Who knew Adam Richman is such a wimp?
The host of the Travel Channel’s popular show “Man v. Food” got his butt kicked by Chompies’ Ultimate Slider Challenge in March 2010, but that hasn’t stopped a parade of locals from accomplishing the feat.
Benjamin Magilke (pictured) is the latest. Last week the Scottsdale resident became the eighth such winner in less than two years, according to the restaurant’s online Hall of Fame.
To win the challenge, one must consume 12 “Jewish Sliders” filled with brisket, mini potato pancakes and jack cheese in less than 30 minutes. With a side of brown gravy and homemade onion strings, it all weighs in around 5 pounds.
My question: Why do all eight winners so far look like they tip the scales under 180 pounds?
