over-the-top challenges that adam richman or man vs. food nation have taken on in this Travel Channel favorite I've never felt being stuffed in the back of my head I think the food is like crept up my back number 10 the Big Texan challenge the first entry on our list goes to the very first food challenge that Adam Richman undertook in the show's pilot episode I want to eat this bicycle seat made of meat dinnertime bring it home after visiting some foodie destinations along route 66 Richmond stopped into the Big Texan steak ranch to take on their 72-ounce Big Texan challenge he had one hour to eat a four and a half pound steak a baked potato a bread roll beans a shrimp cocktail and a salad because health right but I'm gonna chew right through that beef barrier combining the side salad with my final beef bites while he seemed daunted at some points he actually managed to finish with plenty of time to spare in just 29 minutes not a bad start [Applause] number nine the Travis on a silver platter challenge that is like chow down fantasy do you love burritos you might not be so keen on them after watching this episode Richmond headed to Grandma's ki diner to coach some brave participants in the Travis on a silver platter challenge it involves eating an absolutely enormous burrito with a side of fries all of which weighed in at a whopping eight pounds only two people had ever managed to finish it before Richmond arrived on the scene and the host even said that it may have been the toughest challenge that had ever been attempted on the show even with multiple people working on it food was the winner on this one services gave mvf nation their all and I'd like to present you for the championship belt and that makes them heroes in number eight the southwestern exposure challenge you wouldn't imagine that something as light and healthy as an omelet could bring a man down but that is exactly what happened in this season one challenge time to put the eight in Seattle this is the breakfast of titans forget about the breakfast of champions Richmond traveled to Seattle and paid a visit to Beth's café which is known for its southwestern exposure challenge about one in ten people managed to conquer it by eating a 12-egg omelet stuffed with beef brisket and a bunch of other southwestern style fixins this is only a half hour long show this will be a two-parter yeah Richmond was going up against a competitor for this one a local guy named Adam who had beaten the challenge before in the end though neither of them was up for the challenge though East Coast Adam came close today by a narrow margin food was number seven the classic whale challenge if you're not big on smoked fish you might want to look away for this one in Philadelphia spread bagel reoffer ZUP the classic whale challenge which by the time man vs. food got there had never been beaten it's a three-person challenge but even so it's an incredibly daunting one now the nikki has finished the whole top half of the bagel all three was considered winner taking down a four pound bagel is paired with nine pounds of filling including smoked salmon cream cheese red onions and capers it is a shocking amount of food and despite the help he had this team was not able to finish it all for losing they had to pay for the cost of the plate two hundred and fifty dollars I'm sorry the wall of fame remains in number six spicy fowl challenge when you think of New York you probably think of deli sandwiches thin crust pizza and street meat but curry not so much all right let's do it I'm terrified I have to wear protective gear to have food Richmond did sample some local delicacies while in the Big Apple but also headed to Brick Lane curry house in the East Village for their spicy fowl challenge in which competitors attempt to eat what the restaurant deems to be the spiciest curry in the world it's beating me it's pretty freakin hot Adam did manage to finish this one with only a bit of trepidation after the owner told him that someone who tried it started bleeding from the nose during their attempt I salute you I salute you and I [Music] number five the absolutely ridiculous burger challenge in Detroit malee sports grill and bar boasts one of the most over-the-top food challenges that we've ever heard of the fact that a team to complete it can involve 40 people should be an indication of just how insane it is the base of it is a gargantuan 190 pound hamburger topped with 10 pounds of cheeses four pounds of bacon and a variety of vegetables we've still got roughly 40 pounds on our plates add another 15 pounds still to be served even with the help of local firefighters wrestlers cops and athletes the food's still won on this one with the team only eating about 160 of the 190 pounds this round goes to food number four the Kodiak arrest challenge the Alaskan food scene may not get a whole lot of attention but viewers interest was definitely piqued after seeing the challenge in this episode it's time to eat my way into Alaskan food lore Richmond headed to the interestingly named Humpy's Alaska nail house to try out the so very punny Kodiak arrest challenge local specialties were the focus here with king crab legs Alaskan salmon and reindeer meat all featuring on the menu the first bite brings me to a state of euphoria [Music] Adam had an hour and a half to finish the seven courses of this meal which totaled about six pounds in weight in the end Richmond actually became the first person to ever win this one a hen with 43 minutes to spare the proud winner of this t-shirt number three the win CIL's Oyster House challenge in season four of man vs. food the format was switched up so that competitors around the country could participate in challenges on the show with Adam Richman as their coach I laid down my shucking gloves I shake your shucking hands and let's start this shucking challenge let's get it out this challenge a twin CIL's Oyster House in Mobile Alabama featured Big Joe Evans trying to reclaim his first place title by eating 422 raw oysters in under an hour unfortunately he still got over 300 mollis to go it had been nearly a decade since he set a record by eating 406 but this time around he didn't manage to make it close to 400 if you want to see Richmond himself knock back tons of seafood check out the Davy Jones locker challenge in the Long Island episode because pain is temporary pride is forever and seafood is freakin delicious especially on Long Island number two the 10-pound stuffed pizza challenge of the 442 two-person teams that had attempted the stuffed pizza challenge at Randy's Wooster Street pizza shop only two had ever prevailed one of these winners was Greg malunion who teamed up with Richman to try to bring home a second win they had to consume a 10 pound Pizza stuffed with an unimaginable amount of meat cheese and vegetables in under an hour go any further the thing that made this one so exciting is that they really left it down to the wire finishing all their crusts with only a moment to spare I've eaten the stuffed pizza challenge one second left congratulations before we unveil our number one pick here are some honorable mentions [Applause] like swallowing is now getting a little hard as you can tell like a little ice cream baby happening get through the second third [Applause] [Music] number one the fire in your hole wings challenge while many of the entries that made our top ten are there because of the obscene quantities of food offered up this one featured a totally normal amount of chicken wings just ten so what makes this challenge so challenging well the munchies 420 cafe in Sarasota makes their wings pretty much as spicy as possible using a combination of habaneros cayenne and ghost chili extract which men had 20 minutes to eat them and wasn't allowed to drink any milk to help ease the pain he only managed to get two down before giving up and this was the first time in the show that a spicy food challenge had bested him Florida a bunch is 4:20 in the Battle of man versus food food definitely won you please close the door please
