Man Vs Food - These MANiacs need your help !

Ladies and Gentlemen , I interrupt your regularly scheduled veggie filled mania ... for something a little different :

MAN VS FOOD

My good friend Ryan is starting his second cross country trip next week ! A friend of his is moving to San Fransisco and so he and the Bros are packing up the car and heading west. There is something about these bros and the open road that agree. Like wolves in the wild they unleash upon the road .. ok ... at least that's what I've been told. Lets be honest , I'm a girl and bro code doesn't really allow me to know the full extent of these wild journeys.

Last time Ryan drove across country he developed an affinity for a little thing called : Man V Food. For those of you who aren't aware of this , its a show on the travel channel where Adam Richman ... basically makes a profession out of extreme eating.

For Ryan, I think it all really started in college. Being a stubborn and determined fellow  he was hell bent to have a record for wing eating at our local Tuesday night wing joint. When he graduated he held the record for eating the most "insanity" wings ( I couldn't eat ONE) . A couple years later .. when he found out someone had kicked his but , he went back and did it again. It was about the honor. He had to maintain it !

So last year on his journey west . He participated in the Big Texan 72 oz Free Steak Competition . You eat a 72 oz steak in an hour and its free. (ooo lucky you !) the worst part is ... if you fail ... YOU PAY  ! You don't mess with Texas folks.

just a couple o buck a roos ..



72 oz of BEEF



Journeying forward in his own hometown of Annapolis ; Ryan and his fellow road tripping buddy ... completed the Man Vs Food Challenge at Chick N Ruths ...  drink a 6 pound milkshake  and a 2 lb burger...I would never want to LOOK at a milkshake again

Its safe to say they've got the fever for  a man vs. food challenge. So folks , this is where we need your help. On his journey west , what man vs. food challenge should Ryan participate it ?
