Absolutely Ridiculous Burger at Mallie’s Sports Bar & Grill

Last night was a little different on Man v. Food. Instead of Adam taking on a food challenge of his own, he attempted to finish a 190 pound Guinness World Record holding burger at Mallie’s Sports Bar & Grill, with the help of 50 or so other people of course. Nobody had ever attempted this challenge which leads me to believe that it’s probably not a sanctioned challenge and just something Adam and the producers wanted to try. Sadly Adam and his team were not able to tame the beast in the 2 hours allotted and thus, Food won. And if you want to serve this massive burger up for a party at your home, Mallie’s will create and deliver this for only $2000!!
