Atomic Hot Wing Challenge at Quaker Steak and Lube

atomic wing challenge at quaker steak and lube

I know how you guys love wing challenges so I figured it was time to throw out another classic Man v. Food hot wing challenge, although in this case I may be a little late. I’m not sure if this challenge even exists anymore as the website for Quaker Steak and Lube now lists an even hotter wing sauce in their Triple Atomic Sauce which is supposedly 500,000 Scoville units where as the Atomic Sauce is only 150,000 Scoville units. I’ve also run into some conflicting reports regarding the rules of this challenge so please make sure to check with your server before you attempt this and if anyone has been there recently and knows if the challenge or rules have changed, please let us know so I can update this post.

Mount Nacheesmo Challenge at Tio’s Mexican Cafe

Mmmmm Nachos…. I can’t decide if this challenge was named after a mountain or if a mountain should be named after this challenge, this thing is huge! Adam had his work cut out for him up in Ann Arbor. This plate of nachos, covered in everything imaginable, is a true test of stomach strength. Do you have what it takes to climb Mount Nacheesmo?

Burger Bet at The Cottage Cafe

If you’re looking for a BIG burger challenge in Michigan then the Cottage Cafe is where you want to be. The information on the website only states that the burger is so big that they don’t think you can eat it, while a little more digging reveals that the burger may hover around the 3 pound mark. So while we can’t confirm exactly how big the burger is, it better be big if they don’t think people can finish it.
