For those foodies who want to put their appetites to the test, there are a number of Brazos Valley restaurants that offer difficult food challenges to see if they can eat a large meal in a determined amount of time. From breakfast to sandwiches, each challenge is unique to its host restaurant and has different rules and regulations. Do you think your stomach is up to the test? Here are some challenges to get you started!
The War Pig Challenge
Extreme breakfast lovers unite and head to Classic Rock Coffee Co. & Kitchen to attempt The War Pig Challenge by eating a massive three pound sandwich, consisting of seven slices of wheat berry toast, 12 slices of bacon, 12 breakfast sausages, six eggs,12 slices of provolone cheese and 18 slices of ham. The catch — challenge seekers only have 15 minutes to finish and those who do not finish are responsible for the $49.95 cost of the sandwich. Those who successfully complete the challenge will receive a $49.95 gift card, t-shirt and their picture on the wall.
“Model vs Food” YouTuber Joel Hanson was the first to attempt the challenge in October 2022 and helped to launch its existence on his channel. Not only did Hansen attempt the challenge, he decided to try to eat two War Pig sandwiches and succeeded, finishing in 25 minutes and 40 seconds!
The War Pig Challenge was opened to the public in Spring 2023, but it has yet to have been attempted. Those wanting to try this challenge should contact the store at (936) 727-5613 at least 24 hours in advance.
