I've been a part of these but they are nearly never planned. Usually, if we are someplace and there is something interesting on the menu it is more a spur the moment thing.
Speaking of Food Challenges, if any of you watch Man vs Food, you'll be familiar with the Oklahoma episode where Adam visits the Catfish Barn at I-35 and Waterloo. It appears this month is the last month you'll ever get to experience their food, as the owners are closing up shop and moving to Italy.

I've never been there, but it looks like it might be time to try it. I normally don't eat catfish because no matter the breed, the body of water in which they were fished, or how they're prepped and cooked, it always tastes like dirty pond water. Perhaps this place has the magic touch.
Sucks the catfish place is closing, I hate to see smaller mom & pop style places close the doors. Especially if their food is great.
Fortunately for them, business is great. They're only closing because they're moving out of the country, not because of a lack of business.
Still, for those who love the place, it's sad to see.
I had to give up on the crazy food challenges a few years ago due to G.E.R.D the last one I did was a cup full of wasabi and I did it for 5 euros (army buddy from Germany) the worst one I did that I couldn't complete was a serving spoon full of bittersweet chocolate concentrate at my buddies doughnut shop one night and it was brutal and for those who don't know about the bittersweet I am talking about imagine cocoa powder mixed with lard it is so nasty.
