- čas přidán 4. 04. 2023
- I am at The Open Door Diner in Altamont, IL where they have two food challenges. One is the Gramps Breakfast Challenge. It includes 4 biscuits, 4 eggs, 4 sausages, and 2 orders of hashbrowns then smothered with sausage gravy and loads of cheese. There is a 30 minute time limit to finish it all. The other challenge has only two previous winners. It is called the Door Stop Burger. There are two 1.5-pound beef patties totaling 3 full pounds then topped with 12 cheese slices, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, and bacon, served on a big Hawaiian bun and one pound of fries. There is a one hour time limit to finish. Both meals are free if completed. Can I do either? Can I do both? No one has done it or even attempted it yet. Thank you to Cassie for the wonderfull service and thank you to The Open Door Diner for welcoming us with kindness and hospitality. Thank you to the great people of Altamont who was there for the challenge. We had a great time and had some great food!

That was AMAZING, Eli !!! Kudos, thumbs up and absolutely ALL my respect for what you did there! Nothing but amazingly and incredible👍👍👍
Much appreciated! Thank you for watching!
Congrats for completing both of them. The staff is always friendly and lovely.
Thank you, they were awesome!
Great video and awesome job! That staff was very polite and courteous. You probably gave them a story to tell all their future customers.
Thanks buddy, I hope so!
You made me chuckle about “Quit complaining you choose to start eating.”
Lol, I swear my kryptonite is not waiting for the food to cool off.
That's a ton of stuff nice one Eli. The lovely lady was amazing host too
She was awesome! The whole diner including the other diners were really great. Small town restaurants are always better than chain restaurants.
@@EliLessig The whole food challenge community is win win. Great staff in great restaurants are suddenly showcased by great food lovers. Even your viewers are happy.
That was really impressive. I wouldn’t even consider trying to do both. Wow. Great job!😮
Thanks buddy, both were really tasty.
Never had cheese with biscuits & gravy as well but I would try it.
And two in one sitting! 🤣 I don’t know how y’all do it.
I really liked it. Been eating biscuits and gravy for 40 years and never had cheese on it.
Just have to say...that was amazing, and a true competitor in food challenges...congrats!!!!
Thank you very much!
Used to eat at a cafe that had a dish called "Riff Raff". Two biscuits with sausage gravy, crumbled bacon on top, chopped raw onion on top of that, then smothered in monterrey jack cheese. A little hot sauce on top and you had a great meal!
Oh man that does sound good. That's my kind of meal!
That was a super nice breakfast Eli. I don't think it could have been done better and made to look so great
I love small town diners! There isn't any frills but they sure know how to cook some delicious food.
I happen to live in a city of hundreds of crappy restaurants. It’s a tourist beach city in which the wife and I do a lot of walking. We encounter people that ask for a good place to eat….there really isn’t a great restaurant but there are a couple good independent pizza and coffee shops but….that’s about it. More than once I’ve told em “just about anyone you pick will be no better than the other, it’s a crap shoot, with “crap” being the operative word.”
💯 there are lots of places exactly like you described.
Congrats. Outstanding. I’m now a new follower. Your fries. Your attack on them are different from Garbage’s fry ball . Seems to work. I’m still in shock. Back to back meals. Way to go.
Hey, I appreciate the support. I like the fryball method a lot but that's his thing and I don't want to imitate everything he does. It is very effective especially for someone as fast as him.
@@EliLessig believe me I get it. Keep it going.
Looks like ideal breakfast size ☺️ I definitely wouldn’t have ate the burger challenge after, but I would’ve buried the onions in the last piece of bun.
This was a fun place and the food was delicious. I am glad I got to do these. Love a great diner!
Two challenges in one sitting?! Wow! Great job!
This is a great diner with wonderful people. Both challenges were absolutely delicious! Thank you for watching!
Your ability to be able to do these amazes me. Wow! Great job Eli. 👏❤️😱
Thank you, this was great food and made it easier to do.
This was a shock, never do know what your gonna do next! ❤❤❤
Got to keep you on your toes.
I love the fact you did back to back challenges! Your capacity it super impressive!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Oh my goodness, I've been waiting for this video. I start working there on Friday 😁😁😁😁
They used to have a wall of shame and a wall of fame, but they took it down because the wall of shame got too big. My mom and dad used to get the doorstop and split it for all of us to share it
Awesome! Everyone there was incredibly nice.
@@keyara-rg6dk Walls of shame tend to fill up. A wall of fame doesn't fill as quickly. I also think walls of shame tend to discourage people from attempting.
Wow that's lots of food 😋🇨🇦👍 Super Star ✨⭐
Thank you!
I knew you would do it but holy sh*t that was a lot of food. Brilliant mate, well done!
Lol, thank you!
