It sure does seem that there are a lot of wing challenges out there for Adam to attempt, but despite the name of this one it didn’t seem like it was as bad as some of the others. These are jumbo wings as opposed to normal wings, they are also breaded which makes them a bit more to handle since the breading soaks up the hot sauce, but as far as hotness goes Adam didn’t seem to have that big of a problem with them. He went with an unorthodox, but smart, strategy of taking the first 8 minutes of his 15 minute time allotment to remove the wings from the bones so that he could eat them without getting hot sauce all over his face. This cut out the face burn factor which made the wing meat easier to eat in the end, and in the end he prevailed. But just because Adam was the 4th person to complete the challenge doesn’t mean that it’s an easy one, so give it a shot and let us know how you fair against the Ludicrous Wing Challenge!

Looking for a place to burn the taste buds right off your tongue, then Caliente in Richmond, VA is the place you want to be. On Man v. Food last night, Adam took on the challenge and successfully ate 8 of the Stupid Wings in under 30 minutes. And while it didn’t seem terribly difficult for him, another patron attempted to eat just 1 bite and couldn’t continue. So, do you have what it takes to take down these throat burning, heart burn inducing wings?

Last night on Man v. Food Adam ventured back to his hometown of Brooklyn, NY to take on a challenge that was too much for him in a previous episode, but this time he was ready. The Suicide Six Wing Challenge at Buffalo Cantina in Brooklyn is so hot that the one guy Adam got to try a single wing was barely able to talk after eating it. But this time Adam was able to conquer this ridiculously spicy/hot challenge and got his revenge.

If you’re idea of a good Saturday night is going down to the local wing joint and guzzling a gallon of habenero sauce for 4 minutes then this is the challenge for you! Flamin Joes’ Widowmaker Wing Challenge is similar to some of the other Wing Challenges we’ve featured on the site, but you gotta love the challenge of not being able to eat or drink anything for 4 minutes prior to the challenge and 4 minutes after. They want you to feel that extra few minutes of burn before they reward you. They don’t call this the Widowmaker challenge for no reason, be prepared to sleep on the couch (or in the bathroom) that night. Good luck!

Virginia hasn’t been getting any love on the site yet so I figured it was time to add a challenge for those of you that live out there. And since wing challenges seem to be very popular, here you go, a wing challenge in Virginia. If you can handle the heat and want to step up to the Flatliner Wing Challenge then head on down to the Buffalo Wing Factory & Pub, they have 4 locations in Virginia so hopefully you’ll be able to find one in your area. While the challenge is much less than the record, at the time of finding this challenge the current record for most wings eaten was 42, can you top that?

Hot wing challenges seem to be pretty popular when it comes to food challenges and the Ghost Wing Challenge at Girvan Grille in Brooklyn Park, MN is no different. Based on their website it looks like the challenge only just started this year, but has already been conquered by a number of people. If you’re into hot and spicy, it doesn’t get much hotter than the ghost chile pepper so this challenge is definitely not for the faint of heart… or stomach.

This week on Man v. Food Adam headed down to Sarasota, FL to endure a “mystery challenge” at Munchies 420 Cafe. The owner would not tell him what the challenge was before he sat down and when he did he was in for a huge surprise. The cafe is known for their fat sandwiches stuffed with everything from chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks to macaroni and cheese. The fat sandwiches here look amazing and I would have loved to see Adam try to destroy one of the larger ones, but alas the challenge didn’t involve any of these. Instead he was greeted with 10 (or 12?) of some of the hottest wings on the planet. These wings use a sauce that is a combination of some of the hottest peppers in the world, including the extract of THE hottest pepper in the world, the ghost pepper. Needless to say Adam did not fair well at all, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him struggle with a challenge this much. So if you’re looking for an extreme challenge, head on down to Munchies 420 Cafe and give these wings a try, or just try one of their delicious looking fat sandwiches.
