The aim of the game? To finish one humongous 6lb folded pizza, stuffed with all manner of cheese and your choice of fillings. If you can get it done inside one hour, not only is the meal FREE, but you get a jaunty little winner's shirt too!

#FoodChallenge #Calzone #Alabama
Evening all! Thanks for joining me for the first episode in my most recent transatlantic adventure…
Today we’re in Alabama at Tre Ragazzi’s having a bash at their colossal calzone challenge! I hope you enjoy it and I’ll catch you in a week’s time for the next one! ‘Til then stay insatiable, love your old mate BMF 🙂
Evening mate 👍
Second !
The song came first
Hey boss man I gotta say that im a huge fan of yours and thanks for all the great content. Keep up the great work!!
Beard should go ahead and get a duel citizenship in the USA, CA and UK
I always love the ask for the dessert menu. That girls face just lit up.
my favourite as well😊😊
My theory is that since the meal becomes free he asks for the desert menu so he has an excuse to tip the staff kindly. Seems like a Mr. Beard thing to do.
@@josephderosier4846 I think you can tip without paying for a meal. 🤷🏼♂️
@@josephderosier4846 My theory is that since he is eating a lot of food, and for free, he wants to buy something so that the restaurant doesn't totally lose money on him destroying their challenge.
@@charleslaatz6189 I agree. Obviously he goes through a Diet Coke or two fairly often aswell.
As soon as she said an hour to eat it, Beard knew he was getting a free lunch! 😅
Starting when you take your first bite.
Oh, so I should really cut this up a bit before biting into it then. Save some time later on the mechanical effort.
@@protorhinocerator142 Let it cool a bit too
When you binge enough of his videos you really start to learn what’s gonna be easy for him ahaha
I feel like the fact that it wasn't pancakes meant he was getting a free lunch lol
Did you figure that out by yourself ?
We eat there all the time! The staff is in fact fabulous! More importantly the Rozzy sign is a non-profit in memory a little girl who passed away from cancer a few years back. Tre Regassi is a great supporter of raising awareness of childhood cancer! Thank you for sharing it! Rozlyn was a beautiful funny little girl who would have LOVED this❤
The staff seem wonderful, I’m envious because I probably won’t be able to eat there anytime soon
That doesnt make sense. Raise awareness for cancer? Cancer is known by everybody.. its also not easily solvable by knowledge so idk what awareness would do to stop it.
@@koenwijnen8278 Not easily solvable but can be often avoidable or least give you a better chance for survival with self monitoring and checking of your body to identify precursors of various cancers. Not many people also understand that cancer isn't 100% random and if you have family that have had cancer you should be extra vigilant in testing and looking for signs of that and similar cancers. Take leukemia for example. Most people might know that its basically a cancer of the blood/bone marrow but there are actually very many different types of leukemia. I actually had no idea...until my wife was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia just earlier this week.
@@eggsaladactyl my family has a history of cancers and othdr diseases. The men dont get older as 60. Ive never went to a doctor in my life
@@eggsaladactyl best of luck with the wife
I love how he never wants to be messy and is always respectful about it around other people. You’re for sure my favorite to watch do this
Beard eats anywhere from 10 to 50 times what I could in a sitting, then asks for dessert, and it never gets old.
Basically if your stranded out out at sea on a ship and all the food has run out don't fall asleep around beard else you will wake up covered in sugar with a limb missing...
Your comment does though.
This calzone was massive 👏🏻. The staff sounded super supportive and nice !
yeah cool place!
I say this as someone who grew up in Chicago and spent years in NYC and LA; people in the South are just very pleasant to be around. Often better spoken and better mannered. It's a shame more people don't explore the South. There's a lot to see and do. Most people would never think of vacationing in Alabama but it's actually a beautiful state full of great people.
@@RJT80 Couldn't agree more. I ended up spending some time in Mississippi and it was by far the friendliest place I've been to in the states.
@Dan Lucas I think moving out of an entire state because you didn’t like your area is goofy LMAO
@@RJT80 as someone from Alabama I appreciate your kind words. This was but a small taste of what is referred as “southern hospitality”
Beard is a National Treasure 💯 I worked 17 years in the restaurant industry, he so polite and the baddest dude at all times in an establishment. Love from Philly Adam
My wife and I eat here once or twice a week love the food and the waitresses was such a blessing we will miss all of them 😢 they went out of business our loss good to all the ladies that waited on my wife and I good luck and God bless
Thats sad to hear, thanks for sharing
We love when beard responds to himself as a much wiser man from the future, one of the best bits 😂
Every video im like sureley he is not gonna ask for desert this time 🤣
Maybe he is from a woke vegan future escaping back in time to eat meat :-D
Happy you mentioned frequently how friendly the staff were, as they made this challenge extra enjoyable. Kudos to you and them. If I'm ever in the area, I'd definitely want to give that place a visit.
