Food challenges

[aussieidiot]

Has anyone here done a food challenge or keen to attempt one?

I was watching a food show on Foxtel, and the guy struggled to eat a 7lbs (3kg) burrito.

I've had apprentices who love to eat but always bailed when challenges were set.
So has anyone tried the:
1) 10 Cheesebugers in 10 minutes challenge ( Macdonalds)
2) The Pounder challenge (Macdonalds)
3) McGangBang (McChicken wedged in between a double cheeseburger)
4) Krispy Kreme Burger (Burger using Krispy Kreme donuts as buns)
5) Toasted cheese sandwich burger (toasted cheese sandwiches as buns on a burger with the lot)

Has anyone got any others?

I'd be up for the Macca's challenges, but only if I was in the mood.

[Iceman]

I'm up for that! Beat ya all! :P

[Jing]

its often the skinny guys that eat the most HMmmmm

[brasher]

I've eaten 50 mcnuggets like it was nothing once.

Ate 64 Spring rolls on a dare too, spewed my guts up.

If I've been to the gym, pretty much for the next 4 hours my stomach becomes a bottomless pit :lol:

[elim]

its often the skinny guys that eat the most HMmmmm

so whats your record ?


:D :P


challenge sounds good but the food list sounds deadly (hello cholesterol), is there a no vomit allowed rule ? lol

[Jing]

yeah it sounds like certain death lol

[ApolloMkII]

That must've been "Man V's Food."
My cousin told me about that, it's on tonight on Channel 646 at 10:30pm.
If I'm up I'll watch it but I think it is rerun Tuesday evening at 6:30pm. Or so my cousin says.

[chamois]

this one time at band camp we got a guy at maccas to make us a triple double cheeseburger only with mcchicken fillets - epic.

I can do a schooner of beer in .6 of a second if anyone wants to take me on in a skulling competition.

[Lorday]

10+ cheese/Bacon BBQ burgers is noy, but in 10 minutes it could be challenging. I've had 14 in one sitting, drunk as hell, didn't touch the sides. 30 nuggets wasn't a problem either when I was hungry once.

Pounder is amazing as rock in your veins but I've smashed one.

Family box challenge is another I'd like to see be done, not to keen on it myself.

I'd like to see somebody do 10 large chips without drinking (salty)
The cheeseburger burger (double quarterpounder with a cheeseburger in between paddies) in less than 2minutes.

[Purt]

Mates done the 10 cheeseburger one, did well.










Threw up all the way back on the bus...

[brasher]

yeah the family box is next on my "to do list"

[a.davis12]

falafel filled with a tube of wasabi that had been coloured blue with food dye.

36? weetbix

i could eat chocolate indefinitely.

[Lorday]

On the topic of challenges, shots and shotterz. Whats are some of your favourites..

[addmin]

I'm going a family box this weekend... just need to decide which one ...

[Clifton]

2) The Pounder challenge (Macdonalds)

Friend has done..

[jlam]

You guys are NUTs

[aussieidiot]

Going back when I was an apprentice and worked massive hours, I would only get one meal a day, dinner when I got home.
Macca's had a family meal deal with 2 big mac, 2 cheesburgers, nuggets, 2 large and 2 small chips and two 1.125 bottles of drink (one being Dr Pepper and the other Solo I think)
That was my dinner most nights.

Hmmm double pounder seems like a good idea......That's about 900grams of meat

[ApolloMkII]

No way. I'm gettin' sick just thinking about it. Then again, I just had dinner now, a big plate of spaghetti.

[chamois]

Hmmm double pounder seems like a good idea......That's about 900grams of meat

and about 40g of fat and a couple of kilos of artery hardening salt...

[tougemon]

Hmmm this sound like fun, i can do a big mac in 2 bites :D

[addmin]

does anyone want to try for 3 maccas dinner boxes... one of each?

[Clifton]

Just had one, was pretty good!