CRAZY!!!! I know you were hurting after that! Good job Eli!!!!
Thank you, yeah it was a little rough towards the end.
Killed it!! I wish I had half of your capacity! Super impressive, Eli!!!
Thank you Maery!
You mean 1/10th.
I could do the breakfast challenge. As I love gravy and biscuits and have ate around half of that challenge at least 20-30 times before. But I wouldn't get 1/4 of that burger down. We used to grow onions like those growing up, fist sized yellow onions that made you sweat with only one slice on a burger. But it was a nice burn. You The Man!
Thanks man, they were both delicious and I have no doubt you could do the breakfast challenge. I honestly was filling up and everything seems a little more intense when that happens. The burger was really good and I appreciate them making a way for me to attempt it. Thank you for the support and thanks for watching too!
Another one bites the dust! That looked amazing!
Thank you! They were both great.
Good job man 💪
And thank god for the table cam, we were able to see people faces when they knew that you are attempting to do the other challenge too!
Thank you, I'm glad I had it there too! They were great people and a very nice diner.
Take care of your other customers first very polite and christ like i applaud you sir my kind of guy
Thank you very much, they were busy and I don't want other people to have to wait because of me.
Another great video of you smashing another food challenges!
Thanks man!
Hey Eli just in time for my morning coffee can't wait to watch have a wonderful day
Awesome, have a great day!
Very impressive man 2 at once. Congratulations
Thank you!
That's alot on the first plate, goodness! # 100 to hit that like button.
Awesome! I appreciate the support!
I love it! Challenging yourself is what challenges are all about. I wish I had more challenges like this. Staff was wonderful and you crushed it.
Thanks buddy!
Wow Eli - I had no idea you could eat that much. Truly Incredible
Thank you, it helps when the food tastes so good.
Incredible Eli! That was a lot of food!! 👍
Thanks, yeah it was. Glad it was tasty!
Very very awesome job! That looked like a feat! Thanks for the entertaining video!
Thank you for watching!
....I along with everyone else watching was eating every last mouthful hoping you could do it!!!🍻
Thank you! These were great challenges and an awesome diner.
That was a great video to watch I was willing you on there towards the end 👍🏼
Thank you, the last few bites were a little rough for sure!
Well done. Back to back is crazy. I like your little dog timer. I wonder if I could eat that burger in one day if I ate nothing else. I am not sure. It looks like a crazy amount of food.
This burger was one of the best "oversized" burgers that I have had. The flavors were great and the bacon was crispy. It was not overdone like large burgers tend to be.
I've seen you collab with Bob and Brandon.. if you get over in Pennsylvania.. love to see you and the beast Molly Schuyler try a challenge together. She is unreal.
She is on another level! Actually my 5th challenge ever I was fortunate enough to eat with her. I never made a video because the quality is so bad but she did make one of us. Trax BBQ in McCordsville, IN. I did the 1/2 sheet challenge and I believe got the second fastest time there but she did an undefeated 17lb full sheet challenge and obviously made mine look like a childs snack!
Damn I have to day this meal doesn't look good at all. Amazing that you finished it👏
I liked it. It probably looked worse because I was mixing it together. Thanks for watching!
Looks good! Watching from Embarrass MN. Love your videos
Thank you very much!
Less than a yr of doing this awsome buddy
Thank you, it has been so much fun going to new places and meeting wonderful people!
Stay hungry and keep being legendary 💪great video
Thank you!
You are the man! KOOL
Thank you!
Awesome job 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!
That hurt!...lol! They both looked so good!
Both were perfect!
Freaking awesome
Thank you, both of these were very tasty.
You are crazy! But a lot of fun to watch
Lol, I appreciate it!
Congratulations 🎊 👏
Thank you!
I’m new to your channel , I sure do like your personality, I can see your a very good person, I enjoyed your channel 👍👍♥️🙏🙏
I appreciate that and also appreciate the support! Thank you for watching!
What a champ!
Thank you!
0:29 That's a good Word
I agree
Great job Eli!
Thank you very much
Good Job!
Thank you very much!
Food looks great
This diner is great. I love breakfast but that burger was very tasty too!
The Bun of Eli 😬
It was tasty!
What a wonderful diner! So accommodating and friendly. I’m sure it helped that the food was great. Good work Eli 👍
This place was great. Cassie went above and beyond to take care of us. Thank you so much!
Another amazing win! You are a badass! I actually felt anticipation, as to whether or not you would complete the challenge. This video deserved a like and share!
Thank you! I appreciate the support.
I love breakfast u got this u will take a nap after this one have fun and enjoy yourself 😊😊😊
I definitely could have used one. We ended up driving back home for a 3 hour drive!