I love how everyone things he's trolling them when he asks for a dessert menu
@@krisfrederick5001 I eat a lot for a normal person, and have done a few small challenges, nothing compared to Beard, after so much usually fairly salty food something sweet is absolutely necessary.
All the locations were closed down a few months back sadly.
Beard is so polite. Thanks for representing us well.
I love how Adam always acts a bit unsure when ordering, like he hasn't spent the last 12 hours looking into it :D
maybe it's so they don't become suspicious of him being a professional eater
@@cvspvr yes I like it! Throw them off the scent!
I like how he made it sound like he was intimidated by the size of it in front of the staff. So then they come out and are astonished by how fast he's eaten it lol.
to be honest every time he dows one of these he doesnt know if he will finish its like climbing everest. u gotta stay humble
Under promise, over deliver. 😉
Yesss tee hee he knows how to stir the pot
Each grey hair is medal to be worn with pride, a representation of a hardship overcome, an illness recovered from, a relationship that is no more. A symbol of survival that no others can share because we all travel different paths to earn our grey hair.
How true Terry , how true.
4:29 The music sounds like an awesome 80's fighting arcade game...
Such a lovely chap.. We need more here in the states..
Bring Mrs Beard across the pond
So cool to see you in Alabama as a native of the state! I did a “food challenge tour” around my home state back in 2017 to try and beat all the Alabama food challenges, and on April 15th of that year I did this challenge in a time of 18:07 so you beat me by almost a minute! Glad you got to visit and enjoyed your stay!
well done dan :)
Have you got a vid of it, as I’d like to see that
@@marshallaffleck6229 are you calling Dan a liar? Dan don't lie
it would be more fun if he visited alabama with his sister :)
Same here he beat me by 2 minutes
You almost always comment on how nice the people are at your challenges. I would say, you get what you’d give. Well done Beard!
cheers mate :)
Crazy to see my home town on UA-cam. I grew up in Glencoe. I went to the high school that is directly behind that restaurant. Lived right across the highway with my folks behind the Hungry Hut. Makes me miss home. There was another Tre Regazzi on Broad Street about 10 minutes away from this one. Not sure if they closed down or don't offer the food challenge there, but it was a bit bigger and nicer. Thanks for the feels.
I love how the waitress brought you a full pitcher of water! 👍
"Bugger me, it's bright out here" was pretty much my reaction every time I stepped outside when I worked in GA / AL :) Spend your life trying to dash between buildings, car - anywhere that's got A/C.
As a resident of Alabama, I agree. As I type this, it is hotter than the surface of the sun. 😂😮
I always feel sorry for whoever has to pick up the cup afterwards🤣🤣
i'm guessing you've never washed the dishes growing up, never done any manual labor in your life, probably daddy did it all for you and gives you money
Gloves and rags exist.
@@bcaye So does a litter picker (trash claw) 🤣🤣🤣
best to just set fire to it
@@bcaye so do eyes🤣🤣
I was diagnosed with coeliac disease in September...gutted. I don't know how you ended up on my UA-cam feed, but I now get my gluten fix through your videos as I watch with deep envy 😆🖤 x
I'm with you. I'm sorry you cant enjoy the foods you want. I get it, I'm tube fed and live vicariously through Beards vlogs. xxx
I want to do every food challenge this guy has ever done. Zero chance I would complete any of them but they all look so amazing. I don't care if I end up having to pay for the full boat, it would still be worth it.
The dessert menu situation never gets old
Very true. I like it when he captures expressions of people when he’s just hoovered up the table
Agreed! 😂
The staff are always so lovely. Great people, great fun!
I'm honestly always surprised at how reasonably priced these challenges are if you lose. 35 dollars is not too bad for that.
Actually lol'd at the 'saltier than Jurgen Klopp' line, wasn't expecting that 😂
What's a "Jurgen Klopp"? Sounds like a medical condition. Or a symptom. "Oh, no. He has a case of the Jurgen Klopps."
@@dbone3356 football or soccer manager
@@dbone3356 Liverpool FC's Manager. He can get a bit testy with the media.
i am proud i got that one. i dont care about football at all, but he is famous here in germany for his temper.
He needs to get saltier with some of his players the way they've carried on lately.