[ido09s]

I struggle to remember exactly what it was but back about 15 years ago i was going to the gym. My mates and i would leave the gym and proceed to take on Pizza Hutt all you can eat. I polished off 4 large pizzas, i think it was 4 bowls of pasta and numerous bowls of ice cream. After being seated for some time we were asked to leave lol

Between the 3 of us we polished off so much more than $7.95 worth of food each. Between the 3 of us it was about 15 pizzas, 20 pastas and god only knows how much desert :D :D :D

Whos up for this...

1 Kg Schnitzel with chips and sauce of your choice
1 Litre of Beer (Erdinger weissbier or Stiegl Beer)
the record is 17 minutes

i guess the good thing is we're all cyclist so completing these challenges is ok as long as you ride it off for the next 3 months ? lol

People chunder after 1 lol

[aussieidiot]

Well done! Thats an Aussie Gangbang!!!!!!

Considering the Americans have the McChicken and the Double Cheesburger as part of their $1 range, its cheap (and the McChicken is smaller).

How much did this cost?

And I hope you asked for Diet Coke!

[Duckstar]

done the cheeseburgers and pounder....advantage to spending 5 years working for macca's

[TOU93]

Here in canada the double big mac is in list of burgers as a std burger, It even gets a picture of it next to the normal big mac. And they still do supersize over here which is HUGE, considering the australian large is the medium here. No wonder north americans are so fat.

[elim]

when I was in thailand, they had the double big mac (4 meat patties) and double fillet of fish, best was the spicy chicken wings yummy


ok back on topic now....

[Tokyo Drifter]

"start training for enduros" says the guy that can eat a kilo of meusli and a loaf of bread in a day.

second breakfast and second dinner are the best meals of the day.

[k_d]

Pounder is amazing as rock in your veins but I've smashed one.

Family box challenge is another I'd like to see be done, not to keen on it myself.


Done and done. Helps if you don't eat anything all day if you are considering the family box challenge.

[aussieidiot]

I have two Krispy Kreme donuts from last night sitting in my fridge.

I'm seriously considering making the Krispy Kreme burger with the meat and bits being transplanted from a quarter pounder with bacon.

Just psyching myself up for it.........

[elim]

another food challenge I suppose ?

Day 3
Woke up early to check the BigKat

Tssk... :P

[aussieidiot]

Krispy Kreme Burger: Tick

I took the pattie, cheese and bacon from a HJ Bacon Deluxe.

http://i727.photobucket.com/albums/ww280/aussieIDI-07/Food%20Challenges/DSC03555.jpg

At this stage I was nervous!

http://i727.photobucket.com/albums/ww280/aussieIDI-07/Food%20Challenges/DSC03556.jpg

First bite and I was surprised at how good it was.

http://i727.photobucket.com/albums/ww280/aussieIDI-07/Food%20Challenges/DSC03557.jpg

Quite tasty and just a little sweeter than a standard burger. The Sweetness of the donut didn't over power the saltyness of the pattie/cheese/bacon.

http://i727.photobucket.com/albums/ww280/aussieIDI-07/Food%20Challenges/DSC03558.jpg

I'd do that again but not in a hurry.

[elim]

nice work!

[aussieidiot]

McGangbang completed.

Yesterday I was very crook after completing a Pounder.

My colleague had the McGangbang and pressured me into a Pounder.

Oh god. It was awful!

So big it didn't fit in the box

I squished it down and saw all the oil ooze out. not good.

At this point I felt sick

This burger challenge is by far the worst thing I have attempted so far

[Clifton]

hahaha very nice!

We have a 'wiener': American eats the most hot dogs
July 5, 2010 - 11:44AM
American Joey "Jaws" Chestnut has wolfed down 54 hot dogs in 10 minutes to claim his fourth consecutive world title in one of the planet's most bizarre sports: competitive eating. (http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-world/we-have-a-wiener-american-eats-the-most-hot-dogs-20100705-zwi7.html)

[ApolloMkII]

Well I have had a hotdog from Donut King once. NEVER AGAIN.
Wendy's.....well I've never tried them.
Decent is when you have one and it is so good you want another one straight away.

