A Competitive Eater’s Guide to Vegas Food Challenges

You’ve seen the videos: The best competitive eaters out there can scarf down dozens of hot dogs, donuts or tacos in mere minutes. So do you think you have what it takes? Today, co-host Dayvid Figler chats with internationally-ranked competitive eater Derek Hendrickson about the best restaurant food challenges around the Vegas Valley, from easy (a two-pound burrito) to medium (four double cheeseburgers, fries and a milkshake) to the wildly difficult (130 kinds of cereal with a gallon of milk). Derek shares his insider tips for tackling a food challenge, and what the life of a competitive eater is really like (spoiler alert: he works out — a LOT).
