Last night on Man v. Food Adam ventured out to Boise, ID to take on the Johnny B. Goode challenge. This challenge consists of 3 different parts, the first part is a ridiculous cheeseburger topped with a hot dog and pastrami, the 2nd part is a large order of chili cheese fries and finally wash it all down with a large milkshake. And in order to complete the challenge you must finish all of this food, all 6.5 pounds of it, in under a half an hour. If you are successful you get to take home a brand new Fender guitar (or at least Adam did, there’s not much info elsewhere on the web).

how much does this item cost?
its like 15 bucks but its free if you do it like a man
But there’s limited hours when you can take the challenge.
it’s after 6 at night if memory serves
The prize is actually a Squier Stratocaster — which is the lowest of the low end guitars. Just so people don’t think they’re getting a real Fender Strat…
It’s $19 I tried it the other day I was in pain! I could only do the burger and shake!

how many people have won?
It’s $18.99 and you don’t get a guitar. That was just for the show. You get a tshirt and your pic up on their wall.
oh.. and it has a 95% failure rate! says so on the menu.
Actually Cheryl,
You DO get the guitar and it wasn’t just for the show. I tried the challenge and if they don’t have a guitar in stock then they give you $150 so please only speak about stuff you know And it’s not $19, it’s $15.99
p.s. The amount of food really is a ridiculous amount. It’s 6 lbs of food total (including the 16 oz) shake. My friend and I were not even close and another guy in the restaurant threw up at the table when he was just a few bites away from finishing.
Sorry that was me. I didn’t throw up, I accidentally pooped in the booth. It was my fault as I had just finished eating some oysters and Lucky Charms right before the challenge. I was so embarrassed because I was on a first date (she broke up with me by the way), but they gave me a tablecloth to wrap up in, and I ran out of the restaurant. Unfortunately the smell never came out of my car (Fiat 500). I tried to donate it, and they threw me out of the donation center and told me they’d call the cops if I ever came back. The challenge was actually a blessing in disguise, as I was later diagnosed with IBS, and no longer eat oysters and Jagermeister.
