Naader Reda and I look to be attempting a Thanksgiving Feast at Buca Di Beppo in Carlsbad, CA the week of Thanksgiving. Exact day TBD as of now. Owner loves the idea of 2 guys (who look nothing like competitive eaters) coming in to try and eat a 6 person themed family meal in 90 minutes or less. If we finish will get it for $25 each vs $50 each. He may even waive it if regional manager gives final OK on how they use the event......our own fun or as a marketing tool for their own promotions. Should be fun and delicious either way!

Buca is not bad for a chain tho.

"Backing out" = Stating that the challenge wouldn't be done.
I did just have two of the hardest weeks of the past couple of years of my life.
Getting hit by a car and becoming practically immobilized for a few days.. complicates things?
It's going to be done, not really sure when at this moment. I'm actually contemplating doing an actual challenge at a restaurant near me FIRST, mainly because my last one was so long ago and I want to see how much I can take down in a sitting (in terms of lbs).
The other issue is that I'm going to be doing it on a weekend when my girlfriend is home, so that she can film and help me prep. Which isn't until next weekend.

Eaten at 4 Buca's nationwide before and yes, always family style servings.....even the BUCA small is meant for 2-3 adults. The manager said the Turkey Day Feast is meant to serve 1 generous portions for 6 adults. 3 entree items and 4 side items. all items are fixed for the feats so we dont pick but from the listing.....i wont be dissapointed!

[size=+3][color=red] Nikki Rottens “ Ultimate Rotten Burger” Challenge! [/size] [/color]
[B]The Location:[/B]
Nikky Rottens "Bar and Burger Joint" - Rancho San Diego, CA
[B]The Challenge:[/B]
[size=-1] You have one hour to clean your plate. If you finish in 30 minutes, we’ll buy it for you! This friggin’ burger weighs in at 2 ½ pounds leaving grown men crying for mercy! 2lbs of Brandt beef, American Cheese, Lettuce, tomato, onion AND Rotten Sauce on a custom super-sized bun with fries on the side (1.5 lbs). No substitutions! Don’t even ask! [/size]
[B]Thoughts:[/B]
So.. Tonight I decided to attempt the “baddest” burger challenge in San Diego (and the biggest). This was my official “coming out of retirement” food challenge. This was my [u] FIRST ever “burger challenge”.. and after how tonight went, it certainly won’t be my last! [/u] I woke up this morning, and after some researching.. figured I’d go about this burger challenge. This challenge has been on my radar ever since the day after my last challenge (the 35 pancake IHOP challenge), so I figured I’d do it today.
The waiter told me that he had never seen anyone actually finish the burger before, but the manager personally told me that the record time was “22 minutes and 30 seconds”. So, after hearing that.. my desire to simply beat the 30 minute time limit and get the meal free.. turned into wanting to beat the all time record. I decided to change my technique for this one and I [u] went STRAIGHT for the protein.. the 2.5lb patty[/u]. It was honestly delicious and perfect temeperature.. (I made the mistake of not letting the 12 lb sandwich I attempted not cool off before eating it and it filled me up from the steam [/u] I got the meat down relatively quickly, and then went straight for the bun! The hostess told me that the bun was literally like “eating an entire load of bread”, and from the size.. it was actually bigger than my entire head. Quite honestly, the top was like hell.. it was buttered/toasted.. and went down hard, the bottom was easy (as it was soggy).
Next were the fries.. the sweet potato fries were absolutely delicious. I wouldn’t have been able to get through it (well, I would’ve but not like I did.) without the syrup, ranch, and amazing BBQ sauce that they had on hand. I decided to eat those, (and the rest of the bun) last. The veggies (tomatoes, lettuce, and pickle) were randomly eaten.
Overall, this was probably my most enjoyable challenge I’ve ever done. I’ve always wanted to do this, and had heard great things about it. I was ORGINALLY going to do simply a 2lb burger challenge today.. but decided to go for the biggest, and baddest in San Diego. And after taking down that entire thing (4+lbs worth.. the 2.5lb patty + the bun + the 1.5lb fries) I’m VERY confident that I’ll be making my way back into doing eating challenges again! I can’t wait for my next one!

