Harrison and Zach must defeat the Gravedigger Challenge in one hour, to this date no two-person team has defeated this challenge.
Adam’s first stop is Kroll’s West restaurant where they specialize in tasty meats, and everything served in the restaurant is topped with butter. Adam heads to the kitchen where the chef shows him how the make their popular buttered double cheeseburger and their Prime Rib Sandwich. Adam tears into the juicy cheeseburger slathered with butter and is a happy man. Next Adam dives into their outrageously delicious Prime Rib Sandwich, topped with sauteed onions and peppers, mushrooms, and butter on a toasted roll, and served with a side of buttery au jus. Adam sighs in contentment as he savors this delectible prime rib sandwich.
Second stop for Adam is Curly’s Pub, which is located inside Lambeau Field. Adam has his eye on the state treasure fried cheese curds and some tempting Johnsonville Beer Brats. The cook serves Adam a brat soaked in beer on a bun topped with onions that helped soak the brats, and sauerkraut, with a side of famous fried cheese curds. Adam chomps the brat and is in heaven, then takes a bite of fried cheese curds and can’t believe how this meal could get any better.
It’s time for Adam to meet Wisconsin-Oshkosh students Harrison Bowden and Zach Woolever at Champions Sports Bar and Grill for the Gravedigger Challenge. Adam checks in with the kitchen to watch the chef build this mighty 93 ounce burger. The chef cooks up the meat, tops it with 8 slices of American cheese, tomatoes, lettuce and onions and serves it up on a buttered bun.
Adam and the crowd cheer Harrison and Zach on while Packers players Freeman and Brown shout encouragement to inspire the challengers as they begin their hour long quest to defeat the nearly 6 pound burger. Harrison and Zach start off well, eating 2 pounds of the burger in 15 minutes. Adam coaches them advising they take small bites at a slow steady pace. At 30 minutes into the challenge Harrison and Zach have downed 4 pounds of the burger and charge forward until they suddenly hit the burger wall. Adam provided a tip to reheat the burger which also would remelt the cheese, helping the guys forge forward with 10 minutes left in the challenge. Harrison and Zach struggled to finish the burger but could not complete the small amount left of meat and bun in time.
