So.... Fun fact: the pleats on the hat are also a symbol. Each pleat symbolizes a different way you know how to cook an egg..... Which is confusing for me seeing this guy use pancake mix while claiming to be a head chef lol
I just did a pancake challenge at a diner here in St Louis and while I didn't want another pancake for a few days, I was ready for more again by the following weekend hahaha
I got through a little less than half of the order, didn't wanna push myself considering I still had to drive home. May have been able to do 3/4 but I can't fathom eating the entire thing. I chose "The Elvis" so the peanut butter, banana, and bacon helped with the whole pancake overload sensation.
05:44 Oh man, the tactics in food-combat! "Captain we need some extra-sides on our position! Repeat! EXT.." KABOUUUM!!! What a hero, with supersmart moves vs the hamburger hill of pancakes. "The bacon is helping, but the bacon is also adding volume....""
The chef said he has less than a 1 percent chance of completing it but 1 percent of 297 is 3, and 4 people have completed it, which is MORE than a one percent chance. Thank you for coming to my nitpick Ted Talk😂
If you covered it in maple syrup it'd be easier to eat because it'd be softer, easier to chew and less heavy but sweeter, overall guarantee faster to eat, probably easier to eat, tastes better too.
Well adam isn't a competitive eater, for anyone who does it professional would cut it up shove in your mouth with your bare hands and wash it down with a beverage. You have to do it fast before your body starts sending a signal to the brain. I remember I tried a challenge of a massive burger. It was like several patties, and I remember I tried. Eventually your jaw just crams up, and I didn't eat fast enough that by the time I got halfway done my complete body stopped. Like you hit a very hard wall, and it's hard to pick up the fork again. Let's just say that stomach ache and restroom were not the best of times
So, I commend Adam for doing all these difficult challenges, but I'm willing to bet that if he didn't dick around and dramatize the whole situation talking with the crowd the whole time and actually got down to business, he would beat most of these challenges.
That's what makes the show fun to watch! They could've gotten any competitive eater to do Man vs. Food, but they chose Adam because of his charisma and cause he brings in the viewers. I guarantee the show would've had half the viewership it did if it was just some unentertaining fat sweaty dude eating big amounts of food lol.
Either it’s a local company they’re supporting that makes quality pancake mix, or it’s just to save time. Since diner style restaurants have such extensive menus, they often do stuff like that to save time. You’ll see stuff like frozen/bagged sauces, premade mixes for pancakes, waffles and fry batter, frozen fries, precut vegetables, and components from certain dishes being used the exact same way in others.
I bet this restaurant/cafe serve at least between 300-400 a day and to keep up with the constant flow of checks they would buy stuff in to save on a full days labour of prep constantly.
DMAX YOU HAVE GREAT CONTENT AND I (WE) LOVE THAT YOURE ONE OF FEW PEOPLE THAT HAS MAN VS. FOOD WITH ADAM! THANK YOU!!!! KEEP IT UP!!!!!! You do have other content I respect .. BUT Man Vs. Food wins with me everytime!!!!!!!! 💯
I tried this about a year and a half ago, going in knowing i'd lose. I just wanted the novelty of having the experience, and too see how far i could actually get. Years later, the staff still remember the show and were so friendly and nice. Even if you don't take the challenge, the food there is still really good. Just be prepared for the density in the pancakes. Those things are hard to swallow haha edit: i chose the blueberry ones as well and was 4 bites away from eating one whole pancake if anyone was curious
To all those complaining about the Math Error: we apologize for the math error, why don’t you go and try it, so we can make that number less than 1% to correct the mistake
You can easily make homemade pancake mix, I do it myself. All you really need is flour, baking powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt. A pancake mix is basically just all the dry ingredients already mixed.
I watched him every Wednesday with my grandma. Makes me miss her even more
Me too!!! ☹️
I’m sorry for your loss
@@logan5561 thank you.
@BBB H that’s awesome! Losing someone is never easy. The pain lessens but the memories never fade!
Used to watch this with my sister, anyways sorry for your lost man! ☹️
300 people tried, 4 are already on the wall...
Chef: “he has less than a 1% chance of making it”
Urm, actually.... 😂😂
It bothered me when he said it
Exactly 🤣🤣🤣🤣
1.33... %
Un fucking belivable
He's not too good at math that guy... probably why he lives in Hawaii
Eats three pounds of pancakes and then gets lei'd by multiple women. What a legend.
That's why you gotta love him. The crowd is staged, but you believe it. Adam is the fuckin' man!
I love how our British homies are vibing along us Americans in Adam's food challenges. You guys rock
We love it.
Love the way the chef is wearing full chef whites, plus hat while using pancake mix. ☺
Yeah? Right. Totally sucks they don’t actually make the pancake batter

