In this highly anticipated episode, Adam Richman dives headfirst into Knoxville’s vibrant food scene, starting at Ye Olde Steakhouse. Known for serving up some of the most generous and mouthwatering barbecue in the region, this carnivore’s paradise doesn’t shy away from massive portions. Adam takes on their legendary 60-ounce New York strip steak challenge. Imagine a flame-broiled behemoth of beef, charred to absolute perfection – can Adam conquer this meat mountain?
Next up, Adam heads to Dixson’s Bar-B-Que, a Knoxville institution celebrated for its unique and utterly delicious sandwiches. Here, he faces the challenge of the signature pig burger. This isn’t your average burger; it’s piled high with juicy pork patties crafted from flavorful rib trimmings, complemented by steamed onions and Dixson’s famous sweet and hot barbecue sauce. It’s a Knoxville exclusive that promises a flavor explosion in every bite.
Finally, Adam’s quest for culinary glory leads him to Sweet P’s Barbecue and Soul House, where he braces himself for the ultimate test: the Gigante Burrito Challenge. This isn’t just any burrito; it’s a Tex-Mex inspired barbecue masterpiece. Stuffed to bursting with cheese, tangy barbecue sauce, creamy coleslaw, white and pinto beans, and succulent chopped pork, all wrapped in four tortillas – it’s so massive it takes two hands just to roll! But the challenge doesn’t end there. To claim victory, Adam must also devour a half-pound of rich mac and cheese and a half-pound of comforting banana pudding. Weighing in at over five pounds in total, this colossal meal has never been conquered. Will Adam be the first to defeat the Gigante Burrito Challenge?
