Red Man Challenge

Five Meats. Five Cheeses. Five Veggies. One Massive Mistake You’ll Love Making.

Think you’re tough? Think you’re hungry? Think you can finish a plate bigger than your dreams and heavier than your ex’s baggage?
Welcome to the Red Man Challenge — Franks Diner’s legendary gut-busting, belt-breaking food feat. It’s not for the faint of heart. It’s for those willing to stare down a mountain of breakfast and say, “Bring it on.”

What’s on the Plate?

A Garbage Plate on Steroids

Here’s what you’re up against:

• One Fully Loaded Garbage Plate:

– Five eggs
– Five meats
– Five cheeses
– Five veggies
– Hash browns, green peppers, onions mixed in
• Two thick slices of homemade grilled toast
• Three gigantic pancakes (seriously, they’re bigger than your head)

All piled onto a single plate (and some extra space for good measure).
