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.

You didn’t think that just because Man v. Food didn’t actually do a challenge on the show last night that I wouldn’t give you a new one today did you? I wouldn’t do that to you, I know you’re hungry, and sticking with the North Carolina theme, I bring you Paventi’s Pizza Challenge. This monstrous pizza challenge has been attempted only 11 times according to their website and nobody has successfully completed it. So if you haven’t eaten in days and are not lactose intolerant then head on down to Paventi’s and give this thing a shot, it’s one of the few challenges that has an actual cash prize as well as the food for free.

Challenge: 32″ Pizza loaded with fresh mozzarella cheese and one topping of your choice.
Time Limit: 1 Hour
People: 1

Rules: No help from friends, must complete in one 60 minute sitting, cannot leave the table, must keep down the entire pizza (crust and toppings), if successful you must wait 12 months before next attempt. As always, rules are subject to change so please check with your server for official rules. Good luck!

Last nights episode of Man v. Food was a little different than most episodes. Instead of Adam attempting some ridiculous food challenge at the end of the show, him and 3 other people competed in The Doughman Race in Durham, NC. Essentially The Doughman Race is a triathlon that incorporates food either before, after or during each leg of the race, so technically a quadrathlon if you include eating as an event. For example, you would start by eating some sort of food and then swim a couple laps and then you would run a few miles to where you would then tag your partner who would jump on a bike and ride for a few miles, get off and eat a sandwich, jump back on the bike to make it to the next member of your group, and so on. It was an interesting competition to say the least, but I was kind of looking forward to an actual food challenge.  Never the less, if you are interested in competing in The Doughman Race next year, I’ve posted some more information below on where you can go to get all the details. And if you do partake in next years event make sure you send us pictures and videos. And of course all the proceeds go to a local charity, so it’s all worth it.
