We finished up my birthday weekend trip to New Orleans by grabbing breakfast at Oceana Grill on Conti St. in the French Quarter before hitting the road back to Memphis. I was going to cap off the trip by attempting their dessert pancake challenge!
The dessert pancake challenge is pretty simple. 8 pancakes topped with whipped cream, strawberries, banana and chocolate drizzle, totaling about 4 lbs. Challengers have 25 minutes to eat the entire tower of pancakes in order to win the meal free, a t-shirt and a picture on their wall of fame! I love pancakes, so how do you think I fared against this challenge?
I'd like to give a huge shoutout to my special guest editor of this video, my buddy Bryan Rollins for editing the main section of this video. If you're interested in collaborating with him on video edits, please see his social media below!

![Sammy Sues BBQ I Ate The Plate Challenge! RECORD BROKEN!
While in Ohio for work, I stopped in at Sammy Sues BBQ for dinner to square off against their I Ate The Plate Challenge!
This is a rather simple, straightforward challenge but it allows you to get a nice sampling of several of their bbq offerings! The challenge consists of 1 lb of pulled chicken, 1 lb of pulled pork, 1 lb of brisket, 1 lb of baked beans and 1 lb of fair fries. Challengers have 1 hour to consume every bite and if successful, they get the meal for free, a t-shirt and their picture up on the wall of fame. The gold standard trifecta of food challenge prizes!
With this being a challenge with mostly, soft, saucy, food, I decided to try to capitalize on the quickness of the food and attempt to break the record which was 17 minutes. This record was set by someone who I do not know to be a competitive eater, so kudos to them for setting such a fast time!
I thoroughly enjoyed the food, as the flavor was quite delicious. My only complaint was that the baked beans were incredibly hot, but thats something thats usually a good sign. It only is negative if youre trying to eat fast :) Excellent hospitality and crowd support from the Sammy Sues staff and patrons!

![Lo Town Brew Brunch Punch Challenge!
On Labor Day weekend 2020, we stopped in Loretto, Tennessee to take on my first full breakfast challenge that Randy Santel had just kicked off a few weeks ago! Were at Lo-Town Brew for the Brunch Punch Challenge!
The challenge consists of a massive cinnabisc which is bacon, eggs and cheese between stacks of huge cinnamon rolls, weighing in at 4 lbs. just by itself. Theres also a large bowl of sweet southern oats, a french pig sandwich (ham and bacon on french toast) and your choice of a sweet stuffed french toast (I chose apple fritter.) There are three beverages as part of the challenge too: either 3 beers (light medium and dark) from Asgard Brewing or 3 of Lo-Town brews specialty cold brew coffees. Challengers get 1 hour to consume everything and if successful, get the meal free!
