"MAKE IT BIGGER...HE'S A PRO" The BIGGEST CALZONE CHALLENGE I HAVE EVER SEEN ! Joel Hansen

DAMN THIS IS A BIG FOOD CHALLENGE! Today we are taking on a Vermont style Calzone Challenge! This is the Calmungo challenge in Wilmington Vermont in the Burlington VT area, taking on the biggest calzone challenge (like a pizza challenge) I have ever seen. This new haven pizza joint Ramunto's has been offered for many years and failed hundreds of times! The meal cost $35 and has a 45 minute time limit in order to get the meal for free and a free tshirt plus the wall of fame! Fail, and you join the wall of fame and pay for the giant Italian food challenge! Can we beat this giant food challenge? Or will we fall short and fail this challenge like the many others?
Tune in to find out!
Also, all is good, thanks to the restaurant and I wish them well and the best in all their endeavors!

[@JoelHansen]

A memorable challenge for sure... What do you think of this Calzone?!

[@Karma_1201]

“Memorable”? Good or bad? 😂👀 but love your videos! Keep up the positivity! Can’t wait for more videos!😊

[@BeastModeDaily]

Hey, your intro map and "Wilmington" VT is incorrect. It's Williston, VT, in Chittenden County. I am unsure what your map is a snippet of but it isn't Williston :D

[@ace6426]

That's what the owner gets, tried to set you up for failure but ultimately it ended up costing him more! 👍💪

[@thegreeninvasion5511]

⁠@@BeastModeDaily Chittenden county is a suburb of Boston!

[@Hipotomdadut]

I also ate my favorite Osetian pies with beets and cheese

[@cosmicbluevox1001]

I think it’s more of a flex when the owner tried to cheat you but you still kill it anyway. Joel is a legend.

[@nuckingfuts3017]

That part!!

[@OBrienDesigns]

The owner really tried to set you up for failure on this one and seeing you destroy that was awesome. Never underestimate Joel Hansen!

[@ryanjofre]

I ❤ it when he destroys arrogant and smug owners and especially outright liars and deceivers(not calling this owner a liar or scammer for the record). Go Joel Go!!🙏

[@nosearches8340]

you actually thinkso tho? was it a money offer? looked like a t-shirt prize and what $35 challenege if lost?

[@josephdover198]

@@nosearches8340 They definitely made it bigger. Randy did this in under 13 minutes and Joel is drastically faster than him.

Joel is a beast! I know they know who he is lol when you give Joel a food challenge they know to really challenge him they had to step their game up!

[@barbiefunkyfaceb]

Why complain about the cheese ok, stop eating food with cheese. MATTERS PEACE&LOVE

When he delivered the shirt, his face was priceless. He played it off with a fake smile after trying to cheat. Joel hit him in the calzones.😂😂😂

Joel is being so gracious. I’ve seen other people do this challenge, and they definitely made Joel’s way bigger.

[@jenmiller9673]

Joel is such a gentleman. Doesn’t really complain and still kills the challenge. He could’ve taken a 15 minute nap and still succeeded lol.. I’ve never seen that much cheese on a calzone. That was definitely intentional. Great job Joel!

[@JoelHansen]

😋

[@tiffanybadillo9336]

agree that's a lot of cheese

[@TheRealMasonYoung]

I have a local spot I've always loved that has a Stromboli that's probably a little bigger than this, I'd say 9-10lbs on average and they put so much cheese in it it's insane. Most of the Stromboli has a solid 1-1 and 1/2 inch layer of cheese across. It's delicious and also something that I am full off of the first piece I cut off of it and there are leftovers for a week lol

[@jamesrichardson63]

That’s because you’ve never seen that big of a calozone.

[@divest2099]

He has the metabolism of a mouse. The insane amount of food he eats and still keeps in shape.@@jamesrichardson63

I’ve been there several times during the challenges, and that was the biggest one I’ve seen. Completely unfair. Glad you were able to still kill it. 😮😅😅😅

[@JoelHansen]

[@LAJ76]

Most definitely tried to cheat

[@fireside007]

Always Sauce

[@ragnarok6521]

Probably was bigger, but the perspective is somewhat hard to judge. Food on a stand up in the camera vs a shot far away, but then again, I've seen Joel eat that 15kg+ sushi challenge, absolute madman, probably the one doing the biggest challenges out there.

[@michaelb.42112]

It's bad business and I hope everyone gets the word DON'T eat there because the owner is an asshole.

[@lisasallery7860]

I just love the way he’s so humble and polite. Definitely my favourite food challenge person on KZbin!!!🎉🎉🎉

[@donnahill6979]

What a class act you are! But those of us who watch your videos notice the absence of “compliments to the chef” and any compliments to the food. That thing was huge! You killed it!

[@superfans2324]

10:42 he did say so

[@jannahbanana4143]

I love how he tries to reassure that he didn’t make it bigger but the photo evidence plastered on the walls prove (in Maury voice) “that was a lie” 😂 great job Joel!

