irreverentad Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Basically, I just want to be Adam Richman. I've already got the girth, I just want the food down my gob. My Girlfriend doesn't understand why I would quite happily go to the US for 3 monts and purely take on food challenges! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irreverentad Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Ahh, Kismot. That's the one I was thinking of. I've a mate in Edinburgh who is due a visit. I will definitely do that while I'm there. I expect a review once it is done. And a picture of you with tears in your eyes and milk down your front after it is completed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't smoke, don't feed the jukebox, don't play pool, eat before you go out (although I must admit to having little resistance to a chippy after a few beers). So my night out would just be the beer. But I couldn't handle ten pints (I may have done it a few times in my life, but only over a long session) - five would be a more plausible amount (and that would undoubtedly give me a hangover - see the appropriate thread).

GarethRDR Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 On spicy food, I don't pretend to be one of these people that can "handle" it which is the strange thing. If I have something that's hot, I damn well know about and it damn well shows, generally through profuse sweating and/or sobbing. I just like the taste. The missus doesn't understand that either, she argues there's no taste and just heat at that level, but I swear there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am always fine eating it, especially with a glass of milk! And I prefer the taste. The problem is the next day when on the bog it is sheer torture!

GarethRDR Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Wow pizza burger sounds amazing. Have you not seen it? It was made for the benefit of VT, should be some pics in the "crap food" thread somewhere. Here we go. Inspired by this thread, I took it upon myself to trial a concoction I'd dreamed up over the weekend; the Deep Dish Burger. Very simple, take two Chicago Town deep dish pepperoni pizzas (or whichever takes your fancy, I'd wager the pepperoni ones would work best though), turn them inwards and use in lieu of burger baps.

LockStockVilla Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Me and a couple of mates want to do a food challenge (man vs food style). I have tried googling and I just get breakfasts. Anyone know any good steak ones in uk? London Steak Challenge CHeers LockStock. By posting that one I have found a website: http://www.thefoodproject.co.uk/uk-food-challenges.html I think i could do that one......although pretty expensive if I fail!!! Good find on that site, I plan on trying to take on some food challenges soon. I have a home back in the states not too far from where he did the Man v Food steak challenge in Baltimore. Been very tempted to try it sometime...Just so costly if you lose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In full swing at university I was often spending over £50 on nights out. I could drink incredible amounts then. I think my most was £80 one night, and I remember nothing of that night at all. That would go almost entirely on booze, maybe £10 on food/taxi and say £5 for pub entertainment. That might explain the horrendous hangovers I would get and why I walked away from uni with a maxed £2.5k overdraft :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
