Please post your food challenge suggestions here for this state. If you have photos and video of the location, please upload them on our What's Your Trip site.
Here are some past posts about locations in this state: Gregory's Steak House, Bethlehem Originally posted by: xxanadu we have great steak house in the Lehigh valley in Pennsylvania! they have a 120n oz. steak challenge and even though I’m now a vegetarian, I know they still have the best steak around! and, their house potatoes are to die for...definitely give it a try! Denny's Beer Barrel Pub, Clearfield Originally posted by: hdsport78 Denny's has a variety of challenges. Choose from the two, three, six or FIFTEEN pound burger. Check out the information at www.dennysbeerbarrelpub.com Crazy Jakes BBQ Pit, Easton Originally posted by: wensue32 There is a Jumbo Jake Challenge at Crazy Jakes BBQ Pit in Easton, Pa. It consists of a triple cheeseburger stuffed with pulled pork, beef brisket, coleslaw, bbq sauce, pickles and onions. The challenge just started and the record is at 2 in under 20 minutes. Spuds, Kutztown Originally posted by: elreinhard you should totally come to Kutztown, PA. there is a take out joint called Spuds. they offer a 3 lbs burger called the beast. I have not ate it because I am a vegetarian. if you eat it all you will enjoy the fame and fortune that awaits you as a member of the spuds hall of fame. Danny's, MeadowLands Originally posted by: boom72 Biggest Pancakes - flipped with a pizza paddle. Huge omelets, Belgium waffles. I think the challenge is to eat 3 pancakes. Check hours - they are only open weekends and only for breakfast/brunch hours. About 30 minutes south of Pittsburgh. Niner Diner, Nanty Glo Originally posted by: countrygal5943 We have a small 50's diner in our town that serves the best food and lots of it. They have two specials: Tiny's Tall Stack—5 hubcap hotcakes $5.99 Eat them all and they're free—1 hour or less and Tiny's Challenge 3 lb Angus Burger 5 lbs fries and drink 2 hours or less—$21.95 Eat it all and it's free. I had breakfast there last week and had their omelet, it was served on a big platter. Here is the link to their menu. I hope Adam can visit them and take one of their challenges. http://www.nantyglo.com/niner_menu.htm 4th Street Deli, Philadelphia Originally posted by: varian Their "zaftig" size sandwiches make the "Dagwood" look like a pansy... Jim's Steaks, Philadelphia Originally posted by: rube1023 The record for most cheesesteaks at Jim's Steaks in Philly is 13 in one hour, so 13 to tie, 14 to beat. Plus there's tons of great food places in Philly to fill up the rest of the show. Lock, Stock and Barrel, Sharpsville Originally posted by: ryno662 you need to get to "Lock, Stock and Barrel" in sharpsville,PA and try the Italian nightmare sub. it is over 2lbs in weight of Italian deli meat and tastes unbelievable! you would not regret it! Big Bertha's Grill, Sinking Spring Originally posted by: gottocookfood1006 If Adam comes to Pa the place to come to is Big Bertha's grill in Sinking Spring , Pa over sized man made portions at cheap affordable prices . I recommend this place for people with not so much income in their pockets and a family to feed...... Big bertha's grill they make what is called the belly buster it is a large sub with the works it is what it is called the belly buster. they have it all from corn nuggets to subs from pizzas that are big to homemade ice cream that comes big. Italian Stallion, Uniontown Originally posted by: thelunaticsciullo Uniontown pa has a new challenge called the Italian stallion. A five pound Italian sub with every antipasta fix you can think of on a loaf of homade bread served with a pound of seasoned potato wedges. The record is 8 minutes 30 seconds. Finish It in less than 30 minutes get you name on the wall, the stallions free and you get a t-shirt and a chance to take on the record. In an hour you get the t-shirt anything more just a pic. |

I would like to recommend Adam visit Machismo Burrito Bar in Manayunk, PA. I was there today and they told me that they have a 5 lb Burrito Challenge. So far 78 people have attempted this challenge and ZERO have completed it.

The 5 pound burrito challenge at Machismo Burrito Bar was completed, once. I know the person who did it.
It's still a good challenge - as Adam didn't take on Burritozilla, he might or might not finish this one. |

I think Adam should go to this place in Kutztown, Pa called Spuds. They have a HUGEE burger there that if you can finish it, you get your name and picture on the wall of fame and a t-shirt as well. The meat itself is 3 lbs, with almost a whole head of lettuce, a whole tomato, a whole onion, and mayo.
Spuds is known to all the college kids for their crazy fries creations and amazing burgers. Only a few people have been able to finish this huge Spuds burger and the record was set at 14 min years ago. My friend tried to eat it and got a little more than half way. I'd like to see Adam beat that record. |

I highly recomend a place called Jiggers Bar and Grill in Export Pa, 15632 Phone- 724-733-9805. They have 30 total wing flavors! Un believable. And a Challenge! You get your picture on the wall and a T shirt if you finish 0ne dozen psycho #1 wings in under 40 minutes. And Psycho #2 wings!! One is Hotter than hell!! # 2 is even hotter!! And these wings are definatly hotter than anything you have ever tried else where. The cook Scotty used to be into chemistry. Him and his brother had something to do with Military Pepper Spray! gaurantee they will blow away Quaker State And Lube!! There other flavors are so good!!! You need to come to this place and put them on the map!! Its just a little place but it used to win undisputed contests for best wings in pittsburgh cosistantly. Thank you

Try Just Sports in Jamison, PA.
Just Sports features the "Wings of Fire" Wing Eating Challenge. The challenge is to each just 12 wings in three hours. No drinking while eating. Why just 12 wings? The wings are just so hot only 3 or 4 (the manager wasn't sure) people have completed it. The manager said the wings are at "11 million Scoville units" hot. That would make them almost pure capsaicin. I am sure the wings are hot.If you eat the wings you get a T shirt. Just Sports – 2160 York Road, Jamison, PA 18929 267-483-8512 Check out my post on the restaurant at http://petersfoodadventure.wordpress.com/ |

Point Pleasant Village General Store which is located above New Hope, PA is amazing. They have the best chipped beef you will ever find. Made locally and smoked special for them.

RD's Last Chance aka Fiddlers Green
The best wings ever in little Portage Pennsylvania! They serve over 300 flavors of wings with of course the 4 you must sign a waiver for. The hottest being "Super Nova" all you have to eat is 1, they won't even serve your order if you're not at the table the waitress holds it for you. They give you gloves to eat with. They also have many other "original" foods to choose from. Hope Adam could put us on the map and stop sometime. |
