- Could you eat a 105 pound cheeseburger? - Let's talk about that.
♪ (intro music) ♪
- Good Mythical Morning! - As you know, we here at GMM
are no stranger to the food challenge, but we don't typically focus on quantity.
- We leave that to the ridiculous -- - Hmm.
marketing schemes of restaurants. And today, we highlight some of the most
ridiculous restaurant dishes that are food quantity challenges.
And you probably have already noticed that we've got the same T-shirt on.
- Yes we do. - Look at that. Total coincidence!
Let's move right along. No, actually this is a shirt that's gonna be available
for you to purchase that will benefit an amazing charity.
We will talk more about that after we go through these.
So let's get started with the first one. This is the Gran Chingon Challenge.
This is in the Don Chingon restaurant in Brooklyn, New York.
- Basically it's to eat a 30 pound burrito - Oh.
in less than an hour. Link, I have a 30 pound bag of sand here for reference
- I did see that. - that I cannot lift
- because my back is hurt this week. - So I have to lift.
- Would you please lift that? - (Link groans)
- And he's not exaggerating. - (thud)
- Oh gosh. That's -- - That's crazy!
- You gotta eat a burrito -- - Are you serious?
You have to eat a burrito that is this big in less than an hour.
But let me tell you what's at stake, Link.
- Look at that. Look at my guns. - And that's not a euphemism for anything.
- Look at that guys. - So basically this thing takes two hours
to make. It co -- How much do you think this thing costs?
I mean, you just held the bag of sand. How much do you think the burrito costs --
- Ahh. - that weighs that much.
- 85 dollars? - 150.
- 150 dollars? - Close, but no cigar.
But here's the thing: if you eat this burrito in less than an hour --
- Then you're dead! - Not only do you get free food for life,
but you get to own ten percent of the restaurant!
You become a ten percent owner in the restaurant.
I don't know if I'd want to be a business partner with anyone who could consume
- a burrito that big. - I don't know what kinda -- yeah exactly.
That's not a healthy working relationship.
"Why is he in this deal?" "Well, he ate the burrito."
- (laughs) - Hey! I don't know.
Vic Robey the owner says, "You're way beyond getting your name on the wall.
You're getting the wall." (laughs) "You're getting the wall!"
- I got another one here -- - Hasn't happened yet,
just started in October 2015. Nobody's done it yet.
Umm, the Inferno Bowl Challenge in Nitally's ThaiMex Cuisine
in St. Petersburg, Florida. The challenge is you have to consume
- the entire 48 ounces of soup -- - That's a big soup.
in less than 30 minutes. I mean, that is a huge bowl.
- It contains broth, noodles, veggies -- - That's a huge bowl.
12 different spicy peppers, including the ghost pepper.
- Which, yeah. It's hot, but as we - Ahh.
- have proven, it's not a big deal. - No.
(gasp) (hiccup) (burp) (gag) (hiccups) (gag) (screams)
- We could totally nail this -- - Easy!
Except that it costs 50 dollars. That's the only reason why I'm not
- gonna do it. - Oh. Mm. Uh-oh.
Your prize is a free meal, so they refund your 50 dollars.
You get a picture on the wall, and you get a progressive jackpot
of how much money is in there from other people failing.
- Okay. - There were 221 challengers,
and then the 222nd challenger was the first person to actually finish the soup.
- 222. - Do you know what his technique was?
- He bathed in it. - No, he ate all the solids and then
he funneled all the liquids into a big two liter bottle and then drank it all.
- Oh. Smart! - I guess? I don't know.
Yeah, definitely! You gotta have a technique, man.
I don't know what technique you're gonna have --
- I guess it did work. - For the 8th Wonder Challenge.
This is Clinton Station Diner in Clinton, New Jersey.
You have one hour for a team of up to ten people
- to eat a 105 pound cheeseburger. - That's huge!
There it is. It is actually the largest cheeseburger in the world, Link.
Set the world record. I would have thought the biggest cheeseburger in the world
would have been bigger than this honestly, like as big as a house, but no this is it.
105 pounds. You do not have to eat the crown. The crown is just decoration.
So ten people. Okay. Nine of your friends. That helps a little bit.
You gotta split the cost between the ten of you: 260 buckaroos for this thing.
- That ain't a cheap cheeseburger, son. - For the size it is.
But you know what's at stake? You can win 5,000 dollars.
That's 500 bucks each; do a little math there.
- Do I have to? - Many teams have tried, and no one
has ever conquered this challenge. And this puts this into perspective.
- How would you even start? - Do you -- well, probably a knife.
- Probably divide it up into ten pieces. - Face first.
Do you know how many calories are in this thing?
- Uh, ten people... 25,000 calories. - 160,000 calories.
- Ooh, I was off by a factor of four. - That's 16,000 calories per person.
That's like a week's worth of food in one hour.
- Yeah, -- you should be sad about that. - Good luck. Hasn't been done yet.
Alright let me give you another one: Fat Sal's Deli's Big Fat Fatty Challenge.
- Um, it's in Los Angeles and San Diego. - A lot of fat in there.
Choose your poison. The challenge is eat the entire Heart Attack Hoagie
in less than 45 minutes. This thing is 27-inch garlic bread.
- Mmh -- Yes please --Uh-huh. - With shredded beef, cheeseburgers,
cheese sticks, fried eggs, jalapeno poppers, pastrami,
fried chicken, chili, onion rings, french fries.
