Orochon Ramen Special #2 Challenge (AS SEEN ON MAN v. FOOD!)

100th video! Destroying the Orochon Special #2 Challenge!
SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE VIDS: goo.gl/kHml36
In March 2013, I went to Orochon Ramen (Los Angeles, CA) to take on their Special #2 challenge, as seen on "Man v. Food." Finish this large bowl of spicy ramen in 30 minutes and your picture goes on the Wall of Bravery.
I chose the miso broth and spent about eight bucks. Good deal. The spice blend may be a heavily guarded secret, but it really wasn't that bad. Stupidly tried to chug the broth, and the spice hit the back of my throat, causing me to cough. Otherwise, no big deal.
I hung out with Molly Schuyler for the day. And yes, she also finished the Special #2. Heck, she demolished it. I kinda wish now that one of us got it on camera.
Initially, I thought it took me 23 minutes to finish, and I put that on the picture that's now on the Wall of Bravery. I played the video back while editing and realized it only took me 18 minutes. Either way, I still defeated the challenge with a bunch of time to spare.
I heard Orochon makes an even spicier ramen that's not on the menu, so I'll have to try that in the future.

[@FreakEating]

Without a doubt one of the damn hottest on-menu dishes in LA.

[@AaronFoodAdventures]

FreakEating Spice was there, but also tasty :-)

[@wait4meguys]

I want to eat this so badly. Words cannot express how much I want to eat this.

[@PoppaPickett]

Nice job Aaron! I'm always in awe at how you can do all these spicy things.

[@TophBeiF0ng]

I like how your face is totally expressionless through out. Totally unfazed by the heat.

[@promiseualways]

Good job! You're the first I've seen finish it so far.

[@15seconds3]

Nice to see a WIN of the challenge for a change.

[@RDY_MNT]

I been to this place and seen people take this challenge. Unlike this guy, they turned red and poured with sweat! this guy is a champ!

[@Phis213]

Damn!!!! Your crazy bro. I've tried it before and dude not even halfway! Way to go though...

[@lorrainethepain]

That looks like the same bowl your Foster banana split came in...lol...I love those bowls...I have one just like it...

[@maisysmarket]

love your official challenges . you have to do more

[@seaFoodSifu]

You are a killer! I just tried this yesterday and couldn't get past more than a few bites of soup. Did not expect such a salty broth, to be honest (I got miso). My face went numb very quickly and my stomach already felt uncomfortable. We watched your video as motivation during our meal, but we personally couldn't keep going.

[@promiseualways]

Well, I can say you finished it with class!! ;-)! Anywho, you have a way to make it seem easy!!

[@FreakEating]

Sweet video and music :) we gotta do the double next time!

[@Frostclaw]

I'm impressed. I think 2 or 1 (not the special 1 or 2) is the highest I've gone, and I was sweating buckets. I like spicy food, but don't think I could handle special #2 at my age. Maybe a decade or more ago, but now I'd probably have to spend 24 hours in bed to recover.

[@mikisudo]

You would never know it was spicy by the way you ate it!

[@tommcfadden86]

Your a machine aaron thank you

[@97VR4]

Nice challenge man. But.....I got you beat by 5 minutes. I inhaled it in 13 minutes flat. I might even try two bowls at the same time and try it under 30 minutes. Good job!

[@UltimateGamerCC]

nicely done, except for the chug fail of course lol

[@lidae9852]

wow ur king of eating spicy food ❤

[@seaFoodSifu]

Thanks Aaron, you're the man!

[@tomtik101]

If I were you, since people were watching, I would've gave them a REAL show, by chugging a bottle of Hot Sauce right after.

[@martinanasco7628]

Still watching 2020

[@nortonyong7812]

Ugh, i tried this challenge yesterday and i didn't finish it :( Theres just so much to finish in so little time.

[@kross65]

I really gotta do this soon. Maybe I will next time I'm in LA area. It would be even better paired with Wakasaya!

[@seeweed22]

Gj Aaron. Did you find this challenge difficult?

[@ninibby10]

You're awesome, I just subscribed

[@M0d3rator]

I wanna eat this. Now.

[@kross65]

Wakasaya and Mix n' munch are probably my two favorite LA area challenges. . .so yes, it's a travesty if you don't hit those up.

[@Afmedic85]

I've been to orochon ramen, the food was delicious (and really cheap too considering how big the bowls were) I didn't attempt the challenge though.

[@joelleandemma3437]

OMG so cool good job!!!!!!

[@11Anti11]

I took the trip here in July, really disappointed with the Ramen :(

[@distantgalaxymusic1447]

WOW!

[@unionrdr]

Like a boss!

[@jhr37623]

Was your face always puckered up like that?

[@danieldougan269]

There's a reason it's #2 on the menu.

[@davkhr]

Did you have the runs after?

[@AaronFoodAdventures]

devad4trs I was fine :-)

[@outandbak]

Wow

[@DailYxDosE]

Where can I find out how to make this a home? Or at least where to eat it?

[@AaronFoodAdventures]

Orochon Ramen is in Los Angeles. On the Man v. Food episode, the owner said the stock and spices are a secret.

[@11Anti11]

It's quite simple to make, cayenne powder, chilli powder, jalapenos is the base of the spice. Then just add in 2 packs of instant ramen.

[@seaFoodSifu]

11Anti11 Let me know when you open your own successful restaurant with that recipe. You oversimplify things.

[@seaFoodSifu]

Very original.

[@alaina21]

Nummyyyyyyyy

[@TomatoOtters]

lmao listen at 2:50ish sandstorm

[@SmoKeSome357]

It's Nathan....

[@tanaka510]

how much was it?

[@crystalteardrop2605]

It was like 9 dollars

[@AsknotwhatUcan]

That's Pho' ked up!

[@killy4663]

i beat this no problem. wasn't bad at all.

[@Altair9678]

Damn...Get in My Belly...good job:)

[@heartlessoni13]

I'd handle the spice level, finishing would be the hard part. If finishing it is part of the challenge, i'd lose since i can't eat THAT amount off food. Especially ramen (pasta) and broth (sodium in liquid form) I'll go try it out, but just to eat not to challenge them. I hope its not an automatic thing. lol I just love spicy food!

[@eelomaa]

You should at least film an intro

[@jamesspohn992]

stole the song from the BBQ Pit Boys

[@chendang3780]

DUDE how are u still skinny do u just eat alot in the videos????

[@danny3571]

[@SmoKeSome357]

[@luis956ldo2]

[@broteintoomane4352]
