THE BEST FOOD CHALLENGE I'VE EVER ATTEMPTED | KENDALL'S CHICKEN FRY | OKLAHOMA EP.2 | BeardMeatsFood

Today I'm full of beans, because we're attempting a food challenge which has been on my bucket list for years now...
We're at Kendall's in Noble, Oklahoma having a crack at their infamous, twenty year old, 'Chicken Fry Challenge'!
This thing costs $50 and consists of three huge chicken fried steaks, a double serving of mashed potatoes, double serving of green beans, a biscuit, side salad and two of their renowned cinnamon rolls. Finish inside one hour and it's yours on the house, plus you get a choice of winner's garment (they have a selection of long/short sleeved tops with a bunch of different designs on them).

[@BlessGodMinistry]

All have done evil, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23) The penalty for sin is hell (Revelation 21:8). Because of Gods love for us Jesus Christ came down from heaven to take the punishment for our sin on the cross in which he was spat on, beaten, mocked and laughed at Christ died for the sins of the world and The third day God raised him from the dead (Praise God). This was done so that those who believe on Christ will not perish (hell) but have life everlasting (heaven); be justified by Gods grace through redemption in Christ (John 3:16) (Romans 3:24) The blood Jesus shed on the cross washes away our sin, if we Believe in The Son of God and his finished work (ordained by God) on the cross. When this happens the believer receives the righteousness of Christ in place of their own unrighteousness (all sins are forgiven) and this makes them saved (going heaven) and they are born again as a Christian. (Romans 3:25-26).

You notice the harder challenges are the ones that have a lot of meat. Our body has very specific satiation mechanisms for meat and animal fat. Basically, when you've had your fill, a door slams shut. Those mechanisms can be heavily obscured by carbs and sugar. He always asks for Root beer mid meal or after he finishes all the meat. Root beer is extremely sweet and has tons of sugar in it. He's using that insulin response to allow himself to be able eat more food.

[@TheMacroSlacker]

The sugar also allows the stomach to empty into the small intestine. It may not open to the meat, but some of that liquid could get out and carry some of the other liquified food out.

K.i.s.s. it's cream gravy. 😋

[@mattelmquist4473]

I love how he eats like 5+ pounds of food and then decides he’s gonna have one of the complimentary cinnamon rolls just cause. My lord I felt like I was gonna explode just watching that. Southern comfort food is so filling even in a portion 20% that size

An hour to complete a challenge is an eternity for Adam.

[@joshharris2777]

This place is one of my favorites and right down the road. Great food and great service! Well done Beard!!

[@lostatsee6867]

You always have the best vibes. As an Oklahoman born and raised, that performance at the beginning was stellar. Much love and respect to you, my friend from across the pond.

[@woodson21]

Right on man. I’m from Texas, been eating chicken fried steak my whole life. I’ve never thought of the cream gravy as really being a peppery bechamel. I’m going to use that line the next time I order one. It’s nice to have a British bloke giving us a different angle to see things. Also, “did that announcer say aggressiveness….you mean aggression.” Even classying-up (not a word) college football! You Brits are alright!

[@Weltallgaia]

Gotta lie to the british to get them to try it. Fluffy buttery scones topped in a peppery bechamel sauce instead of biscuits and gravy

[@MonkehBuns]

Just as an aside to British people: we have brown gravy here too. The white gravy is a southern delicacy, and if you are ever in the southern US and have a chance to try biscuits and gravy, you don't want to pass it up. There will usually be crumbled sausage in it, and it's made with bacon grease and is so savory and delicious. You can get it in the north as well, but it's never quite as good.

[@ZephyrrYT]

When we were making bechamel in culinary school I put too much pepper in mine and chef goes "well good job, you just made country gravy." So when he said that I died laughing lol.

[@alanandconnielast]

Yeah we love Texas in the UK all the same..

[@trustmeimaphysiologist]

I've travelled in the States a bit. Now I'm back in Wales, I had to make biscuits and gravy at home as I've experienced Southern Food Withdrawal.