Awesome Eli! Even though I've got eyes bigger than my stomach I think that would've been WAY too much food. So awesome seeing friendly staff and community during the challenge!
Thank you! Cassie was great and took wonderful care of us. They whole restaurant was packed and nobody waited on anything.
You are a champ
Thank you, this is a great diner!
Eli you rock ❣️❤️❣️❤️
Thank you, I hope you liked the video!
Wow proud of ur improvements very good 👍
Thank you!
You are a beast fam
I appreciate it man.
My kid never goes outside 😂😂
Most don't nowadays!
In the ‘70’s I couldn’t keep my kid indoors, out at the crack of dawn in at dinner, out, gone till dark, sometimes past.
Good job Eli
Thank you!
Good job eli
Thank you very much!
My kind of challenge right there! Your B&G at the beginning is my normal helping when we have it here at home and I tend to go back for another half as my second helping. She uses Grands layered biscuits and I use 5 for making Sausage, Egg and Cheese Biscuits smothered in gravy. I think I could do both challenges if I could do them both together. Gravy sandwiches are yummy! lol
It was definitely tasty, as I got more full the onions definitely made it more difficult but I still enjoyed both challenges.
Dang!!!! 😮
Lol, we had a great time here.
Lol.. at the same time?.. uh no 😂
Lol, I don't make the best decisions very often.
The first one was a walk in the park ya. Good strategy with the burger to make them into small sandwiches. I would request no salt on fries in my challenges. Most of them will say ok to that
Thats a great idea. Thank you.
Keep going for more subs❤❤❤
Thank you!
double nice
Both were great challenges!
OMG u just had breakfast but u got this 😅😅😅
Lol, thank you!
WOW
Hope you liked it!
@EliLessig I haven't watched one of your videos that I didn't like. I have only recently started watching you though since Randy said you completed a challenge.
@@sandradunaway3923 hey thats great to hear! Randy is a great guy and that voice over is from his porgies chow wagon video he did. I did it the day before.
I live about 40 minutes from there and was considering a challenge, but now I'm saddened, because I may have to try both now at the same time. I'm a huge guy, but I don't think I have that capacity.
Start with the breakfast and see how you feel afterwards. It's a big burger but the Hawaiian roll is a lot of bread after the biscuits.
@@EliLessig, Gravy sometimes makes me feel like butterflys in my stomach so I try to eat solid foods first which then see how I feel to go forward.
❤❤
❤️
👍
👍
It looks messy. But you are awesome 😊
Thank you very much! I do try to be neat but sometimes it is impossible.
When did you realize that you had this much capacity it very impressive 😮😮😮
Not quite a year ago. This is my 11th month but I've got a little better over the year.
My brother in law always mixed all of his breakfast food together like that. I asked him why he did that and he said it all goes to the same place lol
Lol, that's a great answer!
@@EliLessig yeah lol
Try springing sugar on it.
Thank you 🙏
Heyyyy friend let’s goooo ❤
Happy Wednesday!
Can’t imagine how your stomach must feel after that.
Some days are better than others. It's mostly spicy challenges that hurt.
your tshirt- Where is the I in "EL I?"
I may change it one day. It is EL for Eli Lessig.
Hope you took a much deserved nap after that 🤣
Lol, I needed one! I ended up driving 3 hours back home.
Way a Go Eli 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
🤘🎸🤘 Rock On Bro 🤘🎸🤘
Lightning Eli is striked another W for the Champ 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
That burger is a killer and it's huge
And you take it down with a strong jaw and you did awesome
Me James and Joretta are giving you a big hand 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

At least 1 clip from 197?
I don't understand the comment.
The waitress was so tickled by you. I loved this double challenge.
She was a really sweet lady. I'm happy they made it possible for me to do that. Thank you for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
You live in indiana.
Yes sir. Southern Indiana, not far from Louisville, Ky.
All you mid-western corn-fed people can eat like 5 people.
🤣🤣🤣 Something in our water.
First time I've seen u sweat hard-core bro.
I'm sure there will be more in the future!
....I don't get it, why do you guys break the burgers down, eat the meat then eat the bun and condiments? That's just me....
Sometimes it is easier to eat that way. It also helps with changing up flavors.
Just call me Trevor. How to you keep your boyish figure Eli. After all this eating do you purge your stomach after . Or is it because it is good to be young, and you simply are young don't gain weight . Hmm
I definitely gain weight. It will fluctuate as I do challenges and I average 1-2 per week. In between I keep my calories low and exercise as much as possible but there is still weight gain.
I fuckin love u ELI and I KNEW ur ass was gonna go for that burger challenge as well. Not b/c of the Intro but U slopped up that breakfast so fast U looked like u wanted more. :P and tbh I also wanted more
I appreciate that, comments like this keep me motivated. Thank you for the support!