Nice man! Unfortunately these kind of challenges do not exist in my country! Looking forward to see the 10k "clean" food challenge. I'm going to do it next summer (don't ask why, unfortunately I need to wait until I go back home) but with no food restrictions. I've tried to make a list of foods just for fun and it's actually harder than it seems. I think there's high chances that I'll fail but I wanna be the first female to do it (I've seen max chewing, tim thebodeau and a few more dudes on youtube but no females whatsoever). Ah, and good job with your cut. I'm following you on IG and you're doing great! :)
Damn, solid completion; burger looks pretty good too!
I have done 2 burger challenges and will do more.
Both times my burger was fantastic
Fries were fantstic
and find them not very hard at all. Fries go down in a sinch.
bout time you hit a burger challenge. Easy one to get back on track there.

Here I was thinking that the fries would be the harder part of the challenge, when they actually went down the easiest. VERY glad that I chose 1/2 sweet potato + 1/2 regular.
Can't want for the next challenge.
Finally finished the video! Feel free to like/share/sub!

Looks like you ran out of gas there towards the end. Burger always goes down fast (both of mine were like 5 minutes like yours) Both of my buns (bottom was soft due to the grease of the burger) and top a bit harder, so i dunked mine in water and worked easy. Try rolling the fries up into a ball (Randy Santel does this) and Stonie does too with his challenges and just throw them in your mouth chew a few times and use the water to push them down. Should not need much chewing to get them down for the speed challenges and beating records/times.
But for real.. did one of your friends order a grilled cheese? LOL
Or maybe i heard it wrong.

I've always seen stonie and randy do that. Tbh, I didn't really feel like doing the water method because dunking it in ranch/syrup was more enjoyable.
Yeah, my girlfriend got the grilled cheese. lol
Strong not paying for her meal
Stonie looks like he is in the lead for the win today

I would hate to know the price on that.. like 7$ in CA?
^ Saw that stonie video.. crazy.
It's honestly [U]ASTOUNDING[/U] how many food challenges in San Diego have either been discontinued, or the actual places have been "closed - permanently" (on yelp). Literally every single entry on EatFeats has been this way for me.
Regardless, the next one I'm doing should be interesting.
Congrats on the burger challenge Erik! Pretty strong eat there my man.. Wish there was a burger challenge like this around me!

Just got off the phone with owner of the place where I'm doing my next challenge.
Actually quite surprised that I found it because it's unlisted on the net, I did some searching this morning lol.
It's going to be cool because it's one that you get to rename if you beat it (only one guy has beat it, out of a couple hundred..trying. Supposedly a couple have been competitive eaters)

Erik,
Outside of the Moo Time Creamery Challenge as we spoke of their is actually one more challenge we could do around me I have not done yet. OB Noodle House in Ocean Beach. The Pho 20 Challenge. 1.5lbs noodle, 1lb meat, broth and a pint of beer in 42 minutes. Not that hard compared to other challenges but my catch has always been the beer! I hate beer with a passion and always have. Mine as well drink cold battery acid IMO. You also have to begin eating as soon as its plated in front of you while its piping hot. No ice or water can be added to the bowel either. Johnnie Excel did it in 2000 with time to spare but he said in his video he scalded his mouth really bad within minutes of starting..............to me that is not 100% worth a free meal, t-shirt and name on a wall to have my mouth burnt to hell for days after.
Here is an idea.......we do that then take our burnt as hell mouth and cool it off with Moo Time right after? Boom!
Guahan still on my radar to. Just gotta find the time to make the trip on a weekend.
[QUOTE=gbullock32;1308089571]What's the challenge? Burrito, burger, ext?[/QUOTE]
had to do the same with my Gyro
they had to order a full string of lamb meat just for the contest.
