I met up with Ivan THE AVOCADO Mendoza to cap off a great weekend in St. Louis to team up against their Pointersaurus Pizza Challenge!
The pizza is a 28" 11 lb beast and challengers have one hour to eat the whole thing. If completed successfully, the team gets the pizza for free, a picture up on the wall of fame, and $500! You have a choice of 2 meats or 4 veggies for the toppings. We went with peppers, onions, tomatoes and olives.
There were some pretty accomplished eaters up on their wall of fame. Were we able to join the ranks of the great?

![Carriage House Omelette Challenge!
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 Normas 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?

![GIANT Taco Pizza Challenge in Chicago! - Roots Handmade Pizza
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 its 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!
