List of Philadelphia area eating challenges in the eatfeats database

It would be interesting to learn why a made for TV sandwich at Tony Luke’s was used as the episode’s challenge when Jim’s Steaks has maintained a cheesesteak record for over 30 years. Perhaps the current record of 13 cheesesteaks in an hour by “Humble” Bob Shoudt was too daunting. (The program guide says that Jim’s Steaks will appear in the episode.)

13 cheesesteaks might not be the overall Philadelphia record. In a 1978 article, Lynda Kuerth, Jim’s steaks record holder from 1977 to 2001 (11 sandwiches) said she ate 15 steak sandwiches during a visit to Philadelphia. (The location and duration of that feat was not mentioned.)

Richie Ferrara’s twitter reports that Man vs. Food will be filming in Brooklyn today at his uncle’s restaurant. The restaurant was not named, the Buffalo Cantina is reportedly one of the Brooklyn sites.

update Beautiful Brian comments that the Buffalo Cantina is the site and recording will start at 5. The Buffalo Cantina was the site of a Man vs. Food hot wing video, so the challenge tonight will probably be hot wings.

update #2 John Reinhardt reports that Man vs. Food is at Brennan & Carr today.
