If you eat the 2-pound burger, homemade bun, fries and cole slaw in under an hour, you will get your name up on the "Wall of Fame". Jaxson's Ice Cream Parlor, Dania Originally posted by: scully the kid JAXONS REALLY HAS EVERYTHING FROM THE MILE LONG HOTDOGS TO THE OLD SCHOOL PARLOR STYLE ICE CREAM SUNDAYS. BUT.. THEY’RE FAMOUS FOR THEIR KITCHEN SINK! ITS HUGE AND FOR PARTIES OF 4 OF MORE. AND YOU REALLY NEED 4+ PEOPLE, UNLESS YOU’RE ONE ADAM RICHMAN. IT REALLY IS A PLACE TO ENJOY A GREAT MEAL WITH A REASONABLE PRICE. WELL WORTH IT! I MISS IT EVERY TIME I HAVE TO GO NORTH FOR SCHOOL. AND IM SURE THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF PEOPLE TO GO HEAD TO HEAD WITH ADAM WHEN TAKING ON THE KITCHEN SINK. Shelby's Diner, Deerfield Beach Originally posted by: jsraff2009 You have to try Shelby's Diner in Deerfield Beach FL. Erik is the owner and he took over 2.5 years ago and really cleaned up the place. He has two huge challenges. The first is the Terminator. South Florida's biggest pancake breakfast. 24" pancake topped with 4 eggs, home fries, sausage patties, bacon and toast. He bets that no one can eat it alone. I personally have seen 4 people try and all had to share and even bring some home. The other challenge is a 25" hotdog on a bun with french fries. He has a custom made hot dog dressed with sauerkraut and chopped onions on a two-foot Italian bread served with french fries. So far no one has eaten it alone, usually it takes three people. Clark's Fish Camp, Mandarin Originally posted by: jaxyorks2 Clark's Fish Camp has a great steak challenge! They have the BEST seafood also. The animal decor is very unique. Adam, you have to go there! 12903 Hood Landing Rd. Mandarin, FL. Pizza Rustica, Miami Originally posted by: alex rustica Established in may 1996 in beautiful south beach fl, Pizza Rustica has become a local icon. Pizza Rustica has offered its customers great food at affordable prices with the finest meats and the freshest produce. One of our feature items is our "4 Play Pizza" a 24x16 inch square roman style pizza with a choice of 4 different flavors from our exclusive menu, usually served for 8 to 10 people. We challenge Adam to take on this south beach baby!, if he does, he would be the first one to attempt this challenge and a tradition can be born. American Pie Pizza Company, Orlando Originally posted by: marc140 American Pie Pizza Company Challenge Pie 29" inches in 29 mins Cheese or any toppings of Choice Up To 2 People Prize the Pizza Free Rules: No Getting Up, No One Can Help, No Throwing Up. Record: 10 mins , Never Done By One Person Location: Any American Pie Pizza Company Company Phone Number: (407) 877 2218 Website: www.americanpiepizzaco.com Beaches n Cream, Orlando Originally posted by: sricci07 There is an awesome ice-cream parlor on the Walt Disney World Resort, called Beaches n Cream. You can find it near the Yacht & Beach Club Resorts in the boardwalk section of Orlando's Disney World. They have a huge ice cream sundae called The Kitchen Sink. It has a scoop of every ice cream on their menu, plus every topping. I thought it was like 22 scoops, but that was a long time ago. It may have changed, but I think it would be neat for Adam to go there and tackle it within a certain amount of time. Plus, who doesn't love Disney? Times Grill, Pensacola Originally posted by: bobbo087 you should try the "Wall of Fame Burger" Mighty appetites are fired up by our Wall of Fame Burger challenge, a burger binge that has catapulted many of our guests to fame. Guests who consume the entire one-and-a-half-pound burger become part of Times Grillís Wall of Fame. Few have conquered the Wall of Fame Burger, but even fewer can wolf down two of our most heralded hamburgers back to back. Only five guests have earned the remarkable distinction and none are is shy about admitting to a burger-eating addiction. Founaris Brothers Greek, Pensacola Originally posted by: vyvysings I DARE you to eat ALL of the 16-inch "HOUSE SPECIAL" Greek pizza! The Greek pizzas here in Pensacola, FL, are THE PIZZAS in this town!!! When I have eaten a pizza from the FOUNARIS BROS. GREEK RESTAURANT,www.founarisbros.com, I can only eat 1.5 slices. A 6'1.5" friend who is a big guy can only eat a maximum of two slices.... Hip Pocket Deli Pensacola Originally posted by: derdonkderd This is a great little sandwich spot just off the Pensacola Naval Air Station (Home of the Blue Angels). It is only open for lunch, but it is a huge hit. The Challenge is a 4-pound Meatball Sub. I have not seen it eaten yet. You get the meal free if you do. He also has a 3-pound hamburger, and various other several pound sandwiches. I think the challenge only applies to the meatball sub though. This place also has one of the best Gyros I have ever had (with plenty of