 1 lb of fries and 1 required drink. If every morsel is eaten and drank in 30 minutes, the meal is free and you get a t-shirt!This was a very simple burger, with smash style patties and no frills. The meat was very tender and flavorful and the veggies were fresh, which reminded me of a Wendy's burger but much bigger and much better. Charlie, the owner live streamed my challenge and was very cool and happy to host the Branimal for this challenge!Music credit: Armin van Buuren feat.

Lockdown Showdown #2 Cereal Brett Healey 2020-07-18 | Originally, I had no idea how long this series would continue or if it even would be a series, but alas! We're back for episode #2 where I face off against 2 regular people in an eating challenge.I'm joined by Andrew again. He's almost a full fledged competitive eater at this point, having won the Showstopper challenge and put up a great effort in Lockdown Showdown episode #1. I'm also joined by Casey as they team up against me to see who can finish 2.25 lbs of cereal and half a gallon of almond milk first!
TWO Showstopper Challenges! ONE Time Limit! Brett Healey 2020-07-07 | I am joined once again by my buddy Andrew from Lockdown Showdown Episode 1 to join me side by side as we face off against the Showstopper Challenge form 10th Inning Bar & Grill in Southaven, MS!The challenge consists of 4 1/2 lb burger patties sandwiched in between grilled cheese sandwiches for the bun layers and there is also extra cheese and bacon on each layer of burger. You get to choose a side of fries, tater tots, or onion rings with the burger and you get 30 minutes to finish. If successful, you get the meal free, a very cool bright colored t-shirt and a picture on their social media!The total challenge weight was listed around 3-3.5 lbs, so I decided to attempt two challenges in one time limit to up the ante. I weighed each of my challenges at 4.0 lbs each, so the total weight was closer to 8 lbs!Big thank you to 10th Inning for hosting us. The food was delicious and the crowd support and hospitality was highly enjoyable!Brandon Clark's Record Setting Video: youtube.com/watch?v=Pz16yDdoOgc&t=276s
Smoky Joe BBQ Nacho Challenge! Brett Healey 2020-06-19 | For the first challenge back in public after quarantine, I joined my buddy Brandon Clark aka Da Garbage Disposal to kick off a brand new challenge!Betcha Comeback BBQ catered a company cookout at Tri-state motors in Southaven, MS and the owner Joe Woods happens to be a big fan of Brandon. Therefore, he had the cool idea of creating a BBQ Nacho Challenge called the Smoky Joe Challenge!This challenge was said to be 5 lbs but I'm assuming it was closer to 7-8 lbs. The challenge consisted of half a rack of ribs, a pound of pulled pork, a pound of coleslaw, a pound of baked beans, a ton of nacho cheese and bbq sauce and 2 pickle spears all served on a mountain of tortilla chips. Since this was a new challenge, the time limit was yet to be established, but we kind of agreed on 30 minutes as we were going, which seemed to be a challenging but fair time.Brandon's Channel:youtube.com/channel/UCb_ifQyIzj3_1UtxWdCtixQMusic Credit:Nadia Ali, Starkillers & Alex Kenji - Pressure (Alesso Remix)

Let's see how quickly I can eat it all, fruits and veggies.This video was inspired by my best friend, Bill. He conceived that if I ate a 32 pack (8 lbs) of baby food, he would donate the cost of the food to a local food shelter to help with those who have undercome hardship due to the global pandemic. I decided to match his donation amount, then reached out to the viewers to invite them to join! Any amount small or large is appreciated!
