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!