garlic!) Lots of good military pride and naval history as well. It is about 5 minutes if that from the Naval Aviation Museum, which is a great attraction also. CattleRanch, Sanford Originally posted by: jeansmassage Hey Adam, we have a challenge for you!!! Down here in WARM Florida, we have a place called the CattleRanch and they have a 6-pound steak with 2 sides and bread with your name on it. Eat it all or pay for it all!! My husband said if you came down to do the show, we'd be there to cheer you on. We have lots of other nice places nearby, Dixie Crossroads in Titusville serves great rock shrimp, an actual NY Pizza place, just email us, we'll hook you up!!! LOVE THE SHOW!!!! Honey Crust Pizzeria, Sarasota Originally posted by: coomdaddy We heard you were making a trip to Sarasota FL. If so we would love to give you the chance to be the first to person EVER in our 27 years of existence to concur our 7lb Supreme pizza challenge. The Supreme is 16in in diameter and weighs in at just a hair under 7lbs. For 27 years we have offered up the challenge for any one single person to eat a whole large super in one sitting. Many have tried ALL have failed! Thought it would be something that you would enjoy. G's Pizzeria, Sarasota Originally posted by: fivecruisinrileys G's Pizzeria is home of the soon to be famous Big Richie Challenge. A 26inch pizza, 2 people , minimum 2 toppings, hand stretched & 12 lbs. for $ 69.95. Finish within 45 minutes (rules apply - no dipping and no restroom visits), if you can't keep it down, you clean it up! If you can do it you get $150 back! 2 T-Shirts for winners or losers, its up to you!! Texas Cattle Company, St. Petersburg Originally posted by: jayhawk29 Are you ready for a challenge? Tackling the "Texas Cattle Company 6 pound Challenge" will test your durability and stamina! Consume the savory 6-pound sirloin in one hour and fifteen minutes, as well as the awesome house salad & the hefty Idaho Bake Potato and the whole meal is on us! A challenge this staggering is unrelenting! Do you have it in you? Super Perros, Tallahassee Originally posted by: julzsmith Tonight I conquered THE BOSS CHALLENGE at Super Perros in Tallahassee, FL. I am an eater....and it was tough. The boss challenge consists of eating 2 orders of fries or tater tots, 2 sodas, and 2 of the boss dog. It is a hoagie roll with 2 hot dogs, chicken, potato chips, pineapple, cheese, bacon, condiments and maybe some more stuff. You have to eat 2 of them..... It is a small Columbian restaurant in our college town (Go Seminoles!!) It is quite a challenge. But completely worth it. You should make your way down here to Tallahassee to eat at Super Perros! Put your face on the wall next to mine..... if you can! Stevi B's Pizza, Tallahassee Originally posted by: suprafish2000 A restaurant here in Tallahassee, FL called Stevi B's Pizza (similar to Ci Ci's) has a challenge called the "Flame Thrower". All you get is a t-shirt, which you pay extra for anyway, but your picture ends up on the hall of flame if you make it. The challenge is to eat an extremely hot slice of "pizza" in a certain amount of time, without throwing up. My husband did it and doesn't think you can! Stevie B's Pizza, Tallahassee Originally posted by: slickrick86 Stevie B's pizza in Tallahassee, FL has a pizza called the flamethrower. You have 20 minutes to eat it and 15 minutes to keep it down. You are set in a special seating area with puke buckets around you. You must sign a waiver prior to eating the slice of pizza and are instructed that if and when you throw up, to go out back to the dumpster with your bucket. Myself and six other guys decided to try the challenge...and only one guy completed the challenge, but as soon as the last 15 minutes were up, he was puking his guts out. All it is a single slice of pizza made with a number of peppers including habaneros and topped with a spicy sauce. I can almost guarantee that Adam could not finish it. Rapscallions, Tampa Originally posted by: obsidian468 Here's the challenge they offer: One order of Davy Jones Wings (10 wings), sign the waiver and the standard deal. 30 minutes to eat ten wings. No beverages are allowed. No eating food other than the wings is allowed during the challenge. The payout: If you win the challenge, you win a commemorative t-shirt (I got a staff t-shirt, as they were all out of the commemorative t-shirts, since it had been over a year since anyone had won it), the wings are free, and you get a free beverage of your choice from the bar (I had a shot of scotch). My friends know me as the "God of Habaneros" because of my penchant for the spicy foods and my knack for creating spicy dishes that will literally knock your socks off. These wings were even a challenge for me - and I consider pickled whole habanero peppers a treat. |

