Last night on Man v. Food Adam attempted to break the record for the most bowls of Joe Roger’s famous Firebrand Chili eaten in one sitting. In order to get your name on the wall of fame all you need to do is eat 1 bowl, but the record currently stood at 5 bowls, but Adam was up for the challenge. The first bowl was a struggle to get through, but he eventually hit is stride and polished off 5 bowls, tying the record and getting his name on the wall of fame. Based on Adam’s facial expressions after taking the first bite, this chili is no cake walk. If you think you can handle some very hot chili and have what it takes to break the record, give this challenge a shot. Or you could always finish one bowl and get your name on the wall.

A lot of you have been coming here looking for steak challenges so I decided that I’d bring you another large steak challenge today. This one isn’t quite as big as The Big Texan previously featured on the site, but it’s still a good hunk of meat. And since it’s smaller than the other steak challenges the time limit is also greatly reduced. You’re going to have to hustle to finish this thing off in the allotted time.

Where: Sam’s Steakhouse
Terre Haute, IN and Marshall, IL
http://samssteakhouse.org

Challenge: Eat a 48 oz. steak
Time Limit: 20 minutes
People: 1
Prize: Steak is free if completed along with a T-shirt.
Rules: No rules mentioned on the website, but make sure to ask your server before attempting the challenge.
