If you consider yourself a serious eater, you may want to tune in. These ridiculous food challenges go way beyond just a hot dog contest. They’ll test — and probably exceed — your limits as a human being. But hey, if you’re up for it, we’ll cheer you on the whole way.

1. The Eighth Wonder Burger Challenge — Clinton, New Jersey

At the Clinton Station Diner, you can order a burger beyond your wildest dreams. The challenge involves a 105-pound burger that stands almost a foot tall. You can attempt to finish the massive sandwich in teams up to 10 people. If you finish the burger in under an hour, the team gets a prize of $5,000.

If you love breakfast burritos, this is the challenge for you. The Jack-N-Grill in Denver offers the test of a lifetime: finish a seven-pound breakfast burrito stuffed potatoes, a pound of ham, a whole onion, cheese, chili and a dozen eggs in one sitting. There’s no time limit. The reward if you finish it? The meal is free, you get a button and your photo on the wall of fame and if you’re a woman, you get free meals for life at Jack-N-Grill’s Denver location.

3. The Fire In Your Hole Challenge — Sarasota, Florida

Pretty much anyone could eat 10 wings, and that’s exactly what this challenge is about. Sounds easy, right? Wrong. The Munchies 420 Café offers a nearly-impossible challenge: eat 10 wings coated in ghost pepper, the hottest pepper in the world, in 20 minutes. If you succeed, you get your picture on the wall of fame for life.
