Where To Get Your Man Vs. Food On

27th February 2019 | By Lottie Hulme

Smith & Wollensky

Holy Crepe

We’ve all heard the saying “go hard or go home,” and, in this context, it turns out Smith & Wollensky will be doing anything but go home this Pancake Day, creating their biggest ever pancake stack that’s got us salivating. The steak restaurant will be holding a Man vs Pancake challenge which doesn’t sound like too mean a feat! If you manage to combat the pancakes in all of their gloopy goodness then you walk away for free but you’ve got to do it under an hour (and not be sick, of course). So, for one day and one day only fill your boots and bellies with pancakes – good luck!

Fat Boys Cafe

Breakfast Blowouts

Sucker for a fry up? Us too. Although we’re not sure how we’d fare when it comes to a five lb plate of breakfast foods to be consumed within an hour. Prizes include a free meal – which we’re sure you won’t want to eat straight after – alongside a ravishing place on the wall of fame. Win or loose you’re going to need a bigger pair of trousers, that’s for sure…

Man Vs. Food Resto

Truly Sickening

Man Vs. Food isn’t just a challenge but a whole restaurant dedicated to the challenges – wow. The utterly mad food feats include the banana split belly splitter – even the name is bleurgh – which features 3lbs of vanilla ice cream, two bananas, whipped cream, chocolate and toffee sauce, nuts, sprinkles and cherries. Sound delicious? Think again when your head’s over the loo. Or, for the savoury fans, try a meter long hot dog involving nine frankfurters, chilli con-carne, jalapeños, cheese and onions in under half an hour. You’ve got to be made of hard stuff to take on this restaurant!

Viet Eat

Pho-get The Bill

Whilst a pho challenge is not the first thing that comes to mind when you imagine stuffing your face in a Man v Food affair, London is full of pho-nomenal surprises. Viet Eat offers a pho and bun challenge that sees its participators pay £35 for the meal, or win £50 upon completion and eat for free. The small print on what is actually involved is pretty thin on the ground so you’ll just have to go and find out for yourselves…

Sweet Desserts

Bringing All The Boys To The Yard

Not so much of a food challenge so to speak but we just had to include these massive milkshakes courtesy of Sweet Desserts because, let’s face it, that’s quite the helping. These outrageous shakes are served in mason jars and can be topped with cookies, ice cream sandwiches, giant chunks of cookie dough, or even an entire slice of Victoria sponge cake. We’re not sure if we’re dying to have one or full at the thought!

The Pride Of Paddington

Chick, Chick, Chicken

The ever so greedy people behind The Pride of Paddington pub have created not one but three whoppin’ food challenges. Going by the name of Terry Tucker, the challenge puts forward a burger, chicken wing and parmigiana challenge, each one as grotesque – but delicious – as the next. The price is a slap up spot on the hall of fame, or shame depending on your performance, with time frames of under 10 or 20 minutes for each. And if you think those timings seem generous then be prepared to think again upon seeing the portion sizes…
