I assume we all know of a few places in our respective local areas that offer eating challenges. Usually they take the form of finishing a massive amount of food in a limited space of time, and you get the meal for free and sometimes your name/picture on the wall or a free t-shirt or whatever.

So I really want to do this. xD

My friend and I have looked into two possibilities:

  • Jack's Challenge at Outback Jack's. 1kg rump steak with potato wedges and steamed vegetables and it needs to be finished under half an hour. By completing the challenge, we would get a t-shirt and the meal for free.

  • The Ramen Challenge at Komachi Japanese Restaurant. No specifics available on the website, but the bowl looks massive. Have to finish both the noodles and soup in one hour. By completing the challenge, we would get a $100 meal voucher and the meal for free.


I'm leaning towards the ramen. Mostly because I think half an hour for that much steak and sides is impossible, but also because $100 seems more useful to me than a t-shirt.

Anyone ever attempt something like this before? Any advice/tips? Anything I haven't considered?
