Next Adam went to Mi Nidito Restaurant to try the dish created for Bill Clinton. A chile relleno, a chicken enchilada, a tamale, a pinto bean tostada topped with cheese, and a shreded beef taco. The food is all authentic Mexican. The recipes came from the owners parents who were the original owners from Sonora Mexico. I’m really jealous of the people of Tuscon! The Mexican restaurant in my town is super delicious  but they don’t deep fry their chile rellenos and they don’t put shredded beef in their tacos either.

The Challenge took place at Lindy’s Diner on 4th. They have the most creative burgers I’ve  ever heard of, peanut butter and bacon burgers and Mac and Cheese burgers. Adam was there to take on the omg burger though.  It was made out of 12 quarter lb. patties, six slices of cheddar cheese and six slices of swiss cheese topped off with onion, lettuce, tomato and homemade chipotle sauce. If Adam would have ate it in twenty min. it would have been on the house but nonetheless he did complete it and he got his photo on the wall of fame. I kind of figured Adam would complete the challenge it couldn’t have been much more than 4 lbs. of food and I’ve sen him eat as much as 7 lbs. of food.

Before the challenge Adam went to Cothams to try the biggest burger in town “the hubcap”. Cothams was built in 1917 as a general mercantile store in the Scott area for area farmers and plantation owners. In 1984, a small eating area was opened to serve lunch to area farmers. Adam decided to get the quadruple hubcap with double dipped onion rings. The burger and onion rings looked very tasty. I’d probably take it home and work on it for about a week!

Adams final stop was at Mean Pigs BBQ to attempt the habinero pulled pork challenge. The pork shoulders are smoked outback. Out of the thousands who have tried the challenge only 60 survived. Adam was already sweating after the first couple of bites. Adam then decided to eat it as fast as he could to finish. Adam had to keep it down for 5 min. after finishing it.which looked easy enough because he was able to have beverages. So Adam successfully completed another challenge. I think by now he has a stomach of iron!

Next Adam went to the West Rib Cafe and Pub which was named after a treacherous route in Mt. McKinley. Adam tried a 4 1/2 lb. burger made of ham, bacon, cheese and caribou. The burger was constructed of two 1 lb. caribou patties, a toasted sour dough bun on the grill, 6 pieces of American, six pieces of Swiss, 6 pieces of bacon, a lb. of ham, a sauce made out of mayonnaise, bacon, and balsamic vinaigrette, caramelized onions, lettuce and tomato. Every burger comes with a lb. of fries. Adam said the caribou is lean but not gamey.

Adams final stop was in Anchorage at restaurant called Humphy’s to attempt the 6-pound Kodiak Arrest challenge. It is a 6 lb. 7 coarse sampling that consists of  Seven 2 oz. salmon cakes, 3 lbs. of Alaskan king crab (looks so delicious) and a footlong reindeer sausage , topped off with sauteed vegetables and mashed potatoes plus dessert. Adam had 90 min. to finish. One of the problems is it takes a long time to deshell 3 lbs. of crab legs. Adam started off tearing into the reindeer sausage  and potatoes then he took on the salmon cakes. Adam started to struggle with the crab at the 30 minute mark but he finished the  crab. The challenge wasn’t completed though, Adam still had to eat a lb. of ice cream but he did it! He was the first to finish the challenge and he finished it in 47 min.

Then he went to Spumoni Gardens to try the square “thick crust Sicilian style pizza”.  On the square they add the cheese before the sauce, then it’s dusted with Romano cheese, and topped with olive oil. The owner started Spumoni Gardens on a horse and buggy that served spumoni ice cream which is chocolate, vanilla and pistachio ice cream.

Finally Adam came to face his demons one more time by trying the  suicide six wing challenge once again at Buffalo Cantina. Buffalo Cantina is also known for their tacos and burritos.The suicide wing sauce is created with Jalapeno, Serrano, chili de arbol, and habanero peppers. The thing that makes the challenge harder is that you have to keep the food in your mouth till the timer is up. That must be the hottest challenge ever because I’ve never seen Adam wear rubber gloves in a challenge. Adam struggled through the challenge but he finished all the wings. What a rematch! This week on Man v. Food man won!

Before attempting the challenge Adam went to Slows BBQ. They offer hickory smoked chicken wings, brisket enchilada (that looks amazingly good) and much more. Adam was there to try the triple threat pork which is their signature dish. It’s made with a grilled poppy seed bun, applewood smoked bacon, hickory smoked pork butt and grilled ham. They have 7 specialty sauces. On top he put orange pop BBQ sauce made with real orange pop. Yummy Yummy!

