7 lb. Monster Migas Breakfast Challenge

Saturday I attempted this 7lb. Migas challenge at J&J BBQ & Burgers in Cedar Park, TX (just north of Austin). It was HUGE. The migas challenge consisted of a ton of migas (mexican scrambled eggs with pico de gallo, tortilla strips, and lots of cheese), refried beans, and home fries. Once the challenge started, I couldn’t get up, or even stand up, for any reason. The whole meal had to be completed in 1 hour. It was delicious. Check out the video to see whether I was able to beat it.

5 lb. BAT Breakfast Taco Challenge

Mid March of this year (2022), I attempted The Box Bakery and Kitchen BAT (Big Ass Taco) Challenge, and it was delicious! The challenge consisted of a 5 lb. breakfast taco filled with beans, potatoes, eggs, sausage, bacon, and cheese; the salsa I added was optional. The BAT challenge needed to be eaten in 30 minutes to be proclaimed a winner. Although I did manage to finish the BAT challenge, my time was nowhere close to the record, and was one of the mid to slower times at 24:28 min. This breakfast taco was great, and the Box Bakery & Kitchen makes some amazing treats! Check them out.

3 Massive 16″ Pancakes Challenge

In March 2022 I was blessed to be able to go skiing with my son and Dad in New Mexico, and we had a blast. One morning during that trip, we drove to Red River, NM where I attempted the Old Tymers Cafe pancake challenge. The challenge consisted of (3) massive thick/fluffy pancakes which needed to be eaten in 1 hour.

The Pancakes

The waitress described the size of them as 3 medium 16” pizzas. I chose to get 1 blueberry, 1 chocolate chip, and 1 regular pancake. I also topped them with peanut butter and syrup (1 topping at a time). If I failed, I was going to have to wash my own dishes. That being said, there was plenty of time so I didn’t race through them and enjoyed them. They were delicious. I finished them in 35 minutes. Attached are a few photos.

First Post

In the Beginning

At the time of this post, my last challenge was this Grand Pancake Stack.  This is my first post, and the beginning of my food experiences and challenges. I am a foodie, and few months ago, I discovered I could eat quite a bit more than I ever believed I could. Since that discovery, I have attempted a few food challenges, having both successes and failures. Since I have fun attempting these food challenges, I have been encouraged by my family to start sharing my eating experiences.

Over the next few weeks, I will post photos of some of my past challenges. Also, going forward, I will continue to post photos, and I will also try and capture video to post as well.

Grand Pancake Stack

As for this food challenge, I was recently challenged by a friend to go to Red Oak Cafe in League City, TX to take on their Grand Pancake Stack Challenge. On Saturday 7/16 we went, and I attempted it.  This was my 2nd time to attempt this challenge.  The challenge consisted of 6 giant pancakes with 3 add-ins (in each), and it had to be completed in 30 min. My friend has seen some of the large meals I have eaten in the past and wanted to see me try this. The pancakes at Red Oak Cafe were so amazing, I welcomed doing this again. These too some of the best pancakes I have ever eaten. In the end, I finished the stack of pancakes in 22:09 min.  My previous time on 2/16/22 was 29:02 min; I finished just under the 30 min limit.
