The Mega Brunch Challenge: Can We Finish It?!

Thanks for coming to another video. Today we're at Vince's Pizza in Mukunji, PA for their Sunday brunch breakfast challenge. Now the brunch is only 11 to 2 on Sundays. It's the only time you can get this challenge. You don't have to call ahead. You can just come right in and do it and it is quite a challenge. The food looks great. There's tons of options, but that's not what I'm excited about. I'm most excited that I'm here with Jack Diamond. Now this is one of the few old eaters like I am on the circuit. I mean this guy is, to me, he's kind of like an advanced amateur in that he's done a lot of challenges, but he's like a regular guy. He's not a competitive eater who does the contest and whatnot. So thanks for joining me, Jack. Jack actually reached out, by the way, to do this today. Thanks for letting me go with you. Oh, my honor. I think it's the other way around. You're a much better eater than I am. Oh, please. So before we start, what looks good for you? What do you... Everything looks pretty good, but they really talked about their French toast the most and Josh liked it as well. Okay. All right. So French toast it is. Let's go. All right. One hour, gentlemen. You ready? Yep. Yep. All right. And go. All right. We're off now. I usually eat food very, very neatly, but my wife told me that there's something... you can use pancakes as a roll. So I'm going to make a big sandwich with all this stuff. Put the ham, the pork, and a couple of eggs, and I'm going to try to make a sandwich here. These are chocolate chip pancakes. This is the official Vince's brunch challenge. On it, we include three plate-sized chocolate chip pancakes, two of the best damn French toast you will ever have, and a birdie in the nest. In addition, there is five over-eating eggs, five pieces of sausage, five pieces of ham, five pieces of bacon, and a whole slew of breakfast potatoes. The ham and bacon are exceptional. They say the French toast is the best thing here, but if it's better than the ham, the French toast is going to be awesome. I'll let you know what I think of it. If you're not familiar with Jack, he's probably the most advanced you can get without doing it full-time, so I didn't call him a pro, but he's probably won at least 150, maybe even 200 different restaurant challenges. He's filmed with Randy Santel. He's filmed with me before. He's very good at this. He's just not a full-time person doing it, so much respect to him for as much as he's been able to accomplish doing this part-time. The manager was very nice and told me I had food in my beard. I appreciate that, and it probably won't be the last time I get food in my beard in this video. Part of the mess was the pancakes, and part of it was the non-fully cooked yolks, which was getting everywhere. That didn't take long, but it's even quicker than I expected. Now I'm wearing half an egg yolk on my goatee. I noticed Jack was also trying to use the pancake as a bun, making a ham sandwich over there. He smartly didn't put the eggs in the middle. That was a good move on his part, but we had talked beforehand about how McGriddles and McDonald's use a pancake as a bun, so I think this is legit. I'm just eating it messier than it needs to be. I'm gonna have to say the ham is number one, the bacon is number two, and the sausage is number three. All three of the breakfast meats tasted very good, but that ham was exceptional. It had some type of glaze on it, and the way it was prepared, top-notch. You must get it if you come here. I'm looking over at Jack real quick, and he's doing very well. Now he's just a regular guy that likes to do eating challenges, so I didn't expect him to keep up with me, but he's very close. I'm really not a big pancake fan, but the pancake tastes good, and I'll have to try it as a roll. Sweetens up the sandwich. I'm loaded for chocolate chips. How did Vince's go? How what? How did this challenge go? Sean just texted me. I see. I don't think I told him I was coming. No, I told him. Oh, okay. He thought maybe try and get over. Okay. I don't know where he was. I don't even remember Sean from the recent video. He was checking in to see how we're doing on the challenge. Competitive eaters often do that. We share information all the time. I got my second pancake sandwich ready to go. It's stuffed with five sausage links and two eggs. Let's go. I definitely like the other ham and bacon better than the sausage links. They're good. This was an interesting restaurant. It was a typical pizza place, but it also had a lot of other items that pizza places