The Challenge took place at Mallie’s Sports Grill and Bar. Adam got together a team of 40 hometown heroes such as local fire fighters, police, the roller derby, and Kiss impersonators to try the 190 lb. Absolute ridiculous burger (which is the biggest burger in the world). The burger took over a day to make. it was topped off with 10 lbs. of assorted cheeses , 15 lbs. of vegetables and 4 lbs. of bacon. They only had 2 hours to eat it. In just half an hour they went through over 100 lbs. Then the team started to fade with 55 lbs. left. When there was only 10 min. left there was still 35 lbs. left on their plates. In the end they didn’t quite make it but that was a crazy amount of food even for 40 people. I would never want to be part of that challenge because a lot of those plates looked like just meat, but that is astounding that someone could make such a monstrosity of a burger.

Before the challenge Adam headed to Ricky’s Crab House and Seafood Restaurant. Adam was super excited to try the crab cakes. Adam was totally in his glory trying the crab cakes, and he also was psyched about trying the blue crabs. I love crab legs but never tried blue crab, after watching this episode I have to try it. Adam made it look so juicy and succulent.

Adam’s challenge this week was at a place called Steak & Main. For the challenge Adam had to eat 5 cuts of meat and a lb. of sides in one hour.The steaks in the challenge were an 8 oz. filet mignon, a 12 oz. of prime rib, 2, 13 oz.delmonicos,a 12 oz. NY strip, and a 16 oz. flat iron steak. Dozen’s have tried but only 4 have succeeded. If Adam were to succeed he would gets a hundred bucks, if not he would owe one hundred and forty bucks. 40 min. into the challenge Adam only had one steak left. When the buzzer went off though Adam still had a few bites left on his plate.Unfortunately Adam could not finish the challenge. As far as I’m concerned Adam still totally kicked ass. I mean, he only had a few ounces left. If he had just a few more seconds I know he would have finished.

Next he went to the Flying Pie Pizzeria to try the spicy triple habanero pizza. It was made with tomato sauce, corn meal, mozzarella cheese, chicken and 18 habanero peppers topped off with garlic and black olives. That pizza was hot to Adam, so I’ll definitely never try it. A lot of their other pizzas looked really good though. I would love to try the lamb pizza.

Finally Adam went to Rockies Diner  to attempt the Johnny b. goode pastrami cheeseburger challenge.There have been Over 1000 attempts and only 30 completed the challenge. It is made out of 3 1/3 lb. hamburger patties topped with pastrami, a hot dog, chili, swiss, cheddar and onions. The burger weighs 4 1/2lbs. plus he had to eat a 1 1/2 lb.order of chili cheese fries and a 16 oz. milk shake. To make it worse Adam had to finish in 30 min. to win the challenge. If he does finish he gets a fender guitar. Holy crap he did it again and finished right in the nick of time. Adam’s getting good, I’m impressed!

Next he went to try a concoction called the horse shoe at Darcy’s Pint.  It started out as  ham shaped like a horse shoe on Texas toast with shoe string french fries, and cheese sauce. There are now 50 different varieties. Adam tried the hamburger horseshoe. Looks Delicious!

Finally Adam goes to attempt 5 bowls of the fire brand chili at Joe Rodgers. Adam struggled with the first bowl but went through bowl two and three quickly (go Adam go!).  After bowl four it looked like he might have went to the limit but he managed to dig deep and finish bowl number five. So he tied the record. Adam is a beast when it comes to food challenges!

On this past Wednesday’s Man V. Food Adam Richman visited 3 baseball stadiums to try the ballpark food. He stopped at GCS Stadium, Joseph P. Riley Jr. Park, and the Fifth-Third Ballpark. Adam wowed us again by finishing the fifth third burger in his food challenge. This burger had a one lb bun, chili, five third lb. hamburger patties, 5 slices of cheese, nacho cheese sauce, tortilla chips, lettuce, tomato,  salsa, and sour cream. It amazes me the way that man can eat. I would personally love to eat a nacho burger just not so big.  The home wrecker looked pretty gross, at least the way he made it.  Although the burger with the Krispy Kreme doughnut looked very interesting. Who would ever think to cut a glazed doughnut in half, grill it and use it as the bun for a bacon cheese burger. I am a big fan of salty sweet combinations but I think that burger might be a little to intense for me. The stadium also offers the most delicious looking nacho’s I’ve ever seen, philly cheesesteak nachos. All in all I think the baseball episode rocked.  Comments after the jump.