[ApolloMkII]

Do they make these to order?

[aussieidiot]

Do they make these to order?

I walked up and asked for a pounder, the chicky gave me a look to say, did i hear you right, and then entered it into the system.

Cost something in the vicinity of $12 for a medium meal.

[DaveoAU]

Why wouldn't you use toasted cheese sandwiches to replace bread? Just makes sense really.... (http://www.friendlys.com/whats-new/)

Bump!

[aussieidiot]

Hmmm, since this has been bumped,

I'm thinking of trying this.

http://rouse-hill-times.whereilive.com.au/news/story/king-jedi-burger-a-real-mouthful/

Come on Lorday and DaveoAU, lets give it a go.

[ApolloMkII]

Give it a go Aussie! I reckon Adam Richman could eat that easily. Thanks for showing that to us Aussie!

[bikeme]

LOL Awesome thread!

Last year i joined a slurrpy comp 7/11 were holding in Circular Quay. The comp was to finish off a large slurrpy. I scored the second fastest at 31sec, couldve made it into the 20s and came first if i didnt drop the cup..

Pat Bertoletti aka 'Ice Man' came down from the states to promote it, apparently he holds a few eatings records, and finished his large slurrpy in 10sec flat.

[Jing]

i wonder how our iceman will do at that challenge

[Iceman]

Our Iceman will kick-ass! :p

[Lorday]

[Ride True]

Oh yeah, I've heard about those Pho bowls over there... friggin' huge!

[Lemontime]

Where's that pho challenge at back on page 6? I know there's one in Sydney somewhere, is that it?

Is there one in Sydney? I didn't know..

But I think that one (page 6) is in the States.

[Lemontime]

I am certain there is one in Sydney, it's something like $50 and if you finish it you get it for free. I am so keen to try it, you get 1 hour to do it.. The plan is: eat as hard as I can for first half hour, go to bathroom and vom it all up, go back and eat the rest!

HEALTHY PLAN!

Mmmmm....Chilli Dog!!!.....

[ApolloMkII]

Yeah I've gotta get to Tempe to have one or two of those chili dogs.

[Ride True]

Their pies with mash, peas and gravy is pretty nice too.

[thepowercosmic]

Their pies with mash, peas and gravy is pretty nice too.


Mmmmm....Chilli Dog!!!.....

Finally something that I can comment on with some authority...

Yep, their Tiger is damn good...I find that it tastes even better by digging a small well through the mash, peas and pierce the top of the pie then splash with worcestershire sauce and black pepper...!

Then there's the Hot Dog de Wheels...I personally don't like having onions on it and prefer they double up on the chilli con carne. Also, if you don't want to get your shirt dirty, best also to eat with your mouth over your belly...

For some reason i am not a huge fan of Harry's, it just doesnt do it for me which sucks as there is a caravan at Parramatta now

Austrian Schnitzel house is awesome though, wanna see how Duckstar goes there tonight :D I think the bear would kill that challenge

[Duckstar]

I have failed. Got 70% through it. The beer was fantastic, we got the lager finished that before I ate 1/4 of the snitty. I shall return to erase my shame in a few weeks

[ApolloMkII]

What about this KFC "Double Down" burger!

http://img296.imagevenue.com/loc599/th_137625764_KFCDoubleDownBurger_122_599lo.jpg (http://img296.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=137625764_KFCDoubleDownBurger_122_59 9lo.jpg)

Here is what is in it:

The burger replaces the bread with two chicken fillets, has two bacon rashers and two slices of Monterey Jack and pepper jack cheese.

