Hi
Would a category where food or meal challenges be worth pursuing?
Alot of local/independent restaurants/pubs have come up with challenge or different challenges ideas to get more customers in the doors and to seperate themselves from the national chain restaurants. Challenges could be either food or NON ALCOHOLIC drink (milk shakes, soda, etc..)
Challenges may be individual or group challenges, such as eating a 5 pound hamburger within an hour.
Or maybe a pizza place has a 3 foot square pizza that 2 people are allowed to attempt to consume in a certian period of time. There are also places that have extremely hot(spicy) food challenges, such as consuming 12 "atomic" hot chicken wings in 15 minutes.
Some are serious, offering large cash prizes or expensive gifts. Most, though, only offer a small token or incentive ( a tee shirt, free meal, photo on a "wall of Fame") to keep the participants intrest. Some also cater to the loosers, having again tee shirts and or a "wall of "Shame".
Would not be looking for places where competitive food eating contests are held, unless held in an establishment that offers a daily challenge to the general public.
Thanks for all views and responses, both positive and negative!
