  • I am at Howie's Diner in Lawrenceburg, IN to take on their Big Biscuits and Gravy Challenge. This is a huge bowl of 16-17 biscuits and filled to the top with sausage gravy. I have one hour to finish this and if I do I will get the $19.99 breakfast for free, an awesome T-shirt, and join some of my friends on the Wall of Fame. I will be going for overall win #50 which is symbolic to me not only as completing 50 food challenges in my first year but also because my very first food challenge was also a breakfast challenge. Thank you to Chelsea and everyone at Howie's Diner for their kindness and hospitality and also for setting this up for us.

    I'm just catching up on your older videos.
    You did great in this video.
    Biscuit and gravy is probably my favorite breakfast dish. I can imagine how difficult this challenge had to be. They are quite filling.
    You mentioned flavor fatigued, wondering if something like Louisiana style hot sauce would help. It's not to spicy, but the vinegar helps with rich foods. I always put it on fried chicken and fried fish.

    • @EliLessig

    Wow! That took some will-power. Was that a literal biscuits and gravy? Did they with-hold the sausage completely? Hope your suffering was short and light from that. Do you think they serve that to their patrons? Nah, I'm no cook and even I'd put sausage and pepper in biscuits and gravy. Incensed, I envisioned you taking one bite, putting down the spoon, paying for it and indignantly walking out. It could be an epilogue.

    • @EliLessig
      @EliLessig  Před 10 měsíci

      There may have been a little sausage in the gravy but it was minimal. The challenge is available to anyone and I agree that when we make it at home it has a lot of black pepper in it.
