There's a Sushi Challenge video showcased today on Yahoo! of a young man from New York who downed 52 Nigiri Sushi in 20 minutes. The video itself is kinda' lame but it brought to mind how few of these "Eat it All in XX minutes or You Pay" type of food challenges are offered in restaurants around Oahu (or Hawaii for that matter).
The most notable one I've seen on the Food Network was J&R's (also in New York) 76 oz. Steak Challenge: Consume (by one person only) an entire 76 oz. grilled steak within one hour and the meal is free. Don't finish and you pay $60.
Personally I'd never partake in anything like this, as I know I don't have the stomach space for it. Guaranteed I'd end up paying. Not to mention overeating like that would feel miserable. Still, there's folks out there who can really put it down. Like that really skinny Japanese guy who always wins Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest. And that other petite asian gal named Sonya Thomas. Amazing.
Anyone know any restaurants around town that offer such a challenge? Where and what's the deal?
"Eat 5 bowls of Ramen in 50 Minutes and it's FREE. Don't finish and you pay $55". Stuff like that. I'm sure there's all kinds out there. From fried chicken to pancakes to ice cream. Definately not for the faint of heart and stomach.