- Basically everything in the deli, - I have no problem with any of that!
they raked onto 27 inches of garlic bread. The prize is you get it for free.
- Oh, good! - And you get to create a custom sub
- and name it. - Oh. That is pretty good.
- So you can have the Rhett Sub there. - Oh, I can? I'm up for it?
Guess who the owner of the restaurant is.
- The guy who played Face on A-Team. - (laughs)
I've always thought he went on to bigger and better things.
I would -- no. It's Turtle from Entourage.
- Oh, okay. - Which fits his character.
- Wow! - Just throw everything on the sub.
That's not an impression, 'cause I don't have one of Turtle from Entourage.
Uh, ok. The 15 Dozen Club Challenge in the Acme Oyster House in Louisiana.
Basically you have to consume 15 dozen oysters, that's 180.
- 180? - In one hour. Okay, a couple rules:
You cannot choose the oysters. Apparently some people do.
You just gotta eat the oysters they put in front of you.
You cannot vomit. However, you can take trips to the restroom,
but you will be accompanied to make sure you're "not making room for more oysters".
- Which -- I mean, there's a couple ways - Egh.
- to make room for more oysters. - (laughs)
There's a couple of orifices that I can think of.
- Egh! - So I don't know... Technically, do they
follow you into the stall to see that you're only peeing, or what ends
- it's coming out of? - I'm not gonna answer that question.
We didn't get those details. You think anybody's ever done this?
Yeah; I'm having a hard time thinking this one is -- you'd have a hard time with it.
- Yeah. - You're having a hard time thinking
- people are having a hard time with it? - Yeah!
- Inception. Yes, it's actually not that - (laughs)
- hard to do. - Hard time inception.
Lots of people do it. And just to put this into perspective, competitive eater
Sonya Thomas once ate 46 dozen Acme oysters from this place,
that's 552 oysters, in ten minutes. So you can eat 180 --
Oh yeah. They slide right down in the gullet.
-- in an hour. But hey, you get the oysters for free.
- And you get a T-shirt! - And we can give you another one.
- We love T-shirts! - The Fire In The Hole Challenge,
Munchies 420 Cafe in Sarasota, Florida, you eat ten "Fire In Your Hole" hot wings,
- Woah, your hole, huh? - In less than 20 minutes.
- They're made from -- - You put 'em in the mouth though, right?
They're made from -- yes. They're made from chicken wings with --
They're made from chicken wings? They're chicken wings made from chicken wings!
- (laughs) - Stop the presses!
They've got habanero peppers, hot sauce, cayenne, chili powder, crushed red pepper,
- garlic, and ghost pepper extract! - Oh.
- Ooh. The devil's spit. - (laughs) Yeah, that's gonna be hot.
Basically what that is. As we've established though, we don't have any
- any problem with ghost pepper stuff. - No, what?
(screams)
20 dollars, you have to eat these. Now Adam Richmond from Man v. Food,
- he did attempt this -- and uh, - Yeah. I saw this episode.
Okay, well then how many wings did he eat?
I can't remember, but he got like six. He got like half of 'em. six.
- He only got two. - Oh.
- So what does that tell you? - I didn't watch closely.
He said it's the hottest thing he's ever eaten.
You're not allowed to drink milk while you're doing this, so...
- I wouldn't go for that one, guys. - Okay, the Kitchen Sink Challenge,
San Francisco Creamery Company, Walnut Creek, California.
Basically, this is one that resets every year,
so there's a champion every year who can eat this monster-sized sundae
- in the least time that year. - Okay.
Now, three bananas, eight scoops of ice cream, eight toppings,
whipped cream, nuts, and cherries, all put into a kitchen sink container.
Isn't that cute? You don't have to eat that, though. You just have to eat
the ice cream. It costs $47.95. You cannot share it.
You cannot take a bathroom break. And you know what you win?
If you can consume this thing the fastest time in the whole year?
- Okay just think -- - FREE ICE CREAM FOR A YEAR!
Because you're not gonna want any more ice cream
- for the next year, so this is the - (laughs)
- best marketing thing, ever. - Umm --
And only a few people have actually won this thing.
There's some guy that sets an amazing record at the beginning of the year,
then one person might beat it. What do you think the record time
for this is, this year so far? Eating that thing?
I mean, I can't eat ice cream fast, but I'm sure there's people that can.
- I'm gonna say six minutes. - 20 minutes and 37 seconds,
- Oh. - By Jamie "the Bear" McDonald.
"You hear about what the Bear did the other night?"
The coldness does it for you. Now I've got one more that I'm
gonna save for Good Mythical More, and it is a huge pizza, because,
not only am I gonna tell you about this one, we are also going to eat
a huge pizza. That's right. We are gonna do a pizza-eating challenge, but we should
tell 'em about the Oh My Flavors T-Shirts because this is important.
It's not about us selling some merch and making money, 'cause we're not gonna
- give any of this money to ourselves. - That's right, so okay.
Now you may remember if you've been a fan for awhile that --
well you know we eat a lot of weird stuff on this show, and there was one time that
Link was eating something and his only response that he had come up with was,
"Oh my flavors."
(laughs) Gosh! Oh, my goodne -- Oh my goodness!
- OH MY GOODNESS! I didn't expect it! - (crew laughs)
- That is so sour! Oh my flavors! - "Oh my flavors!"
And so we've put that iconic phrase onto a T-shirt!
That's right, it's big, it's bold, it's a lovely shade of mint green,
and it's available for only a limited time.
