IMPOSSIBLE 13LB CHEESESTEAK CHALLENGE | With Spicy Chicken & Gyro's | NYC Street Food

I THINK IT IS IMPOSSIBLE... TRULY THIS IS TOO BIG. Today we take on one of the BIGGEST food challenges I have ever attempted. Weighing in around 12-13 lbs (5KG) this cheesesteak, gyro, fried chicken sandwich and loaded fry challenge was an unbeaten food challenge for a reason! We are at NYC Halal Eats in Troy Michigan having some famous New York City style Halal food! This challenge featured 4 LARGE Philly Cheesesteaks, a giant fried chicken sandwich (sub?), two famous NYC style gyro's, and a cheesy fries with spicy chicken, and white sauce! We had 60 minutes to complete this impossible food challenge in order to get the $80 meal for free. Can we beat this crazy food challenge? Or will this cheesy new york city street food put a stop to us? NYC Halal Eats really prides themselves in their New Jersey sourced breads, which offered a lot of texture and crispy finish!

If Joel says it’s daunting the avg man shouldn’t even try. It’s incredible what this man does and this video really puts it into perspective on how much it takes to put down food like this. God bless you for the endless content my household loves it and we look forward to every upload.

I bet this dude could legit pull your arms out of socket and beat you to death with them, with ease. And because he can he's the nicest dude, and he wouldn't generally. Eating protein like that builds pure hard muscle and all those animal fats turn into test. I bet this dude is nice as hell.

What are the effects of this on your cholesterol and digestive system?

[@nicthemickatx]

Pick up enough heavy shit every day and eating stupid amounts of food(buckets), stops seeking so crazy. Per my doctor for the last decade I need 4k-6k calories a day to maintain my weight in the summer time here. I almost died because I wasn't eating enough for the amount of physical activity I do. If I eat between 4k & 5k a day I'll lose about a pound a week. Guys that eat professionally can pump iron for fun and become test factories. I salute them.

[@Malachor01]

I love Joel and his vids but Molly is on another level my friend. She has about 30-40% more capacity (can eat 23lbs of meat alone.... so probably more if the food types are mixed) and at least double the speed.

[@LetArtsLive]

So him and Molly should have a eat off and boy would they get a lot of views. Is she the one that was in Texas and ate that giant chunk of meat. I don't think somebody should keep doing this extreme eating for an extended time because time will run out

[@strangemarkings]

@@LetArtsLive Joel has eaten against Molly a few times, check out their pumpkin pie videos. Molly can eat simply enormous amounts of food, often into the 20 lb range

Don't rule Geoff Esper out. People sleep on him because he doesn't push himself in co-op videos that much but when he goes he can do 20lbs+ also.

[@froggneptune9240]

[@daveyjones7391]

The individual sandwiches seemed like normal Philly cheesesteak sized sandwiches, at least in my area. They may not have wanted anyone to complete it so they added six or seven items total though 😆 I’ve seen other videos where they say the challenge is 5 lbs, but they make it 8, or add way too much salt. Now those places are bad-faith. This spot seems good.

[@AaronMC]

man this is a large challenge. Living in my area, the bread is what makes these sandwiches and it looks like the rolls are of pretty solid quality. You said they get it all the way from Jersey which is amazing!
