THE MACHO TOTCHO CHALLENGE FROM MAN V FOOD | ATLANTA PT.1 | BeardMeatsFood

Welcome to Atlanta, Georgia folks! Day one and we're at The Nook On Piedmont to take on their 'Macho Totcho' Challenge...
This thing was famously failed by the new host on Man V Food, despite a valiant effort. And having seen it, I can understand why. The rules of the challenge are as follows; you get 45 minutes to take down a mountain of tater tots, pulled pork, chicken, chilli, mac 'n cheese, bacon, sour cream and jalapeños, covered in bbq, cheese and buffalo sauce. Finish it inside the allotted time and not only is the meal FREE but you get two winner's t-shirts and a spot on their wall of fame. Lose and it's $40!

ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS & ADDITIONAL INFO:
Q: How come you don’t get fat?
A: I eat like this for 1 hour of a 168 hour long week. In simple terms, I eat at caloric maintenance over the course of time, meaning I don’t gain weight. If you're interested in learning more, see the ‘But How Come You're Not Fat' and 'It Was Just A Normal Day...' videos available on my channel.
Q: Don’t you worry about your health?
A: Not in particular. I’m active. I eat nutrient dense foods five days a week. And, I get quarterly bloods done, amongst other health checks.

[@LeonardeMarco]

Well spotted

[@Treborbobuk]

Mate that's so true, makes me feel bad for us here in the UK - the other side of the Atlantic people just seem to be automatically friendly, but here in England you seem to have to earn peoples good graces!

[@fatrunner]

@@Treborbobuk I think some of it is the tipping culture in the USA. Staff want it to be busy so they get more tips. Therfore they have a vested interest in the business. In the UK it's often people on low fixed wages who don't really care how busy the place is or if people come back.

[@xx-yq1eu]

That first waiter had the sweetest smile too, genuinely brightened my day a bit

[@MournfulDust]

@@fatrunner Sounds logical, also adds up with my experience that, once you've been to the same place a few times and the staff sees you appreciate their work & tip them decently (which some people just doesn't seem to do) they tend to warm up quite a bit.

[@davidmills7046]

Let me just say that I'm glad more places embrace eating comps and do not try to sabotage or get upset when a pro comes in, makes for a much more enjoyable video and makes the eateries look good too. That looked horribly massive to me. No way I could eat even a 1/5th of that. Edit: Welcome back to the US.

[@MagikFingers420]

Remember is free publicity for tourists who wants to see new places. His videos could brings lots of travelers over the years.

[@TerryProthero]

One fifth of that is literally a normal order. And I think you might be right about that. I'm thinking their normal orders are very generous. It's huge plate of food. And they put five of them on that plate. 5 pounds of tatter tots and another pound of other ingredients for a total weight of 6 pounds.

[@deadinthewater218]

Yeah it's awkward as all get out when they go into places that aren't so obliging. It's like, "why the hell do you have a food challenge then?"

I once had some people from Germany come into the bar I work at. They asked me what a tater tot was. I said "it's like a bite-sized hash brown." They asked me what a hash brown was. I learned then that there wasn't really any way to explain what a tater tot was without making it sound kind of gross. Now I know that they do have hash browns in Germany, they're just called rosti.

[@pflaumenaugust876]

Yeah, we have some variation of tater tots in Germany - we call them "Kroketten". But our Kroketten are just a basic, mildly seasoned, deep fried potato dough, no onions, no garlic. They are served as a side dish, for example to some roast with gravy. We know "Rösti" (hash browns) as a typical Swiss specialty.

“Queso” is a Mexican blend of cheese usually melted if in the states. “Bean chili” also a type because we have bean and meat.

[@kyuketsuki5736]

Yeah, it's similar to a tot casserole, a common 50-70s recipe that used frozen/caned foods to replace the traditional fresh varients. They typically use potato tots, potato rounds, or hashbrown pucks as a main starch with a savory sauce and vegetables, some of the common ones I remember is a ground beef and mushroom soup base with potato tots on top, or a hashbrown patty base with an egg mixture with meats/veg served by the slice (think firmer quiche).
