This week’s episode of Man vs. Food has an appropriate location for the eating challenge: Kobe Sushi in Salt Lake City. The sushi is not free if completed; the award is a T-shirt or large ice cream. 😉

(via Man vs. Food facebook) A youtube channel has been started documenting Stephanie Torres eating challenges. Videos of her completion of a 7 pound “Extreme Grizzly” burrito in 18 minutes from Marianito’s in San Antonio and a spicy “Four Horsemen Burger” from Chunky’s Burgers (also in San Antonio) in 3 minutes are available.

This gives Stephanie Torres four successful eating challenges since December 2009. She also finished the 72 ounce steak from the Big Texan and the B3 Burrito from the NASCAR Cafe.
