My dad was visiting me in Memphis and he was able to join me and help film my attempt at my biggest food challenge victory ever! We headed over to J Mack BBQ in Murray, KY where they offer a BBQ Nacho challenge platter. Challengers are given 45 minutes to eat the 7-7.5 lb platter and if successful, the meal is free, you get a t shirt and your name goes up on the wall of fame!
The platter is a triple order of their BBQ nachos. The nachos are served over a bed of baked beans and a base of waffle chips, topped with award winning pulled pork, their signature BBQ sauce, coleslaw, nacho cheese jalapenos and sour cream. I hate sour cream but I forgot to ask if I could leave it off, and when I remembered to ask them, they had already finished making it! That added an element of adversity to overcome on this huge challenge :)
The taste of this challenge (despite the sour cream) was absolutely delicious. Living in Memphis, I know a bit about BBQ and this was some serious BBQ. I especially enjoyed the waffle chips as a change-up from typical tortilla nacho chips. The sauce, cheese and beans made the dish very moist and easy to eat quickly. Very nice job on the dish!

![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.

![8 lb Baby Food Fundraiser Challenge!
Only 2,040 total calorie count for 8 lbs of food! Lets 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! If you dont have your own local organization in mind, I invite you to donate at

![Fams Brewing Chicago Deep Dish Pizza Challenge!
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 Fams Pizza Challenge allows challengers to select one of their specialty deep dish 14 pizzas. Its unclear if youre 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 Ginas regular meal looked solid. The pizza was excellent, every bite. The crust wasnt too chewy or dry, just... a lot haha

![Village Elder Pizza Challenge!
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 didnt 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. Theres no better feeling :)
