If so, we’ve got just the thing for you – 7 challenges across New Hampshire that will test the limits of your iron stomach, and your will. Are you game?
- KC’s Rib Shack, Manchester
KC’s Rib Shack
TripAdvisor/Angela S. Are you a barbecue lover? Then come hungry to KC’s Rib Shack and step up to the Feedbag Challenge. Take down the Feedbag Shovel, usually recommended for 3-5 people to share, in under 30 minutes to get your meal free and your name and photo on the wall. You’d better be ready for this one - you’ll need to take down 6 pounds of barbecue, including every type of meat they serve (a full rack of ribs is just the beginning), plus two sides and cornbread. You’ll find this tasty shovel at 837 Second St, Manchester, NH 03102.
- Chez Vachon, Manchester
TripAdvisor/Charlie03045
Chez Vachon No need to drive north to get some delicious poutine when Chez Vachon in Manchester is serving up all sorts of varieties. For the Grand Poutine Challenge, though, you’ll stick with the classic - five pounds of fries smothered in cheese curds and gravy. Victors get their picture added to the wall of fame if they finish under an hour - no bathroom breaks allowed. Check it out at 136 Kelley St, Manchester, NH 03102.
- Wing-Itz, Portsmouth
Yelp/Derek F.
Facebook/bestwingsnh Wing-Itz offers up a challenge that makes up in pain what it lacks in gut-busting quantity. Get through ten of their hottest wings in less than ten minutes - no napkins or drinks allowed - to get your photo on the Wall of Flame. Try it if you dare at 2100 Lafeyette Rd., Portsmouth, NH 03801.
- Billy’s Sports Bar, Manchester
Yelp/Ian W.
Facebook/Billys.sportsbar You’d better eat fast for this one. Take down 5 separate 1/2 pound burgers with Canadian bacon, swiss cheese, and barbecue sauce, plus a basket of fries and five pickles, in under half an hour for glory. You’ll get your meal free plus a t-shirt and your picture on the Wall of Fame. Eat up at 34 Tarrytown Rd, Manchester, NH 03103.
- Sandwich Master, Rindge
Facebook/sandwichmasterplus
Facebook/Sandwichmasterplus This isn’t exactly what we’d call a light lunch. The Nutcase is a sandwich that clocks in at almost ten pounds, with layers including macaroni and cheese, onion rings, chicken fingers, and a burger and fries, each separated by a grilled cheese sandwich. If you can make your way through this monstrosity, you’ll earn a Sandwich Master t-shirt. Try it for yourself at 19 Sonja Drive, Rindge, NH.
- Tuckaway Tavern and Butchery, Raymond
Facebook/TheTuckaway
Facebook/TheTuckaway Not only is this dinner free if you polish off, you’ll even get a $100 gift card! Now that’s a deal that’s hard to turn down, if you can make it through four whole burgers in one sitting that is. Take the bet at 58 Route 27 Raymond, NH 03077.
There’s no time like the present to achieve foodie glory. Get out your stretchiest pants and prepare yourself for a belly-busting bonanza! Just be sure to call ahead, as terms can change and some restaurants need advance notice to prepare these gargantuan meals.
