Can Big Ken’s Supersized Detroit Style BBQ Menu Challenge Be Eaten Within 30 Minutes??

American pro eater Randy Santel and ‪@MagicMitch‬, each versus Big Ken's Supersized Detroit Style BBQ Full Menu Platter Challenge within 30 minutes at Big Ken's Bar-B-Q in Eastpointe, Michigan, which is part of the greater Detroit, MI metro area!! After attempting the Giant Deli Grinder Sandwich Challenge at Tony's of Shields in Saginaw, Michigan, ‪@SteelRodRadim‬, "Magic" Mitch Dombrowski, and I all headed down to Big Ken's Bar-B-Q in Eastpointe, Michigan which is part of the greater Detroit, MI metro area. There, "Magic" Mitch and I each attempted Big Ken's enlarged Detroit Style BBQ Full Menu Platter Challenge and had just 30 minutes to finish everything. There was a half (1/2) rack of Big Ken's BBQ pork ribs, lots of barbecue pork rib tips, a beef sausage hot link, six (6) smoked chicken wings (3 original and 3 hot wings), and a big order of pulled pork nachos topped with juicy pulled pork, nacho queso sauce, baked beans, and more. The full menu platter challenge also included sides of homemade baked beans, corn, Mexican corn, a half (1/2) chicken, lots of fries, and three burgers / sandwiches. There was a beef cheeseburger, a pulled BBQ chicken sandwich with coleslaw, and a pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw. For dessert, we each had to finish an order of Big Ken's homemade peach cobbler, and along the way, we were required to finish a large cup of Big Ken's flavored full-sugar lemonade. We were each trying to win our $100 bbq platter meals free plus sweet t-shirts and spots on Big Ken's Wall of Fame. BIG thanks to Big Ken and Jason the owners, plus everyone else with Big Ken's Bar-B-Q in Eastpointe, Michigan for the wonderful food, drinks, dessert, and hospitality!! Special thanks also to all our amazing friends who came up that Friday evening to watch and meet us!! We appreciate everyone in the Detroit area and all around Michigan who watches videos and supports our hard efforts!! There are just a few more man vs food restaurant eating challenge videos with "Steel Rod" Radim Dvořáček and "Magic" Mitch Dombrowski upcoming!!

Hey everyone, thanks for watching this video!! BIG thanks especially to Magic Mitch for trying the challenge with me!! Radim decided to try a different Detroit-area challenge afterwards, since he knew this one was nearly impossible. The time limit has been changed to 45 minutes moving forward, and I plan to return in 2025 for a rematch. For anyone interested who has not yet watched our previous video featuring Radim and me attempting Tony's of Shields' Giant Deli Grinder Sandwich Challenge up in Saginaw, Michigan, here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6Kkmn1unph-j5I

That’s cool of the restaurant to realize 30 minutes is a little too short of time. Big ups to them for making the change

[@Roach_USMC]

Time is to short for the amount of food should be 1/2 to 1 h for this

If they expanded the challenge, then they should've expanded the time as well. Great effort guys❤

[@Handley941]

Well that doesn’t make sense. They expanded the challenge to making it more challenging. Increasing the time would make it less challenging seeing as they didn’t expand it that much. Only the elite food eaters can finish this challenge. Separates the pros from the wannabes

[@francescalichfieldcity6971]

That's insane to give this challenge only 30mins. X

I normally wouldn’t complain when a restaurant that serves up delicious barbecue gets a little carried away with their portions, but that was not a 30 minute time limit challenge 😅. Amazed you both got as far through it as you did! Great job!! I guess Nathan Klein managed to get his revenge on you for beating so many of his records, albeit retroactively 😅.

[@RandySantel]

Haha yeah, he finished in half the time, so I figured we were okay to add in a little extra haha 😂

[@amandadeekennedy2333]

Randy, my husband and I have been watching you and Katina for a long time and during this tour that you are doing and featuring other eaters is awesome BUT it has made me and my husband realize something. We took the way you eat for granted. You are NOT a messy eater and that makes it very pleasant for us. Those others are messy and we find ourselves getting.....I guess angry with how they eat and compare it to you lol it's all in good fun and we love watching you and appreciate your way of clean eating lol

[@carlalattanzi6873]

I agree 100% and have left comments for Randy that I love the way he eats without messiness. Other eaters use their fingers and mix the food up into slop and shove it in their mouth and Randy still beats their time using utensils.
