Oh, that's crazy.
That is crazy.
This is your truck driver challenge.
Rekkamies Ruokahaaste by Saohu.
Alright, rekkamies.
What is up Kilo Crew and welcome to today's video.
Today I am super jazzed to be at Saohu Bistro and Bar in Järvenpää of Finland
where I'm about to take on their brand new Rekkamies 2.0 challenge.
Now Rekkamies I guess means truck driver.
And this challenge is the 2.0 because there's been one change made to this
and I'll go over that in just a minute.
But in front of me I have a ton of food as you can see.
This is absolutely wild.
But I have a giant burger called the Slim Jib which is a little twist on words there.
I have two racks of ribs weighing in at 500 grams.
I have two different types of their fries.
One of them is a pesto seasoned fry and the other is a curry fry.
I have 15 of their big old chicken wings here.
Those are some jumbo chicken wings.
And then I have I believe it is three or four of their chorizo.
Four.
Four chorizo dogs which are like smothered in sauce.
I think there's some bacon on there as well and cheese.
I have a side of their coleslaw.
And then I have their This is Caramel dessert.
And then along with that I also have to finish this one liter or half liter of soda pop here.
But I have 45 minutes to finish all of this.
Either way it's going to cost me 75 euros to give this a try.
But if I'm successful I will be getting a groovy gift certificate to basically come back here and enjoy a free meal.
Obviously I am going to be leaving Finland pretty soon so I'll be giving that gift card away to someone here in the crowd.
But anyways as usual there ain't nothing to it but to do it.
Let's be a guinea pig for this thing and get this challenge started.
I also forgot to mention.
Thank you guys.
I forgot to mention that the one difference between the 1.0 and 2.0 Räkkimies challenge is that these wings used to be a sort of stew called a...
Marske.
Which is like a stew that I guess takes 24 hours to make.
So it makes sense why they took that off the menu.
But are you ready my man?
Yeah.
Alright.
Let's do this in 1, 2, 3.
Food eating time.
Here we go.
Let's start with a...
Let's do a wing.
Good luck.
Have fun.
Thank you.
Oh that's a good wing.
Wow.
Right off the bone.
Mmm.
Okay.
Oh my god.
Okay.
It is always such a joyous occasion when the meat of a wing just peels right off the bone.
So satisfying.
Definitely recommend.
Yeah.
The flavor on these was amazing.
Not only did the meat peel right off the bone but it was nice tender juicy meat.
Really easy to eat.
Try some of these pesto fries.
Mmm.
Wow.
That's amazing.
Alright.
Let's try the dip.
That is good.
That is really good.
I believe I also have to finish these dips so I might start dipping the wings in the
dip as well.
There is a reason this is called the truck driver challenge.
Apparently you need to have the appetite of a very very large human that does long haul
drives to finish this thing.
It's like half sweet potato and half regular fries.
Okay.
Let's try some of these ribs.
I think I just pulled off a bone here.
Mmm.
Actually can I get a plate for bones please?
Thank you.
Rookie move not having a bone bowl there ahead of time but thankfully everyone was super
helpful at the restaurant so I was able to snag a bone bowl because obviously with ribs
and wings I was going to have a lot of scraps.
Sahu means smoke and these smoked ribs are fantastic.
Thank you very much.
This was one of those challenges where if the food wasn't good I would have been in
some serious trouble so I was super thankful that everything on this platter was absolutely
exquisite.
This was some amazing food.
Alright.
That is it for the ribs.
I'm just moving some of these bones over.
Okay.
Let's get into some of these curry fries.
Oh wow.
That is amazing.
I had never had any fries like these before.
Not only was it cool that they were curry flavored, I've had curry dipping sauce but
not curry flavored fries, but they were also a mixture of sweet potato and regular fries
which made for a really fun like flavor combo.
I loved it.
Back to some wings for a bit.
Look at me breaking norms and mixing and matching which foods I decide to eat off of a platter.
I know some of y'all like to complain that I eat one food at a time so here you guys
go.
Eat your heart out.
Alright.
That is it for the wing bowl.
There's still a couple wings left though.
Wings stopped.
Almost.
Even with the wings being super easy to eat, they were pretty time consuming and I can
see why the restaurant decided to exchange a stew for some wings.
It makes it a little bit more tricky.
I think I just ate the last wing which is exciting so let's kill some more fries and
move on to the chorizo.
