When I first saw the pancake I thought this will be easy for Eli but then he showed how thick it is and wow now not sure. LOVE that he does the mom and pops type restaurants! Also Eli is humble and uses no profanity the other eating challengers are the opposite. Keep up good work Eli!
Thank you for those kind words! I truly appreciate it and I am glad you enjoyed the content! This was so big I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to do it either 😆
Hi Eli - 2 people have completed it in 16 years!!! And they have made it bigger since the first person did it. Those that watched you eat it will be talking about this momentous occasion for the next 16 years. Congrats Eli. Thanks for the video
@@EliLessig heck yeah now I know that we're from the same time era if you know who Uncle Buck is and used to play in the dirt for fun then we're the same kind of people LOL
That was amazing, Eli! That pancake was HUGE and THICK! Just as entertaining to watch was listening to your self-deprecating jokes/comments like re-evaluating the choices you've made in your life. LOL! Congratulations on winning this contest.
Eli, I thought you'd fail this one for sure. Simply put, you never cease to amaze me. Just the thought of that much pancake is too much for me to even ponder. Congrats man. The little guy next to you, the faces he was making are priceless. LOL God Bless
Thank you 🙏 This was a true challenge anthwas made even harder by such a long trip. (9 challenges in 9 days is too much for me) The people here made this challenge a lot of fun and I am glad I was able to squeeze out a victory! God Bless 🙏
Tons of love in this video! The little boy, the epic pancake! Love the uncle Buck reference, love peanut butter on my pancakes as well! I know the nap after this challenge was amazing! Lol Great Job!! ❤❤❤
Buddy, that was the biggest single pancake I have ever seen. That was a beast. On day 8 of back to back challenges, I am amazed that you finished it. You’re a beast! Great job! 👍
Well done, Eli. I have to say that's the pancake of my dreams. I would need a gallon or two of Log Cabin syrup. Not a fan of any toppings other than butter and syrup.
@jrs4ex there's no comparison between the real stuff but that is pricy! I just bought some delicious syrups from greatrivermaple.com They have some delicious infused syrup as well and the coffee maple syrup is 🔥
Bro you are going to do good I love the genuine feel your videos have. With a sea of super edited clickbait. It is very refreshing to see your content.
You had a little co-star for this video. Not much of an eater, but he did help you break into the ever popular gaming and fruit preserve based construction markets. Plus he didn’t act up on camera. Good kid. There are two kinds of eaters: those who can take down a pancake challenge and those that can’t. And there’s me, who wants to try one but really needs to go on a diet 😅. I do love pancakes though, so I’m glad I can enjoy watching you eat them vicariously. And looks like we found out that you’re the kind of person who can finish an enormous pancake, on top of all the other challenges you did recently. Great job, because you didn’t pick an easy one! Congratulations on the win!! 🎉
That was more like thick cake than pancake, unreal! The lil boy next to you was super cute, seriously dunno how you did this, well done, oh i would opt for some icecream on top to help get it down.
@dwightherring3686 I wanted syrup but knew this would be a long challenge. Sugar usually hits the bloodstream about 20-25 minutes. Once that happens it gets really tough to concentrate. That's why I limited my syrup.
The one and ONLY perfect pancake??? Easy, it has to have smoked bacon and barbecuesaus on it... In second place comes the pancakes with ansjovis and fish sauce!!! Third: pancake with tripple cheese on it!!! I made a list so you can't forget me. Ever.Keep up the good work NewSantell!!!!
@@EliLessig Sir, tempt me, I'll cook 'm all and you can come over as my guest to try 'em... Willing to bet a TACO you're not eating all of them!!! (well, maybe you are, euro size pancakes... lol.... )
What a pancake! Around where I live, there are some family diners who make “hubcap” pancakes about 16” diameter but none as big as that monster! What an accomplishment!
At first that didn't look bad, not until you pulled that first piece off and saw how thick it is, I thought that's going to take some work. You gotta love places like this! Great people small town! Great job again!
I love the Bucket List Cafe! My regular order is a 1/2 order of the Sloppy Sherryl. I can't even finish a whole order of a regular menu item but it's SO GOOD! Congrats on the win!
This had carbs in it? I told them I wanted the carb free version 😆 Seriously though, it was a lot more than I expected and I am thankful I walked away (very slowly) with the win. Thank you 🙏 and have a blessed week!
Congrats on the win. That Pancake was corn bread thick. As for a filling, My German Grandpa used to put thin slices of apple in pancakes when I was a kid. And serve it with powdered/confectioners sugar. So it was like having a pancake strudel.
