Only Fools Feed Their Faces

When barbecue restaurant Hill Country announced a gluttonous, perhaps foolhardy food challenge recently, maybe they were trying to lure Man vs. Food's Adam Richman to their Flatiron territory. While I sometimes like to imagine that I could easily take on some of those hefty feasts — if it involves pizza, I think I could go pretty far — Hill Country's challenge is not one to fool around with. Yet, two people have already completed it (although not gracefully) and Grub Street joined the game and documented the experience. It doesn't sound appetizing and I'm pretty sure something like this must kill barbecue for the participants forever after.