normally wouldn't have. Like this is breakfast slash brunch food, and it's absolutely delicious. I'm really enjoying it here. Unfortunately, since I filmed this video until now, they've gone out of business. So you're not going to be able to stop there yourself, but it was delicious food. The restaurant was tracking our progress throughout the entire challenge from the moment we were setting up the cameras all the way through to the end, and they were posting on Facebook and Instagram. So I appreciate that. Hopefully it gets a little bit more excitement for this restaurant and more people come out and try this challenge. This is the first time in my life I've ever tried to eat one of these birdies in a basket. My kids have had these, but I'm not really even sure how you're supposed to eat it. Um, to me, if you pick it up and fold it over like a sandwich, maybe, but then you would have to make the hole towards the side. I don't know what I'm doing. I'm just going to throw the one sausage that fell out of the pancake sandwich and try to eat it as a sandwich. I'm not used to this, um, eggs on the yolk. It's still, it's still runny. Oh no, it keeps surprising me. When I bite it, it goes off. I usually just do scrambled eggs. Hey, I guess no choice here. I never really understood the appeal of undercooked egg yolk, uh, running all over the place. I didn't get it until I had this meal here. I totally get it now. I'm going to try it more often because it does taste good. I thought I was doing okay. There's a lot of kids here. About nine minutes in, I see why Josh had a problem with the challenge. I mean, not the food is good, but he really slowed down with the potatoes. And I understand now when you see the amount of potatoes you get, there's a lot of potatoes. I'm going to work on some of these potatoes and say that this French toast, the award-winning French toast. I'll switch to an overhead angle so you can see just how many potatoes there are in this challenge. There are a lot of them. It probably will prove to be difficult for first-timers to eating challenges, just getting through this many potatoes. But just pace yourself. I think you'll be able to get through. I love eating pretty much any form of fried potatoes with a brunch. Absolutely delicious. And these were no different. These things tasted so good. Really enjoyed them. Now it doesn't hold up to like a scrapple, which is not on this challenge, but fried potatoes are a must in any brunch for me. Sorry about that, guys. I had so much yolk on my hands that I couldn't even hold the pork. And you have to stab these things. These aren't soft. These potatoes taste great, but they are very slow to eat. These are sliced really thin, almost like the potato chip thickness. The manager said that once people get past 40 minutes, they usually don't eat much more. You gotta get this down under 40. The manager told me that the first person that finished ate very gentlemanly, and that is perfect for my channel with my neat eating. So I'm going to use a fork for every one of these potatoes, which is the most painfully slow way to eat these in a meeting challenge. Anybody watching who at all wants to attempt this, just use your hands. Pick it up and just shove it in. It will go much quicker. I could probably save four or five minutes just on these potatoes alone. Well, these are really hard to get on a fork. It tastes good, though. I've never had it like this before. If I came here, I would definitely order these. Not as many, but I will do. As I finish up eating these potatoes, basically one at a time, I notice that Jack is doing a great job over there. I'm very impressed. I think he has a good shot at getting the record as well. 15 minutes in. All Bob has left is his French toast. It looks really good. I'm not done with the potatoes yet. I still have a tiny bit. I can just scoop up with my fingers and eat in a second, but it's going to take me 35 seconds to get that on a fork and then eat it. Almost done, but I need to restart this camera because it ends in 15 minutes. I was going to say, look at you. Jack, you're not doing bad either. Jack's doing great. I know. Considering he's only doing this for the final day. It is delicious, right? It is. It is delicious. Jack is doing really well over here. He's right on my heels. Now, I'm sorry, can you tell me one more time, this is the famous, what was this called again? The best damn French toast you'll ever have. That's literally the name, the best damn French toast you'll ever have. Yes. Let's see. I know some of you are thinking, wow, you could have eaten so much