I Bet You Won't

If you’re a fan of BBQ and live in the Chicagoland area then you’re not going to want to miss this challenge. Uncle Bub’s BBQ has recently launched what might be the most delicious food challenge in the history of food challenges, the Uncle Bub’s Belly Bubster Monster Sandwich. This monstrosity consists of 7 layers of slow cooked BBQ meats which are all made in-house! My mouth is watering just thinking about this thing… So if you’re looking for good BBQ and you feel like you can shove 2 pounds worth of meat into your face, then head on down to Uncle Bub’s BBQ and give this challenge a shot! Since it’s creation in late 2010 only 1 person has been able to take down the beast. Will you be next?

It’s a new year so I figured it was a good time to catch up on any old posts that I may have missed from past Man v. Food episodes and I honestly can’t believe I forgot to post about The Dagwood Challenge! Named after Dagwood from the Blondie comic strip, this massive sandwich is one of the biggest cold cut sandwiches I’ve ever seen in my life. I have no doubt in my mind that there is no way all this food could fit in my tiny little stomach, but for those of you that think you can handle the challenge, check out The Dagwood next time you’re in Ohio and let us know how you fare!

Named after the Missouri Valley Conference Most Valuable Player of 2008, the Adam Emmenecker Challenge is insane. If you like BBQ and you like a shit ton of food packed into sandwich form then this is the challenge for you. Adam Richman from Man v. Food couldn’t even tackle this beast and when it comes to sandwiches he’s usually right on the money.