I wanted to get through as many of these fries as possible before I dove into some of that
chorizo bread.
I wasn't sure if it was going to be super spicy which can sometimes upset my stomach
and slow my eating.
Time for a courtesy face wipe.
My face has got to be a mess by now.
Little sip of the sody.
Alright, excuse me.
Time to try this bread chorizo thingy which looks fantastic.
Whoa.
I've never had anything like that.
That's nice.
Huh.
That's actually really good.
Yeah, not too spicy at all and these things actually ended up being one of my favorite
things on the entire platter.
So good.
There's cheese, pickles, chorizo, tons of sauce and it's amazing.
Again, I had never had anything quite like this and I was absolutely loving it although
it was also a little bit time consuming just because there was a good amount of chew to
all of that bread.
Okay.
Oh goodness.
Mmm, thank you.
The chorizos are gone which they were fantastic.
Thank you so much.
They're helping me keep my face clean around here.
Just got a few fries, this burger, some coleslaw and a dessert left.
I am confident.
And on that confident note, it's pretty straightforward from here so I'm going to let you guys enjoy
the rest of the video.
Thank you all so much for watching and I'll of course catch you in the next one.
The pesto was great but I'm going to have to give it to the curry fries.
Those were amazing.
Alright.
On to this little fella.
The Slim Jim.
This is a multi-layer thing but I'm going to have to deconstruct it I think.
This thing is very heavy.
I'm scared.
I'm actually upset I saved this to the end.
That thing is big.
But here we go.
Oh.
Whoa.
Even the burgers are smoky.
Wow.
Almost there.
Mhmm.
Ugh, final bite of the burger and then it's just coleslaw and dessert and a sodie.
Whew.
So this is just like plain cabbage?
Oh, it's pickle-y.
Okay.
Do I need to finish this sauce?
There's a little bit.
Yeah, if you dare, that's good.
Oh, I'll finish it.
Don't let you worry.
Okay.
Thank you.
Take it away so we can see that everything's gone.
Absolutely.
Alright, we're going to have now, I think this is garlic sauce coleslaw now.
I see nothing wrong with this.
It's so sour.
This must be finished coleslaw.
Whew.
That was interesting.
Coleslaw is gone.
I'm not taking advantage of it.
Thank you.
You have seven minutes to go to third place.
Okay.
Well, what I have done has never been done before.
Yeah, exactly.
Alright, let's do some sodie pop here.
Whew.
Soda, done.
Time for some dessert, which is a caramel brownie with ice cream and popcorn.
I'm practicing.
Yes!
How do you do that on command?
That is amazing.
Okay, now it is dessert time, my favorite part.
You guys know.
Peepies.
Ooh.
Wow.
It's almost like a dense caramel brownie.
Okay.
Ice cream is a little bit melted.
But with the salty popcorn and like the little chocolate bits on here, that is amazing.
That is nice.
The popcorn on top is a super cute touch because you can like freely grab popcorn from a little popcorn machine here.
It really ties the whole theme here together.
Man, this is so fantastic.
Alright, final bite of the actual brownie and then we just have a little bit of ice cream to drink down.
Some M&M's.
Yeah, and that's it.
It's done.
That's it.
Woo!
Thank you.
The official time is 33.34.
I got 33.35 on here either way.
Oh, that was absolutely fantastic.
Loved everything on that platter.
Okay, I can't say I loved the coleslaw, but I loved everything else on that platter.
It was so good.
I loved the wings.
Those were amazing wings.
Each one peeled right off the bone.
The ribs were the same as well.
Sorry, I keep sniffling.
Ooh, excuse me.
And actually, you were the first lady to finish.
Woo!
I love it.
To make those ladies proud out there.
But yeah, everything on that platter was fantastic.
That chorizo bread was a surprising hit for me.
I'm not a huge chorizo fan and that was amazing.
Yeah, luckily, for winning, I will be getting my spot up on the Wall of Fame as the first lady up on the wall
and also the first winner of the 2.0 version of this challenge.
Again, I was the first one to do wings instead of a stew, which is interesting.
But I'll also be getting a groovy gift certificate for a free meal back here at Saohu,
which I'll be giving away to someone here shortly.
But a big thank you to Saohu Bistro and Bar.
That, again, was fantastic.
One more challenge coming up here in Finland, so I suppose I will catch you then.
Until then, ok, peace out, bye!
Yummy!
