Adam travels to New Brunswick, New Jersey to face the R.U. Hungry grease truck challenge. The Fat Sandwich Challenge boasts 5 overstuffed sandwiches topped with fries. Fat Sandwiches are a staple of local Rutgers University students. 250 challengers have tried the Fat Sandwich Challenge but only 16 completed the challenge so far.

First Adam checks out Rutgers University and partakes in their tailgating party. Next Adam visits Harold’s Deli. Every food item at Harold’s Deli is BIG. A deli specialty is their monster matzo balls the size of softballs, floating in chicken broth. The deli doesn’t miss a beat when it comes to sweets, serving up a decadent 6 layer chocolate cake for dessert. One of Harold’s Deli’s best selling items is their 10 pound triple decker deli sandwiches you’d need an army to help you eat. Adam’s sky high sandwich is stacked with corned beef, pastrami and turkey, a 12 inch tall deli sandwich in all. Adam disects a portion of the meats and stuffs them between the bread to dig into a portion of this humongous sandwich.

Next Adam visits the Stuff Yer Face restaurant where stromboli’s are king and come in sizes baby, large and huge. The popular 2 pound Italian meat and cheese stuffed pizza dough sandwiches are a campus classic at Rutgers University. Adam asks if he can make his own combo and the answer is yes. Adam requests a huge 18 inch sandwich made of beef sirloin, grilled chicken, cheddar cheese, brie cheese, carmelized onions, fresh onions, tomatoes and fresh spinach, topped with a spicy ancho chipotle sauce. Adam takes a bite of his stromboli and is in heaven.

Adam arrives at campus to take on the R.U. Hungry grease truck for the Fat Sandwich Challenge. Adam must eat 5 Fat Sandwiches in the Fat Sandwich Challenge in 45 minutes. With 20 mouth watering sandwich options Adam orders up his 5 competition sandwiches: Chicken Fat Cat, Veggie Fat Cat with fried veggie burger, Fat Romano and 2 Fat Koko steak sandwiches. As Adam gets ready to start the food challenge, Rutgers University students chant “Adam, Adam” and “sandwich, sandwich” to cheer him on. Adam tears into the first of 2 Koko steak sandwiches. Adam finishes the first Koko in 4 minutes and his second Koko sandwich in 13 minutes. Adam digs into the Fat Romano next. As Adam starts to scarf down the third sandwich a former contestant in the challenge tells Adam to slow down. Adam jokes “I always practice safe challenge, I always use a condiment”.

Adam starts to feel full at the twenty minute mark while eating the Fat Romano sandwich and hits the meat wall. Adam is struggling with the third sandwich with 18 minutes left. He finishes the Fat Romano and starts in on the Chicken Fat Cat. The crowd chants as Adam barely finishes the Chicken Fat Cat with 4 minutes left to down the Veggie Fat Cat. Adam does everything he can to down the Veggie Fat Cat. Halfway through Adam must concede to the meat wall and give up the challenge in the last minute of the contest. Adam throws down the half Veggie Fat Cat sandwich and tells the students in today’s challenge between man vs food, food won.