Adam made this show so great.

The coffee and bacon was a smart move.
I couldn’t even finish my pancake at my local KEKE’s let alone this monstrosity. Props to the former best MVF host

I miss this show so much. The good old days
Agreed 👏
He just Probably taking a break, to lose all those Pounds he gained, from All those Episodes! 😜
I was in Honolulu last year and I’m saddened I didn’t go to this place...
I said "chef, I need help" once
Working for Parkhurst Dining, I learned to never utter those words ever again while working for Parkhurst Dining
It’s weird just having everyone watching you eat 😂
Because it always feels better when it's not you. LOL.
Probably just the fun of being part of something
From 2008 - 2012 In My Opinion
Adam Richman Was More Popular Then President Obama...
Thank You Adam Richman What A Ride It Was ! ❤✊🏼
Yea!
I can just imagine how many people get high n walk into that restaurant
Nothing like a stack of pancakes to start the day right… 😋
Blueberries are one of my favorite pancake toppings. Chocolate chips are great on pancakes, too. Yummy 😋. The biggest pancakes I've ever seen.
If I did this challenge, I'd go for chocolate and pecans.
Chocolate would have you running to the bathroom

Shows like this make me miss old box TV's
4/297 = 1.3% not less than 1%
Apologies for the math error, why don’t you go and try it, so we can make that number less than 1% to correct the mistake
You can do my taxes this year!

2:08 the mac daddy mixer , thats what i need
Great show and memories.
Me high at 3am would devour those pancakes with no problem lol.
Those pancakes are so big is a miracle he ate more than a half
Been looking for this episode. This is what I want to go to Hawaii for.
I went there. I only ate 1 pancake.
The chef said he has less than a 1 percent chance of completing it but 1 percent of 297 is 3, and 4 people have completed it, which is MORE than a one percent chance. Thank you for coming to my nitpick Ted Talk😂
Someone pointed that out at least seven months ago. But thanks for trying...
Omg I loved this show
Adam you are a food legend people try to be like you on TH-cam but it's like holding a match to a torch they'll never achieve your greatness
If you covered it in maple syrup it'd be easier to eat because it'd be softer, easier to chew and less heavy but sweeter, overall guarantee faster to eat, probably easier to eat, tastes better too.
Memories are a great reward on earth.
God bless you
I have no idea how anyone could eat that many carbs at once. This is one of the hardest challenges he's done.

@@round105not even Randy Santel who is a professional eater could beat this challenge
@@rarefootagehunter8214matt stonie could
The edit in the middle makes me think Adam stopped in the middle of the challenge to go surf then run back lol.
Back when I was younger, like in my 20’s I could have done this.. 52, I barely have a sandwich & I’m full..
Dude, I'm the same way! I'm 53.
So, I commend Adam for doing all these difficult challenges, but I'm willing to bet that if he didn't dick around and dramatize the whole situation talking with the crowd the whole time and actually got down to business, he would beat most of these challenges.

Its okay, not that big of a problem.
It’s a TV Show. Personality wins viewers
Being honest, it's probably good that he did it the way he did. REminder that he quit cuz of all the weight he gained. He felt awful.
Dick around lol
This man is a host
Logan has been on the pitch for the Mac daddy pancakes
3:26 I really thought he was gonna say "...and somehow....coming out of here..." 🍑 LOL
Adam is fine but the crowds for this show are so cringe
*make me cringe
Pancake mix...? Why not from scratch?