quicker and set an untouchable record and you just would have eaten fast, but I'm much too old for that. This is not an eating contest. It's an eating challenge. So I'm all about neat eating and enjoying the food that I eat while I'm still here on this earth. There's a lot of sugar on these, but for some reason, it's not too sweet for me. I'm not a big sweet fan, but I think the bread is a good combination with it. It's like not so sweet. No, there's a good balance of flavors in it. Oh, thank you. The first person that was able to win the challenge, ate it very gentlemanly. And I just got the nod of approval that I won as well. She probably didn't see the egg yolk that was all down my hand. We'll edit that out of the video. Josh, the goat did want to come back and try and best his time. No he didn't. Yes he did. Now you tell me. Well, I was going to say, besting his time is not going to count when you are doing this. I told him, I told him. Less than 20 minutes. I told him he would come, but he didn't come. Josh, Josh the goat man. I'll tell you what, Bob just obliterated. It's 1850. She challenged me to finish in less than 20 minutes, so I have to do that now. Here we go. Here we go. I want to be here to film the last minute. Oh, Bob. Here we go. Here we go. We did it. We did it. In under 20 minutes. I'm scraping the plate. I told you it was the best day on french toast. It was good. All right. Bob did it in under 20. Jack, I think you're going to succeed as well, sir. He's got it. He's got it. I'll be back for the final pictures of Jack. All right. I don't know what was the best french toast. It was up there. It was pretty darn good. He is pretty much an amateur eater. He has done a ton of challenges, but he's just like a regular guy out there trying to have some fun with these things. So for him to be right behind me on this, that's really impressive. To me, my thing is that potatoes are the heart of the world. They were just a lot. French is tough for me. Okay. These were thick pancakes. They weren't really necessarily that big size-wise this way, but they're definitely thick. A sandwich helped me out. I wouldn't want to eat that pancake by itself. They're just dry. Not dry, but like for speed eating or slow to eat just because they're just dense and dry out of your mouth. Jack is crushing this. I think Josh is going to get bumped down to number three. I'm shooting for under 25. All right. So we're a little over 22 minutes in. Josh's record was 32 something. That's not good enough over here for Jack. Jack's trying to get this down under 25. Oh my goodness. That is me. That's embarrassing. I clearly saw him tap on it and I was just zoned out. That means I need something to drink, which is especially important when you're doing bread here at the end. Liquid really helps you get it down. I am impressed. Not everybody has to be the fastest person out there. I certainly didn't try to do this today, but certain things impress me when I see somebody do really good for themselves. And that's what's going on right now. I mean, he's pushing away over here. Now remember, we're not young guys doing this. So this is super, super impressive. He did it. All right. All right. I cannot believe I've got one, but not one, but two winners. Two winners. Awesome. Great job, Jack. That is very impressive. He has to swallow. Ah, there we are. Under 25. You got it under 24. Good job. Spanked Vince's. Spanked Devin. Spanked Josh the goat. Oh guys, what a great Sunday. She called out Josh the goat. Very good. Thanks for having me. To be honest with you, for the name and the place we're eating at, I did not expect this because it's, it's, it's totally different. This is actually not just breakfast food. It's actually good breakfast food. There we go. There we go. I'm going to tell you right now a phrase that I detest, but rings so true. We are the hidden gem of McFudges. That's true. We are the hidden gem. That was a Vince's Pizza Sunday brunch challenge. Only available 11 to 2 on Sundays. I want to give a big thanks to Jack for coming out. First, he invited me and for coming out and doing this, you crushed the existing record. It wasn't, it was like from 33 to 24. That was a huge, huge difference. Yes. And I'm honored to be with you. It's the first time I've had a competition with just the two of us. So I appreciate it. Oh, thank you. Well, I want to give a big thanks to the service here. Great service. Food here is really good. I know it says pizza in the name, but this is actually a really good breakfast. Thanks for coming to another video. I'll see you guys again soon.