[@anonamatron]

It very well may be bigger but do notice Joel is using a tricky camera angle. The plate is propped up on something so the food is extra big on screen. Still very much does look huge though but you can't compare a flat plate to a propped up one angled at the camera.

[@Booyakasha5]

No "complements to the chef" was like a silence statement 😬

[@JoelHansen]

😋

[@lucvagin]

10:41

[@bailey0946]

Yes I agree

[@mikekatura6657]

Too much cheese was the issue

[@Simonize41]

Yes he did. Roughly 10:41

[@turkj755]

Looked way undercooked and that’s definitely a helluva lot bigger than previous challenges. Awesome job though Joel 💪🏼🙌🏼

[@krystaln7455]

Yeah looks doughy

[@FatRhaenyraTargaryen]

Totally RAW veggies! Ugh! But, it is good for him to eat all those in that state. Green peppers are good for organs… lol so I guess win😜

[@CDNMusicLover]

Agree not cooked

[@steveorino3073]

They just baked a piece of dough around a bunch of raw foods basically yumm

[@dranalytical]

Looked burnt to me!

[@INoahGuy914]

That calzone looked good on the outside but once you opened it up, everything didn’t even look cooked lol I can’t even imagine doing a contest like this and not enjoying the food really lol

[@SingerBabyJay]

It was definitely wrong of them to double or triple the size of the original. I cant stand it when places cheat people like that. You did a great job though. Congrats on another win! That is a beautiful park too 😊

[@newportninja245]

Yup I would never support this business because they are plain dishonest people 🤮

[@tylermartin2393]

It’s the normal size of the large calzone from there and it’s in Williston Vermont it’s like the only famous challenge we have in vt lol

[@CHARGERDON55]

You KILLED it!! They tried to screw you by making it obviously bigger! Joel rocks!

[@kristamcnair1430]

😂💯 Right! #thunderstruck

[@jlistetson]

That one was definitely bigger than the one they gave Randy. Well played! Dominated that challenge!

[@sharonnicolson3843]

You smashed it 👏 Should they not weigh the ingredients to make it fair for everyone?😊😊😊😊😊

[@CinnamonSugar202]

Exactly

[@michellemossett4445]

I would never go there..the owner made it with extra big and extra cheese...so upset that he did that...my boy you handled that very good..I'm sorry that happened...on the other part..I can't thank you enough for sharing your experience there ..your amazing..

[@Protometal66]

I feel the same. The one good thing I got out of the owner adding too much food is he lost that much more inventory for free lol

[@richardbeckett5580]

That looks double the size of Randy's!

[@LADYBOY1988]

Randy is a terrible eater, he only picks small items!

[@user-tr6hf4bo3b]

More like 3 times the size of Randy's..... they always tryna disrespect Joel 🤦🏾

[@richardbeckett5580]

@amberteard1068 he's done a few bigger challenges in the past like a 10lb top sirloin challenge. He just prefers the smaller 5-7lb challenges. He's not terrible at all.

[@JoelHansen]

😋

[@WhiteOwlBlunt]

That’s what she said!

[@user-oz3ng4kd9k]

I noticed the record was 8:00 and Randy did it in 12:52. Both of which I'm sure you would have shattered if your calzone was the same size as theirs. Great job either way Joel !

[@powerfreak7676]

Seeing the difference between yours and Randy’s is just insane. And you still killed it. Good job dude.

[@bruisermoore]

I love when Joel is so into it and talking about the food when he’s done that he uses napkins to clean his hands off……even though he’s wearing gloves 😂

Always will come and watch your content! Such a good energy. Can't lie, at first I thought it was fake, but after watching how people try to disrespect you at competitions, even if you curse them out behind the camera, you seem like a good dude and an even better sport/gentleman/etc. Also just went back to see how you stay in shape after eating so much!!! Much respect pushing through your endless amount of injuries. Much blessings to you and your loved ones. Equal amount of respect to you for being who you are!!!

[@dusty1719]

I prefer the ingredients to be softer and more cooked, and I love to have ricotta in my calzones. I tend to cut it in strips , they didn’t give you a knife? You did very well on this one!

[@josephkreglow7189]

Yeah, they definitely made the calzone for you way bigger than they did for Randy, and it looks like they added 3x the cheese.. But you're always a good sport, and I know you would smash that challenge regardless. That's why you're the best, Joel.

[@rorygallagher6071]

Joel always a gentleman and a pro. I’m still not over the whole quesadilla challenge where it was supposed to be $1000 prize and they changed it to 500,but made quesadilla bigger, just two weeks before he arrived . That was so wrong. And that entire video he remained professional , but nothing Was said about the taste of the food, and there were no comments like “compliments to the chef”. It was pure business nothing more nothing less. But it was done with class, one of the many reasons I love to watch Joel’s videos. So glad to have discovered these a few weeks ago. I originally saw one video of Joel at a state fair where he was trying all the different foods. And then a few weeks ago, I saw one of the challenges and I’m like wait this guy looks so familiar.. my husband and I have been watching him ever since.