Sweet home Alabama 👏 glad you’re back in the states beard
I think it's sweet how you order dessert that way you're making a purchase for the restaurant and I'm sure you tip well too. That's nice. And I'm in Alabama and yes the sun is bright as hell here, sometimes too bright.🌞
Love watching beard. Makes me hungry every time I watch him eat. That calzone looked amazing.
"Saltier than Jurgen Klopp" PRICELESS. Especially after yesterday's result 🤣🤣🤣🤣
hahaha liverpool fan's going to be raging at me
Too bad my Gunners choked against the Toffees but a good one about Klopp!
@@Beardmeatsfood fingers crossed they'll be raging even harder when Everton do em next week (PLEASE GOD PLEASE).
I wonder how many challenge shirts Beard actually has. Maybe he could do a video on them. Well done as always.
@@Beardmeatsfood Who do you support Beard? I suspect you could be 'a Manc' or a Leeds fan.
Asking for the dessert menu never gets old! I love the reactions.
I love how these videos are always the perfect length to enjoy a meal to
You are so well mannered, a rare thing to see. Pleasure to watch!
i try :)
That calzone looked so delicious 🤤
is it pizza pie?
Good to see you enjoying our southern hospitality here in sweet home Alabama
Probably been my favourite youtube channel for a while now. Always excellent videos, great sense of humour aswell.
The service was awesome. They were friendly and attentive. The calzone looked incredible. Great job 👏
cheers mate :)
In this frigging mess of a world Im glad we have you for some much needed wholesome entertainment
happy to help mate :)
Awesome as always! I can't eat foods like this anymore for health reasons, so I just try to enjoy them vicariously through videos like yours.
I'm curious if he was ever told that prosciutto and ham are the same thing. lol... it's like a huge hot pocket :)
Nice job dude! I also want to note that everyone in this video was extremely polite and friendly. Wholesome content from the Beard!
Southern Hospitality on full display!
@@CptWhit3y 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Americans can be some of the nicest and kindest people you would ever want to meet. The opposite is also true but I am pretty sure you can say that about anyone anywhere.
I love it when Beard visits the South. Everyone is so polite, relaxed and hospitable!
It's Sweet Home Alabama for a reason!
Damn that may be the friendliest staff you've had on the channel. Super polite and welcoming.., The hospitality of the South i guess.
Definitely
Try doing it with other skin color. Surprise: they will still be nice.
Hearing you ask for the dessert menu NEVER gets old!
This dude deserves all the views, just an all-around cool bloke
Oh man, I love it when he gets dessert afterward just to blow everyone’s minds!!! Lol!
I’m still waiting to hear him laugh just once without also coughing.
Go to the 8:40 mark
That is his laugh😂
think my parents made me watch wacky races too much when i was a kid
@@Beardmeatsfood Better than laughing like Muttley
Makes him sound like a smoker 🤣🤣🤣
Wow, staff there were so friendly. Hopefully more people go in there. Congrats on smashing it.
Haha you can tell he wasn’t scared by this challenge at allll. Way to go Adam. Now I’m off to get me a calzone lol
enjoy!
He was scared of sleeping with his cousin.
@@SeriousDragonifywhat???
@@SeriousDragonify what the hell 🤣
@@Showmetheevidence- there is a stereotype that southern people, namely from Alabama and Mississippi sleep with their cousins and other family members.
Love the kindness of the workers and that calzone is looking really delicious 😍
I live in Alabama and will be coming to visit some friends next year in Leeds, UK. Let's get together for lunch!! You need a video challenge with a "regular" eater to show the world what an eating machine you are.....
Always astonishing how fast you get through most of these challenges.
The sheer amount of cheese in that thing tho! You were right to go carefully. Absolutely smashed it yet again! ❤ 😮
Just love how polite you always are. Costs nothing and shows pure class. Oh and great video/beard/calzone etc!
Time to go back 5 years and try The Ol' Mukbang challenge again! That was an interesting one lol. Totally fan boying over here, Adam. Much love from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia!
Per the Gadsden Times, 4/24/23: "Tre Ragazzi’s Glencoe location at 616 Banks St. closed in late March."
Nice, polite American staff to a nice, polite fellow Englishman! Well done Beard, you never let the 'old country' down! Really enjoy your challenges abroad as well as here in the 'old country.'
All that cheese would have me plugged for a month! 😂
I love the absolute power move of asking for the dessert menu
Dude your content is awesome, entertaining and always make me hungry, awesome!
Not sure what veggies were available, but spinach would’ve been tactically perfect since it wilts down to pretty much nothing. Nice job, Beard! Welcome to Bama!
That is a good point.
Welcome *back* you mean. He has another video from Alabama last year
At least he got to pick and wasn't stuck with mushrooms.
