In November we wrote about the most epic food challenges around town. You know, giant burritos, a super hot wing, massive pizza, and other foods you need to finish in a set amount of time.
By why simply write about the fun when you have willing eaters to try the goods themselves? That’s where Top Chef contestant Manny Barella and our social media manager Max Sutton-Vermeulen come in. The two decided to tackle some of these dishes head on. First up, Fire On the Mountain for the El Jefe wing challenge. Watch the fun, and the tears, below.
Each of the boys had to take on 15 of the El Jefe wings and attempt to finish in under three minutes. No blue cheese, ranch, or celery, and you only get one napkin.
As you saw, one of our challengers killed it and took home swag and got his picture on the wall. The other, well let’s just say he has sworn off of super spicy wings for the time being.
What food competition should we head to next? After all, it’s will be months before the Chicken Fight! Wingapalooza eating competition comes around.
Try the El Jefe challenge for yourself at either of the two Fire On the Mountain locations. 3801 W. 32nd Ave., Denver; 300 S. Logan, Unit 102, Denver, fotmdenver.com
