Actually, I know of another guy who knows. He even told everyone once, but nobody believed him.

For example. Texas Tavern in Roanoke, VA has a chili challenge. 16 8 ounce bowls. I went and beat it a couple weeks ago. I finished the last couple bowls on fb live. So there’s a pretty good visual of what the challenge entails on their fb page.

I ate 2 Submarine Sandwiches to get a 3rd one free.
I took the 3rd one home and weighed it.
It was about a pound and a half.
So it’s a 1 star challenge unless you eat the 3rd one there. But there aren’t any additional prizes for doing that.

It was a pleasant experience with an awesome staff
I found the burger to be delicious filling but not very challenging. I will probably eat there again some day when I’m in the area

I’m torn between 2 choices.
A 5 pound pizza at Lucky’s Pizza in Salem, VA.
I’ve beat a number of pizza challenges, so I’m pretty confident that I would have no problem with this one. Plus, I work for a food distributor, and this is an account that we deliver to. So I’ve…[Read more]

There you have to eat a basket of fries and a big sundae with the burger. Prize is a t-shirt and picture on the wall. Back then it cost $18 for the meal whether you win or lose. (2001, I think).

It’s insulin and leptin that control appetite

I Also focus on hydration

To me that’s the biggest factor and the main reason you don’t want to starve yourself before a challenge.
