I Bet You Won't

Lumpy’s Diner has a total of 3 food challenges for you to attempt if you’re in the area, but the No. 3 “The Intimidator” is the most recent, and possibly largest, addition to their food challenge menu. I couldn’t find an official weight of the challenge, but it is said to stand over 8 inches tall on the plate once it’s all said and done. Just one look at all of the food that goes into this massive food challenge and I knew there was no way I could complete this monster. Check after the jump for a video of a cute, tiny, girl attempting this challenge.

Another Man v Food classic the “Special #2″ at the Orochon Ramen in Los Angeles, CA. If you’re looking for an extremely spicy challenge then this is exactly what you’re looking for. With broth made from 10 different types of chilies your mouth is sure to be on fire by the end of this one, it’s definitely not the ramen in a cup I’m used to from college.

I’m a huge fan of hot dogs, but this challenge is seriously ridiculous. At the time of filming, only one person had ever completed this challenge so if you think you have what it takes, head on down to Knucklehead Hot Dog Diner (Formerly Parker’s Hot Dogs) with an empty stomach and see if you can take down the Knucklehead Challenge. Adam was unsuccessful in his attempt, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t do it!

Where: Knucklehead Hot Dog Diner (Formerly Parker’s Hot Dogs)
7456 Foothills Blvd
Roseville, CA
916.782.0338 | Yelp!

Challenge: Knucklehead Challenge consists of a 5 lb chili cheese dog that is sure to blow you away. Five 10″ hot dogs topped with 3 lbs. of chili, cheese, onions, tomatoes and pickles all topped with a pound of fries.
People: 1
Time Limit: 20 Minutes
Prize: Meal is Free
Rules: Other than the time limit, I don’t think there are any, but make sure to ask before attempting the challenge.