I know you are going to be at Munchies 4:20 Cafe tomorrow. I live just down the street and my finace works there. I just wanted to mention the place across the street, Monks Steamer Bar. You should definitely check it out. They have the signature dish, Oysters Monkefellas. Its a dozen steamed oysters, covered in garlic butter and tones of Parmesan and Romano Cheeses. They really are fantastic, especially with the Franks Red Hot, Horseradish, and Crackers. Just a heads up for ya. I'll be there tomorrow, and Good Luck with the challenge!

I would suggest Daily Grind Burgers in Port Orange, FL. This is a local hamburger joint with a great list of burgers from The Aztec with guacamole, sour cream and picante sauce to the South of the Border with pepper-jack cheese, fried onion petals, jalapeno peppers, chipotle mayo and picante. All of these burgers are ground fresh daily and made into hand formed patties. They even have a 3 pound burger challenge that Adam could try. Definitely worth a look and I'd love to swing by if Man vs. Food comes to town.

Go to the Texas Cattle Company in St. Petersburg or Lakeland. They have an eating challenge that includes 6 Lbs of sirlon steak, a salad, one other side, and a roll. It must be consumed in 1 hour and 15 minutes. And if you lose? You are out $35. Cheap! And the steak is fantastic! Beats Bern's and Charlie's in economy and taste. Give 'er a go! Call 24 hours in advance so they can order the cut of beef.

Conestogas in Alachua Fl. does a 48 oz burger with a side of potato or a salad. They say if you know of a bigger burger, let them know and they will out do it. For eating it, you get a piece of key lime pie (LOL) and a t-shirt.
Jaxson's Ice Cream in Dania Beach has the Kitchen Sink for at least 4 people and is whatever the "soda jerks" come up with. Not posed as a challenge, but certainly enjoyable nonetheless. Blue Boy Sandwich Shop (3 locations in Jacksonville) has some of the best subs ever including the ginormous Super Club Sub. G's Pizzeria in Sarasota has the Big Richie Challenge on select dates. It's 12 pounds of pizza (3 toppings) and it carries a cash prize for a 2 person winning team and t-shirts. |

I want to challenge Adam to come and visit our small town resturant and take a food challenge. It's called the Runway and it's located by Tyndall AFB, Fl right next door to Panama City Beach. 90% of the customers are present of former military. The place was recently bought by a friend and I told him about you and your show. He has a challenge that nobody has been able to do. Not even me. I told him not to stop the compition until I give you a try. He has redone the entire menu and is quiet tasty. Hope you will consider the challenge of the "Super Bomber".

You must try the Kitchen Sink at Beaches and Cream located at the Yacht and Beach Club in Orlando Florida. If you eat it by yourself in an hour, it's free!

I haven't tried it yet, but the Budweiser Brew House inside Tropicana Field is now hosting the FAN vs FOOD burger challenge. Might be a good lead up to the Texas Cattle Company challenge

Gotta try the Fan vs. Food challenge at Tropicana Field. It's 2 pounds of burger, four slices of American cheese, half-pound of bacon, 1 pound of fries ($29.98). Finish it all and you get two free tickets to a Rays game. Come on, they named the challenge after your show

I definitely think the Kitchen Sink at Beaches & Cream at the Yacht & Beach Club would be a fantastic challenge for Adam. I've only seen one guy finish this challenge by himself. Includes about 22 scoops of ice cream and all of the toppings they offer at the store. I think Adam is up for the challenge!