It's also heavy in fiber
Well the only problem is that spinach can also make you choke lol ik I've almost choked on cooked spinach before
Never fails to crack me up, the reaction to you asking for the dessert menu…. Priceless.
It's the diet coke that gets me.
Still cracks me up the look on their face when you ask for the desert menu!
Great job! ✨ I'm so glad everyone was so nice and helpful. Blessings to you and Mrs. Beard 🌺🕊️
thanks gina!
Here for the dessert
Me too
I feel like you always bring out the best in people!!! You absolutely crushed that massive calzone and the ask for dessert menu is always hilarious 😂
I don’t know why but I’m fascinated by these videos… new subscriber top man👊
I laughed when you lamented, “this is hard work.” You are too funny Beard 😂
I would order that just to eat with my family😂it’s massive but it looked so good. Gotta love how friendly the staff was. Makes me wanna take a trip further south to get one❤
I love hearing the beautiful Southern accents in this video. Great job on the calzone Mr. Beard.
cheers mate :)
ussually watchin ur vids on my tele, god do i wanta finally try me a food challenge, been watchin em for years, urself the bearded lad, furious pete and la beast, ya'll inspire me
I love love love your vidoes i never miss one!!
It's great when you go to a place and the staff don't recognise you, all adds to the experience. Thanks for uploading stay safe 👏
Good luck as always Adam!!! Your work ethic is amazing!
thanks mate :)
@@Beardmeatsfood give me a shout if you're ever in Houston, TX and we'll take you out for a good meal and a challenge! Thanks again for the content.
I just discovered the channel and have been binging it, awesome videos Adam! It was funny to see you were like 15 minutes from me in this one lol, Tre Ragazzis has some good food for sure
The canoli and calzone look awesome. Co-worker writes "caloze" on slips sometimes so we've called it that for years.
I can’t imagine being able to drive for 3 hours after a meal like that.
After 20 minutes I'd be pulling off the road to take a nap.
I wouldn't be able to breathe after a meal like that, much less drive.
This is what I’m always thinking. And now Katinas videos (if you follow) she’s walking to all these places. I would have to roll over in a coma
I was thinking the same thing
It's a gorgeous drive through there!
The best time of the week on UA-cam! Love the podcast too
ah thanks mate, means a lot!
what a very friendly bunch of people :)
Yay!! So happy you came to Alabama! Made my day!
Asking for the dessert menu, gets me every damn time! LMAO!! Love the looks on their face!
I love calzone,But that one was massive!! And having dessert after that,glad to see you back in the U.S!!! Another great video!!
thanks mark
Like a true winner he gets dessert lol that's why I love this guy
Your editing is getting better and better. I'm engaged before the food challenge comes to mention.
I didn’t think in a million years that you would be doing a food challenge where I grew up!
I’m always amazed about the size of the soft drinks… comes in bucket size only. 😅
Welcome to America!
Don't be. It's loaded to the brim with ice then soda of choice. Pour that soda out into a normal water glass and it's maybe 3/4 full or less.
And free refills. 🙄🤣
Welcome to the US.😉
Glow in the dark stuff is always cool 😎 great job
You wanted "soft" ingredients, BUT GOT ONIONS??? Olives DEFINITELY sounds like a better option lol
I bet Mrs Beard is disappointed in you for not taking the complimentary bread on this one lol! Well done Adam tho, you smashed this and made it look super easy! I really wanna see all the t-shirt you've won over the years, maybe a little haul on ig?
yeah she'll never forgive me
@@Beardmeatsfood 🤣🤣
Now THAT'S a calzone! Looks delicious!
Oh the cheese! I feel queasy thinking of it all 😄, looked like a walk in the park for you like. I love watching your US adventures ☺️
Saltier than Klopp! Nearly spat my tea out 😂 Keep up the great work Beard 👍
Even Randy would be happy with that clean up
"When the moon hits your eye, like a big pizza pie, that's calzone." 🎶
Seriously though, both the calzone and the cannoli looked delicious. Not to mention, the calzone was finished in under 20 minutes! 😯
hahaha i loooove when u ask for deserts chuckled when thay said " we did u an extra one " noooicely done
The stringy Mozzarella danger can not be overstated . I once nearly choked to death on a calzone in a local Italian restaurant due to this. My wife gets nervous every time I order one now!!
Have you considered chewing?
Great to see you in Alabama! Great job with the Calzone! Hopefully you will come back to the state and try some more of the states food challenges. Safe Travels!
I love your manners while you absolutely destroy the meal. I often watch your challenges while eating my meals.
Cheers, to you and yours, mate!
