I took a trip home a few days after my birthday for a wedding and to visit family. I wanted to take advantage of being in NJ and do a food challenge that I had some history with! I got off the plane and headed straight to The Ainsworth in Hoboken, NJ to take on their infamous Mac Attack Burger Challenge!
The challenge, weighing in at about 5 lbs. consists of 3 massive burger patties, 3 massive panko crusted mac and cheese patties, a bun for each burger, a LOT of cheese, and even more mac and cheese. The burger is served with fries and 2 pickles. If everything is eaten in 30 minutes, the meal is free and your picture goes up on the wall of fame!

![ENORMOUS Pho Please Challenge!
While visiting Austin for Ginas birthday, we stopped into Pho Please for lunch and I took on the HUGE Pho challenge they offer.
It consists of 1/2 lb of beef, 2 lbs of noodles (dry weight; its closer to 4 lbs cooked) a bunch of veggies (cilantro, red onions, bean sprouts) and 2 quarts of broth. Challengers are given 60 minutes to consume everything in the bowl and if successful, the meal is free and on top of that, you get the rolling jackpot! At the time I attempted it, the jackpot was $100.
I let the pho cool down for about 25 minutes but apparently that wasnt nearly long enough, but thats part of the challenge aspect! Enjoy and thanks for watching!

![UNDEFEATED Smash Masters Burger Challenge!
I got a break during a busy weekend of catching up on house chores and renovating my pantry to head over to Smash Masters in Zebulon NC to try to be the first challenger to take down their 12 patty smash burger challenge!
This was a special one because I have been looking forward to the day where my son would be able to see me do a food challenge in person for a LONG time! He and the Mrs. werent the only ones that enjoyed the show... the staff at Smash Masters really had a great time watching me attempt the undefeated challenge and they were quite supportive, which was highly appreciated!
The challenge was a pretty standard stacked burger challenge: 12 smash patties of seasoned beef, totaling 3 lbs plus lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup and mustard and a side of waffle fries made for a delicious but hefty plate. Challengers have 30 minutes to empty their plates for the chance at a free meal, a VERY cool custom t-shirt and their picture on the wall of fame.
