One giant pancake wouldn’t be enough for this challenge, but top it with a 10-egg scramble of your choice of 4 toppings along with cheese and potatoes and now we’re talking! The Grand Slam Challenge at Batter Up Pancakes seems to be one of the most delicious mixtures of breakfast food you can imagine. On a regular day this thing would feed between 4 and 6 people, but in order to complete the challenge you must attack it all by yourself and pray that you come out alive. Seriously though, this thing is bigger than a pizza!

I’m a big fan of breakfast food so these breakfast challenges always appeal to me more than 10 pounds of beef or 30″ of pizza, I may have to make a drive up to Wisconsin to check out The King (or Queen) of Johnny V’s Challenge in West Allis, WI. This challenge is definitely fit for a king (or queen) and I am in awe of anyone that can even come close to finishing this. The starch in the pancakes alone would be enough to put me down, I can barely finish 4 pancakes at iHop let alone 8 of them with a side of 10 eggs! So if you’re up for the challenge and love breakfast food as much as I do, this is the challenge for you.

Pancakes have always been a favorite food of mine, but eating 3 14″ flapjacks that are bigger than my face seems like an impossible task and last night’s Man v. Food may have proved that. Only 7 people out of the 250+ that have attempted the challenge have been successful, and Adam was not one of those 7 (it was 4 at the time of taping). He seemed to be on a roll, but hit the 90 minute time limit with about 1/4 of the pancakes left. It was a good attempt, but not good enough. If you think you have what it takes to complete this challenge you’re going to have to do a little traveling as the restaurant is out in Hawaii, but if you do head out there let us know how you did!
