128 people have attempted the Ramen Challenge, and only 12 have completed it successfully. That's a pretty exclusive group of supersized eaters! The challenge? Eat an enormous bowl of Ramen Noodles, and finish the soup, all within 60 minutes. Complete the challenge, and you'll get the meal free and receive a $50 voucher. Fail, and you have to pay $50 for the privilege! And thanks goes to "dibbz" and "mianos" for sending this one in!

Dr Hook once sang of the thrill of having your picture on the cover of Rolling Stone. They had obviously never heard of the Ramen Challenge. The Ramen Challenge is simple: eat a heart-stoppingly large bowl of noodles and as well as a $50 voucher, you get your picture in the shop window. Now do the maths. Rolling Stone is already up to issue 651. That's at least 651 different cover pictures. The ramen Challenge window has only 12 pictures, definitely the more prestigious choice.

Remember that kid that did the 20x20 at In 'n' Out? Well this guy decided to go one better, eat an entire 21x21 from In 'n' Out by himself. Sweaty cheese.... so much sweaty cheese...

I can feel a bit of a competition coming on! (But I'd much prefer to see 15 White Castle Burgers stacked! Anyone want to take on the challenge? :))

Apparently this photo is a screen cap from a documentary made back in January 2004. I've had a dig around but haven't been able to find it anywhere (Google Videos or YouTube). If anyone finds it, let me know!

I tried to find more info about Boulevard Pizza, but didn't have much luck. (I don't think http://www.boulevardpizzeria.com is the place). Anyway, still looks like a damn tasty pizza!

My brother in-law entered this in a pumpkin carving contest. Needless to say he won first place.

One of our anonymous readers sent this one in. IFOCE member Andrew Lane attempted Beau Jo's Challenge, a 14 pound pizza, with a friend.

Beau Jo's takes it. We cannot put away the 14 pound behemoth that is the Beau Jo's Challenge. It was quite delicious and a very refreshing late lunch.