I agree, from scratch is always best
Because Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake Mix is the best.
@@TheIkaika777 I would beg to differ. Homemade buttermilk pancakes are the best.
Diabetes lmao 🤣 😂
Is it just me, or does the background music starting at 1:46 sound like Domination by Pantera?
For some reason, I only like pancakes with butter and syrup. All the other stuff ruins it.
Say What???!!!

I wouldn't be able to finish it in 90 min, but I would have chocolate and banana's on mine
Love your videos Adam , your so brave 😂😂😂😂😂
Matt Stonie must try this challenge
If I do this challenge, I’ll go with Blueberries and chocolate.
He should’ve dumped the coffee on the pancakes or vice versa.
I can feel my arteries clogging even just watching this
The people who comment on the guy wearing a chefs hat and using pre-made mix have never worked in the restaurant industry.

Dear food network...bring this man back with this food callenge show!!!!
He quit it was really hard on his health.
@@mezlabor i know but his episodes are super...that is why i whant to se him on the food network!!!
I remember when my family & I attempted the challenge back home in Honolulu. Didn't win but it was fun lol.
If this guy worked out everyday all day he'll basically be goku
This challenge is impossible for the average person, tried in 2019 and barely made a dent 😂
How much did u have to pay for it
@@rommelthedesertfox3089 I cannot remember tbh with you, I think it was like 30 40 dollars but don’t quote me was quite a time ago now.

2:04 Say hello to my little pancake friend
Awwwww... Next time Adam 😊🙏🏽🙏🏽
Lmao the scarface bit
Erik the Electric gotta try this!
It's weird that the mix is not made from scratch.
On their website it says 5lb of food. In this video opening, he states 4lb. Did they make it harder?
I feel like i need to get my eyeglass prescription updated.
2:04 I could keep that on repeat forever! XD
Pancakes with WATER?
Looks great I want some now 🌴🌴🌴🌴
God I looooooooooooove pancakes 🥞 🤤
5:01 correction, Adam had a 1.35% chance
4:56: 297 attempts, 4 complete means less than a 1% chance of succeding??? Interesting maths there buddy
4:38 what's going on with the woman on the right?
Let go LET GO ARGHHHH chef I need help 😂
I really don't feel like you deserve to wear a chef's hat when you need package mix to make something as simple as pancakes.
You can easily make homemade pancake mix, I do it myself. All you really need is flour, baking powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt. A pancake mix is basically just all the dry ingredients already mixed.
Here here!
I want some of those pancakes
Thomas Hungry has avenged Adam!
4lbs of hotcakes and bacon 😊
Could eat those pancakes in just a jiffy
Nope stop lying
@@justinvillanueva4662 so many people have completed the challenge since then, some in 24 minutes
That’s a lot of berries. Don’t burn my pancakes!
This looks like it would be easy since it’s pancakes but hell nah it isn’t
I bet my ex could finish that in record time.
Thomas Hungry won this challenge♥️
No syrup !?? That should be a crime
Thomas hungry Is Better than Adam
Yeah for a TH-camr definitely but Adam is definitely a better showman
when was this aired?
1990?
lol
ok.. maybe 2010... lol
A challenge i might put a decent dent in
Four out of 297 succeeded; that’s 1.3%!
I love pancakes so much but 3 pounds is inhuman. I could eat one pound with butter and syrup.
Hey Adam I could do this challenge and I would like to challenge you to the same challenge as you.
“Less than a 1% chance”
Excuse me it’s actually a 1.35% chance 🤓
Hi Adam please do Asia food tour challange . Please do it .
I wonder what was his all time record with these challenges
Wait… they’re famous for “their” pancakes and they make them by buying in a pre-made mix?
When dawg touched the food after high fiving shit got nasty to me
