Any Food Challenge Joints in Tulsa?

[guido911]

I'm a big fan of Man v. Food and similar pig out shows. Are there any restaurants in the local area that has food challenges (i.e. quantity, heat, etc.)?

What's on an Incinerator?  I assume it's a pizza.  I doubt I could eat a large one but the name sounds interesting for a small or medium.

I was thinking: "That's no big deal...Meh!" Then I caught the part about the pancakes.  I've seen some joint on Man V. Food with massive pancakes and thought: "What's the point in eating till you are sick on purpose?"

Trying to remember it all off the top of my head..
Pepperoni, Hot Links, Sliced Habaneros, Wasabi Arrabiata sauce, Ghost Pepper Siracha swirl on the top.

I ate half a medium fine except it gave me heartburn. For Trogdor, it cured his heatburn, go figure. I'm with you in the fact I'm not sure I can eat a large of any well topped pizza, regardless of heat.

Pizza, chile, spaghetti w/tomato sauce, pretty much anything with preserved tomatos gives me heartburn but I still like the taste so I might as well enjoy it the first time.  Surprisingly, hot chile peppers generally don't bother me and I like spicey food, except salt.  I've grown accustomed to low salt foods, which is one reason I don't eat a lot of restaurant food.

Wings 2 Go has a 30 hotwings in 15 minutes challenge.  

I know a guy that would bankrupt such places.  And no, it's not me.  The wings place on 11th by TU (that might be Wings 2 Go but not sure) he ate 25 in 6 minutes.  He ate so much that when we were on a trip to Shreveport, we stopped at a Western Sizzlin' in Texarkana for the buffet.  Mind you, this is a place where they provide the plates each time they come back to your table.  After a while, the waitress quit bringing plates to him.

The only other place I've been where I've seen such a thing was at the Big Texan in Amarillo.  You have to eat the 72 oz steak.

THERE IS A KEN'S PIZZA IN CHANDLER, OK.!!
On Route 66!

And another one in Prague and Eufala.  And the Chandler one tastes the same.  (Better than it's step-child Mazzio's).

I thought they were all gone.  Wonderful!  Road Trip!!!

It's been a while since I ate in a Ken's vs. a Mazzio's but I don't remember Ken's being any better than Mazzio's.

[heironymouspasparagus]

The big difference is in the crust and the sauce.  Ken's originally was a thin, crispy crust, with a very subtle sauce.  Mazzio's started out as a thicker crust and a more intense sauce.  (I am suspicious there may be MSG in it.  Due to the intensity and the friends who get MSG type headaches when eat there.)

I like them both a lot, but Ken's is a particular favorite.  As was Shakey's.

That would be no problem for my 19 year old son.   We call him the human garbage disposal.

I may have found the "subtle sauce" a bit bland but don't really remember.  I like the crust thick enough to hold a bunch of stuff.  A thin layer of sauce, cheese, and a few slices of pepperoni just doesn't cut it for me.

However, I don't remember disliking Kens, Shakeys, or another one that I can't remember the name of that I think was on 51st just west of either Sheridan or Yale on the north side of the street.

I like pizza.  I just need to have some Maalox on hand for later.

[heironymouspasparagus]

There was a Shakey's out there.  Also up on Sheridan at about 17th.  Seems like there was a Godfathers somewhere out south for a while, too, but can't remember where.

Pizza Huts, too.

Also for the 'bulk burger' approach there was a Sandy's burgers over on Yale (32nd?) that sold 10 cheeseburgers for a dollar and 12 hamburgers for the dollar.