My older brother and I did this challenge about 10 years ago as a pair. Took us about an hour. Still have the cup LOL. You genuinely looked so happy to be changing up the food...No joke EVERYTHING looked delicious even the salad.

you got the cup? that means you lost no? shameful... na just kidding mate, strong effort :)

In America, that is called Country Gravy, but you are right, it is a peppery béchamel sauce.. We use it for breakfast mostly, and sometimes will make it with bacon or sausage. That one looked great though!

Still waiting for the Mrs Beard and Sister Beard vs Beard challenge too

[@Beardmeatsfood]

I don't think so bud, they're kind of soul destroying...I don't think anyone wants to simply watch me eat...what makes these videos entertaining for me is the story of it all you know...that's why i've pretty much done restaurant stuff this year and I think I'll keep at that for a while

To tell the truth this is the only food challenge that looks so amazing that I would not be ashamed to just order it and win a loser cup and have enough food for 2 days :D

I live in the area and people do it all the time. That is by far the best chicken fried steak I have ever had.

My thoughts exactly.

[@FindMeOnABeach]

I live here. I've eaten at Kendall's. It really is that good, y'all.

[@stephenlander1085]

Yeah 45 bucks for that feast seems like a good deal. I'd figure the steaks alone would be close to 15 a pop.

[@alfredodeeric]

You are truly a treat to watch! I just started watching your videos a couple weeks ago. Now my boys and I have been trying to catch up on them all! You live life with such a positive personality. It's very refreshing, keep on eating! Cheers!

[@Magziesfuntime]

Just an FYI for non Americans out there. Chicken fried steak is made from cube steak or tenderized beef. They would have to overcook it like really long to make it hard.

[@robertrobinson7414]

I’ve never seen you so effusive with your praise. Usually the British understated “it’s not bad” food looked awesome, as are all your videos!

[@tobycrow6957]

As an okie myself it brings me joy seeing people from the UK try country gravy. All the vids I’ve seen they’ve never seen white gravy like that and they always love it wether it’s on biscuits or chicken fried steak which are my two favorite foods lol. If someone from here were to move to the Uk and open an American themed restaurant with these kinds of items I think they would make a killing!!💯

[@mikelee7876]

That dessert menu line is the best. You always get people with that one

[@jonathanscoggins5868]

You always pound out the steak before battering and frying, that is why its tender and easy to eat! :)

[@zolo49noname45]

It's also usually cubed steak, isn't it? (For those that don't know, cubed steak means the steak has been perforated by a bunch of little holes to break up the meat fibers somewhat and make it more tender.)

[@obiwanshanobi2662]

@@zolo49noname45 you are correct, another example of a cheap cut being turned into something beautiful and delicious 😋

[@wombat5252]

@@zolo49noname45 Yup. It's not the cut of steak that you would grill up and enjoy medium rare/medium though but for this type of recipe it's amazing for.

[@tamichambers9497]

I wouldn’t do the challenge but I would order a regular meal of that. It made me hungry watching him.

[@TheNewRevolution]

What do you mean,"the stuff they call gravy?" In the south, a breakfast staple is biscuits and gravy. It's the same type of gravy. It's made with either flour or cornmeal. My grandmother fixed it almost every morning. We'd get that and some bacon or sausage to go with it. That's how you start the day off right. The brown gravy is nice with many meats, but for chicken fried steak, you gotta have the white cornmeal gravy.

[@fragalot]

Chicken fried steak is made from cubed steak, which is a tenderized cut of beef that’s usually made from round steak. It’s called “cubed” because it’s been mechanically tenderized by pounding or using a blade tenderizer to create small cuts on the surface. It's cut in such a way but not completely though. This gives it a lot of surface area for the batter to cling on to, and then it's fried like you would with fried chicken. The white sauce is usually a bechamel based white "country" gravy.

[@Foreverrelaxed]

I'm always so stoked when Beard loves the food!
