    Pro-tip, If you are ever challenged with a big pile of raw onions again, ask for a pile of lemon wedges, fresh lemon or lime juice neutralizes a lot of the 'bite' from raw onions, making them taste much sweeter, almost refreshing.

    Eli, you are one hell of a good sport with them sabotaging the challenge. Although I would have handled the situation just as you did, I would not return for another challenge with these people nor would I even dine there under normal circumstances. Just as they expect you to play fair they should also. Excellent video!!

    They say all’s fair in love and war, but they don’t say nothing about food challenges. Never understand a restaurant that actively doesn’t want you to win. Me, I want to serve up a good meal and get a bit of a show, but you gotta play fair.

    Eli, you brought up something that recently dawned on me with the last Joel Hanson challenge I recently watched. That the cooks sabotaged him by putting a shockingly amount of salt within his giant burrito! I didn't think of that until after I had already written a comment. However, you saying that you feel you were deliberately sabotaged gives me the opportunity to mention about Joel. He shouldn't have completed that challenge. Too much salt can be extremely dangerous. Too many onions, can only be grassy!! But, the cooks should not have done that. It gives the restaurant a bad name. They should be fired!!!
    Congratulations!! And have a blessed 2024.

    • @EliLessig
      @EliLessig  Рік тому +11

      Unfortunately sometimes challenges aren't always equal. Sometimes they are accidental and then there are times that it is deliberate. Ultimately it is our choice whether to proceed or not. I remember one time I had a challenge that was quite a bit larger than the previous challenge but it was made by someone who had never put one together. It's hard to keep everything completely fair unless scales are involved. I can't control how I am treated but I can always control how I behave. I hope that I acted appropriately.

    Nice job guys! Burger looked great, but, man, yeah, way too many onions. Tomatoes or lettuce I wouldn’t of mind. Great fry ball, too. When I did the Bardzilla where I fell just short, they may have cheated me a little as they gave me way more fries than just a basket, but it’s all good. I did try a fryball then and I have to say it does help save time. St. Louis is awesome as back in 2006, Marija and I hung out, saw and went up the arch, a very small capsule going up and small area at the top of it, also saw St. Louis Cardinals game seeing Pujols hit a home run, so cool!

    The trick to the onion is asking for it sauteed. A whole onion reduces down about 40% of its weight before cooked properly. Sauteed onions caramelize and becomes so savory and good!

    Best thing to do is get a detailed list of what is Included in the challenge , number of pickles, onion tomatoes etc. It dont matter what the food is, burger, pizza, wings etc. Always get a detailed description from the manager and make sure they stick to the agreement