Sliced bacon (7.4 g) = 39.88 calories
2 Original Recipe fillets (192 g) = 335.62 calories
Colonel's Special Sauce (0.5 oz.) = 73.67 calories
1 slice pepper Jack cheese (14 g) = 48.54 calories
1 slice Monterey Jack cheese (13 g) = 45.83 calories
Total: 543.54 calories
Rounded Label Data: 241 g = 540 calories

[Lemontime]

Looks bloody horrible and gross but oh my god I want one..

[ApolloMkII]

If the chicken pieces were actually CRISPY it MIGHT be kinda tasty. If they are fargin soggy greasy fillets then it ain't worth it.

[felixR]

I reckon that would be an awesome snack for The Mont :p

[Lemontime]

In refference to my last post I am about to eat a Double. Wish me luck guys, tell my family I love them..

[Lorday]

I heard harry died mid way through the double down.

[Lemontime]

It was awesome

[elim]

I had it last week, it was greasy to hold but it was awesome tasting ahaha

[Clifton]

Double downs are awesome, I dont see why they're bad. Nearly a good low carb alternative!

[elim]

double down after a night ride at loftus ? hahaha

[ApolloMkII]

Anyone had anything decent to rave about recently?

[ApolloMkII]

http://www.heartattackgrill.com/

With a name of a diner like that, this was bound to happen.

A very real medical emergency has unfolded at a Las Vegas restaurant that offers "Bypass" burgers and "Flatliner" fries.

The doors to the Heart Attack Grill warn that eating off the menu may be hazardous to your health; and the warnings appear to have come true for one diner.

Amateur video has emerged showing a man being wheeled out of the Heart Attack Grill on a stretcher after a medical episode that restaurant employees say looked like, well, a heart attack.

The eatery's owner Dr Jon Basso, who is not a medical doctor, says he thought it was a joke when a waitress told him a customer was sweating and shaking.

"A nurse came to me and said 'Dr Jon, we've got a patient who's in trouble'. The gentleman could barely talk. He was sweating, suffering", he told a local news station.

Despite the serious nature of the incident, fellow diners reportedly thought it was just another part of the show.

"I actually felt horrible for the gentleman because tourists were taking photos of him as if it were some type of a stunt", Dr Jon said, "But even with our morbid sense of humour we wouldn't pull a stunt like that."

A Las Vegas fire spokesman confirmed paramedics were summoned to the restaurant on Saturday evening and a man was indeed hospitalised.

Since opening in October the restaurant has become infamous for its gut busting menu and the scantily clad 'nurses' who serve the food.

A single meal there can exceed 8,000 calories, and customers weighing in at over 350 pounds (159kg) eat for free.

Dr Basso says he heard the man is recuperating. His name and the medical condition he suffered weren't released.

[hewey]

Saw that article, yeesh.

Anyone else watched Man V Food? Some of the stuff on there looks great, but OMG those eating challenges are insane!

[ApolloMkII]

Yeah, I've watched Man V Food. Like you said, alot of the stuff he eats looks nice, but eating ALL that for food challenges is rediculous!
I'd like to try some of the food, but not giant hamburgers or pancakes! Pork ribs, and pulled pork rolls look great!

[ApolloMkII]

Anyone for a bacon burger?

A man has decided to make the most of Burger King's Japanese promotion where you can add 15 strips of bacon to your burger for only ?100 ($1.18). He ordered 1,050 extra slices for good measure, as any sane man would.

The following video contains all the artery-clogging action, as the man braves the bacon in a big way with his $85 snack.

I think the head should be removed and placed on a stake as a warning to others.

Has anyone ever tried eating at Killa Burger Grill?
They look good.

I notice they have something called a Smack Burger.

I ordered a Smack Burger with Coke and Ice.

I had 3 junkies hanging around until they realised it was just my lunch.

[ApolloMkII]

It'd be good if they had some franchises over towards Maroubra, Kingsford, Eastgardens, Matraville way. They'd give McDonalds a good run for their money.
