Johnny B. Goode Challenge at Rockie’s Diner

Last night on Man v. Food Adam ventured out to Boise, ID to take on the Johnny B. Goode challenge. This challenge consists of 3 different parts, the first part is a ridiculous cheeseburger topped with a hot dog and pastrami, the 2nd part is a large order of chili cheese fries and finally wash it all down with a large milkshake. And in order to complete the challenge you must finish all of this food, all 6.5 pounds of it, in under a half an hour. If you are successful you get to take home a brand new Fender guitar (or at least Adam did, there’s not much info elsewhere on the web).

Firebrand Chili Challenge at Joe Roger’s Original Recipe Chili Parlor

Last night on Man v. Food Adam attempted to break the record for the most bowls of Joe Roger’s famous Firebrand Chili eaten in one sitting. In order to get your name on the wall of fame all you need to do is eat 1 bowl, but the record currently stood at 5 bowls, but Adam was up for the challenge. The first bowl was a struggle to get through, but he eventually hit is stride and polished off 5 bowls, tying the record and getting his name on the wall of fame. Based on Adam’s facial expressions after taking the first bite, this chili is no cake walk. If you think you can handle some very hot chili and have what it takes to break the record, give this challenge a shot. Or you could always finish one bowl and get your name on the wall.

Great Balls of Fire Challenge at Salvador Molly’s

Want to try some of the hottest cheese fritters around, then head on down to Salvador Molly’s and tell em Jack sent ya. Actually, don’t tell them Jack sent you because they probably won’t know who you’re talking about and honestly I have no clue who Jack is, it just sounded good. Anyways, 5 habanero chile cheese fritters covered in habanero sauce… mmmmmm sounds delicious. But just because they sound delicious doesn’t mean they aren’t hot, to quote commenter Michael “…I felt as if I had swallowed a porcupine dipped in battery acid…”.
