Following up on the article reporting that Naader Reda did not receive the $1,260 prize at Pho 87, here is a list of restaurants that are reportedly reluctant to pay out listed eating challenge rewards. Please comment if you think other restaurants should be added.
- The Beast, Wheat State Pizza, Kansas – Randy Santel did not receive the $500 prize (He got them do donate $500 in food to charities)
- Diablo’s Burrito Challenge, Diablo’s Cantina, Las Vegas, NV (according to Juan Rodriguez, he was told that by manager that the burrito would be free if he finished it, which was not honored. The online menu says that only a T-shirt will be awarded.)
- OMG Burger, The Catch, Anaheim, CA – $500 prize not available to professionals (professionals appear to be defined as anyone who has previously competed in an eating contest)
- Phozilla Challenge, Pho 87, Las Vegas, NV – closed to professional eaters (not explicitly mentioned on website)
- Zeus burger, Clinton Station Diner, Clinton, NJ – both three person teams to win the $500 prize for finishing received a burger weighing more than the listed 12.5 pound weight: Team 1 | Team 2
