Man v Food Nation is in full swing and this week we got to see a guy take on a monster ice cream sundae. If you haven’t watched the episode yet I’m going to ruin it for  you, sorry. This guy was extremely impressive in his attempt to take down 15 scoops of ice cream, plus toppings, in an hour. He was so impressive in fact, that the only reason he failed is because he was too fast. If you’ve ever heard that saying that you can’t drink a gallon of milk in an hour, well this is the same idea. There’s just too much dairy there to consume in under an hour, but he would have had it had he not eaten 90% of the sundae in 15 minutes. Either way it was an impressive showing and I have no doubt that if he tried it again and paced himself he’d have no problem finishing it off.

Last night on Man v. Food Adam ventured to our nation’s captial, Washington DC, to check out some of the local cuisine and attempt the Colassal Challenge at Chick & Ruth’s Delly. This challenge has 2 parts, the first part is 6 pounds of milkshake served in one of the biggest glasses I’ve ever seen. And to accompany your giant milkshake is your choice of either a 1 and 1/2 pound colassal burger or sandwich (not both). Each one of these sandwiches could be a challenge in itself, but they had to throw in the milkshake. 6 pounds of dairy and sugar inside of me would not sit too well, but then having to eat a huge sandwich on top of it, that’s insane. This challenge weighs in at over 7 pounds so I hope you’re hungry, Adam apparently was as he was only the 3rd person ever to complete the challenge at the time of taping.

In season 1 of Man v. Food the  Malt Milkshake Challenge at Crown Candy Kitchen did not go over well with Adam. 5- 24 oz milkshakes in 30 minutes is quite a bit of dairy to be taking in. Have you ever tried to drink a gallon of milk in an hour? Well, if you haven’t I’m sure you still know the outcome, it’s not good. Not to mention the brain freeze you’re going to get from chugging ice cold milkshakes as fast as you can. My stomach is getting queasy just thinking about it. So if you’re not lactose intolerant and want a good ice cream challenge head on down to Crown Candy Kitchen in St. Louis and give the Malt  Milkshake Challenge a run for it’s money.

Here is the challenge that was featured on last nights episode of Man v. Food, The Kitchen Sink! Adam demolished this huge tub of ice cream to become the 5th person to ever do so alone. Normally made for up to 6 people, the kitchen sink is about 2 gallons worth of ice cream plus toppings. This is definitely not for the lactose intolerant (or the faint of heart).