Blueberry or strawberry would be good for moisture and flavor. For toppings, I always use peanut butter and syrup. That would not be good for a challenge, though. It makes them so much more filling. Great job! 💜
That was like eating a double 1/4 sheet cake! (9x13" double layer) My favorite pancakes are made with a can of crushed pineapple and 2nd is blueberry pancakes!❤🍽💥
Glad you visited Arkansas. Been following you for a few weeks and you're obviously professional. My small town doesn't have a food challenge yet but probably gonna change!
Insane man , pancake 🥞 challenges are probably the hardest of all food challenges because of how dense and heavy they are . That thing was the size of a sewer lid
WOW, Congratz. Gots to love some John Candy. psst sugar free syrup... topping on pancake, for me was butter and syrup. havn't had a pancake since my maw passed. she would make me thinner with nice crispy butter edges. I don't really like the fluffy ones. Have a blessed week.
The crispy edges are the best. My mamaw made them in a cast iron skillet and there just isn't any comparison. I'll always remember those but doubt I'll ever get to experience it again. Great memories. Have a wonderful week!
When I first saw the pancake I thought this will be easy for Eli but then he showed how thick it is and wow now not sure. LOVE that he does the mom and pops type restaurants! Also Eli is humble and uses no profanity the other eating challengers are the opposite. Keep up good work Eli!
Thank you for those kind words! I truly appreciate it and I am glad you enjoyed the content! This was so big I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to do it either 😆
My thoughts exactly! I was thinking how could only three people do it before him over the last 16 years and then I saw the thickness! LOL!
Hi Eli - 2 people have completed it in 16 years!!! And they have made it bigger since the first person did it. Those that watched you eat it will be talking about this momentous occasion for the next 16 years. Congrats Eli. Thanks for the video
Thank you 🙏 I appreciate that and I think that would be really cool!
That was not a pancake, that was a one layer wedding cake! Great job Eli!
😆😆😆 thanks buddy!
I really like the Uncle Buck reference
One of my favorites!
@@EliLessig heck yeah now I know that we're from the same time era if you know who Uncle Buck is and used to play in the dirt for fun then we're the same kind of people LOL
❤@@brandywilson8933
No one like Chevy chase or John candy @brandywilson8933
I was a cook for 31 years, I use to make what I called a country pancake, I put 1 egg in the middle & added bacon,sausage & ham in the pancake.
That sounds delicious!
At one point, the boy looked at you and thought to himself. "You should have stayed in school". LOL
I was thinking the same thing 😆
and also thought " I had better pay attention in school"
the look on your son's face is priceless! Keep up the good work Eli!
Thank you very much 🙏
I like when you use movie analogies in your challenges Eli. Quite entertaining.
Thank you 🙏 I'm glad you liked it! I love that movie.
Incredible Eli!! That pancake was monstrous.
Thank you 🙏 Biggest I've ever seen!
@@EliLessig TWSS 😁
@@Richarddragon22 😆
Absolutely crazy challenge. I was sad to see this trip end.😂
Me too!
"ELIiiiiiii!!! I love the Uncle Buck reference cause it is my favorite movie! and timeless John Candy comedy!" good job brudda!
Thanks man, uncle Buck is a classic! I love that movie!
I love little places like this. Home cooked type of food and great company. That pancake was a monster!
Another great win, Eli!
Thank you, the whole place smelled of the home cooking. The people were wonderful and it was a great experience!
Give 3 hours and I probably still couldn't finish that monster! Good job Eli!
😆 thank you 🙏
Wow! That was huge! Congrats Eli.
The John Candy edit was great 🤣
Thank you 🙏 I love that movie!
Im impressed its cooked and not burnt
They did a great job with it!
Unbelievable!!!! God bless you young man!!!!
Thank you and God Bless!
Wow!! Congratulations!!🎉
Thank you 🙏
BLUE BERRY pancake are the absolute best!!! Great going!!
Thank you 🙏
All the girl's were clappin' for ya....ya bull stud!😂🤣🤣
😆😆😆
Great win that is one of the thiccest pancakes ive seen cooked without burning it up.
Me too! They were able to make it perfectly!
"you should've seen the toast, we couldn't even get it in through the door!"
🤣🤣🤣 Yes! I think I'm gonna have to watch that again!
Wow! That was amazing! Great job 👏 🎉
Thank you 🙏
Hi Eli!! Congratulations on being the 3rd winner for that challenge! That sure looked good, but it sure was thick. