I Bet You Won't

Do you have what it takes to be The Donkey? Baja Bean Co. doesn’t think you do, that’s why they are betting you can’t finish their 5 lb burrito challenge. I’m not really sure why it’s called the donkey, but it probably has something to do with the fact that this thing will kick your ass! It could also have something else to do with your ass, but I’m trying to keep this site as family friendly as I can. So give this challenge a shot and let us know how you do!

Where: Baja Bean Co.
1520 West Main Street
Richmond, VA 23220

People: 1
Prize: $50 gift card, a certificate of completion and a “I Am The Donkey” T-shirt. If you fail you receive the dreaded “Donkey Fail” T-Shirt.

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.

Looking for a place to burn the taste buds right off your tongue, then Caliente in Richmond, VA is the place you want to be. On Man v. Food last night, Adam took on the challenge and successfully ate 8 of the Stupid Wings in under 30 minutes. And while it didn’t seem terribly difficult for him, another patron attempted to eat just 1 bite and couldn’t continue. So, do you have what it takes to take down these throat burning, heart burn inducing wings?
