Eating TWO Smoak BBQ “Bucket” Burger Challenges in Rochester, Minnesota!!

American professional eater Randy Santel versus Smoak BBQ's 5lb "Bucket" Burger Challenge hosted by Smoak BBQ in Rochester, Minnesota!! After attempting Big Boar's "Ultimate Platter" BBQ Challenge in West Salem, Wisconsin, I headed into Minnesota to begin a food challenge tour all around the state of Minnesota. I attempted 9 competitive eating Minnesota restaurant challenges during my trip. For challenge event #1 of nine, I headed to Smoak BBQ in Rochester, MN so I could attempt their 5lb "Bucket" Burger Challenge which has been attempted hundreds of times over the past few years it has been available. About 20 people have won the pay-to-play food challenge which costs $50 whether you win or lose. Only my friend @JoelHansen has completed TWO of the "Bucket" Burger Challenges consecutively back-to-back, each within the 30 minute time limit. In an attempt to make this video more exciting, I ordered two burger challenges as well, just to see if I could finish both like Joel did, but of course not as quickly. For the base challenge, there are two grilled cheese sandwiches, four hamburger patties, Pepper Jack and American cheeses, bacon strips, BBQ pulled pork, jalapeno cheddar sausages, SMOAK'd pastrami, fried cheese curds, and a fried Nashville hot chicken breast, all topped with two bacon-wrapped "Texas Twinkies" filled with smoked beef brisket and cream cheese. The "Bucket" Burger Challenge is served in a bucket with more than 1lb of Smoak BBQ's fries, and includes a bottle of Pepsi or Diet Pepsi. The meal costs $50 win or lose, but winners get a sweet t-shirt, a bottle of barbecue sauce, and a picture up on the Wall of Fame. No substitutions or modifications are allowed. My plan was to finish one challenge, reset the timer, and then start on the second burger. BIG thanks to everyone with Smoak BBQ in Rochester, Minnesota for the wonderful food, drinks, and hospitality!! Special thanks also to all our amazing friends who came up that Saturday afternoon to watch and meet me!! We appreciate everyone in Rochester and all around Minnesota who watches videos and supports our hard efforts!! There are lots more Minnesota eating challenge videos upcoming and I hope you all enjoy watching them!!

Unless, invite your partners join you to eat “Twin Buckets 🪣 Burgers 🍔” for challenge…… I’ll be there in Rochester, Minnesota in the future. (Sorry, no comment sir) 😮 CONGRATULATIONS ‼️ See ya next food challenge! By the way, Teddy Bear 🧸 can’t eat like this because his/her stomach is very tiny 😮😊

Very nice gesture towards Joel Hansen. Randy, always a class act!

[@marmite999]

He just knows he’s totally outclassed …. IMHO he makes his £ from the website- that was smart. But as a comp eater ? Not in the race.

[@TheRocco96]

@@marmite999 Randy is a restaurant promotor in the first place. Joel uses restaurants for his own content. Joel is also a drama queen, most of his videos are him complaining he's being cheated in a challenge, or he is going to get kicked out of an all you can eat place. Joel makes restaurants look bad, he's the opposite of Randy.

[@RandySantel]

Keep in mind@@marmite999 that most competitive eaters have to have "real jobs." That sounds terrible.

[@omarious]

@@marmite999 full time jobs, and extensive workouts, plus travel, and a lot of time to edit and upload the videos they make. All of this for the sake of our entertainment, and you don’t appreciate that… man!!!
