Here are some past posts about locations in this state:

Alfonsoís Mexican Food, Colorado Springs

Hey Adam and all those on your crew from the Travel Channel. If you’re looking for a new big eat that won’t disappoint try the Don Poncho Burrito at Alfonsoís Mexican Food here in Colorado Springs, CO. I don’t know the precise measurements or weight, but I know it makes the lunchroom tray it’s served on diminutive in size by comparison and my friends and I have unanimously decided it could easily feed a family of four. It’s loaded with steak, beans, rice, sour cream and a lot more! Bring your team down to the Red Rock State and try to take on the Don Poncho. We Triple Dog Dare You! Razz

Brewery Bar II, Denver

If you have the chance while you and your crew are in Denver. You need to try the Brewery Bar II. It has been around since 1954, serving the hottest green pork chili around. We had one customer who holds the record for eating 13 bowl a one sitting. If interested in taking the challenge pls contact me at 303-523-8461

Jack-n-Grill, Denver

If guys eat it, they get their picture on the Wall of Fame, if a gal eats it, not only does she get on the Wall of Fame but she does not pay for it and she gets to eat at Jack-n-Grill for life! Only three women have done it! It’s a massive egg, potato, ham, green chili, cheese, smothered in more green chili and cheese. Lots have tried, lots have failed.
A great way to start the day.

The only catch, is that it is a 2-man competition.

In Loveland, Colorado, on the corner of Eisenhower and Estrella is a little restaurant called Doc's Food & Spirits. People come for the smiling service, the casual atmosphere--and especially for the food! We have a good regular crowd.

We have a great All-you-can-eat spaghetti deal on Thursdays--our spaghetti is delicious and we make the marinara in house.

But also on the menu, under burgers is our Mile-high burger. Two patties cooked to the customer's specification, topped with sauteed onions and melted cheese, then stood on a bun layered with our guacamole and served with a side of your choice.

In Aspen, CO There is a sub shop that has a challenge where if you can eat a triple stuffed 20 or so inch sub then you get it free. I'm not sure about exactly how it works but I do know that they do have a challenge. The sub shop is called Jonny McGuires:

A couple of my friends have beaten this challenge and I wanted to know if you could!

In Trinidad, CO, there is a restaurant called JoJo's Pizzaria. They have the JoJo's challenge. It is a pizza with all 18 toppings, a salad, a glass of LuLus lemonade, and I think a desert roll. The catch is that you only have an hour to eat it all. The pizza is excellent, the service is great and its right in the heart of downtown Trinidad. You can sit next to the window and watch the town pass around you as you enjoy the great family atmosphere!!!!

Pug Ryan's Steak House and Brewery, Dillon

Nothing to do with volume, just a little heat. They have a wing sauce made from ground habanero seeds. It's not on the menu, you have to order by request and agree to eat at your own risk.

If you can open your eyes and speak after 2 wings, you're da man. Quaker State 6 wing is nothin, you won't be in any condition to comment after Pug's wings. No way you can finish a regular wing order. Includes a special surprise 4 hours later... Smile

In the historic mining town of Black Hawk Colorado, there is a restuarant full of chefs that live for hot food. Crook's Palace Restaurant. The quaker state 6 wings are almost ten times cooler than their hottest. They call them no-refund inferno wings. They utilize the jolokia pepper, also known as the ghost pepper, which is according to Guinness World Records the hottest pepper on earth. As if the hottest pepper in the world wasn't enough, rating at nearly 1 million scoville units, they also use small amounts of capsicum extract, rated at 3 million scovilles, to ramp up the heat.

I work at the restaurant and the sauce for these wings, is to say the least unimaginable. They are so hot, we are thinking of changing the name of them to the "You Can't Finish Them Wings." I think this would be an amazing challenge for Adam, and the mining town turned casino town is a perfect candidate for a travel channel expierience.

Crook's Palace Restuarant
200 Gregory Street, Black Hawk
CO, 80422
(303)582-5182

Furthermore, we also make ice cream with the Ghost Pepper, called ghost rasberry. The ice cream does not reach the level of heat in the wings, but is a unique expierience, as the hot pepper mixed with cold milk and sugar almost numbs the mouth.

Tee & Cakes in Boulder has a CUPCAKE CAKE that would be the ultimate sweets challenge. Weighs in at approx 6 lbs! Maybe a little more. And this fine beauty can come in any of our tasty flavors. Heck, we can even put a picture of Adam's face on top of the cake. Or an edible MVF logo. Just sayin....

I wasn't all that impressed by Beau Jo's pizza. It was good the first time, and everybody should eat there once to try it, but quickly loses its novelty. If you really want a good pizza, go to Wyman's #5. Hands down the best pie outside of Chicago.
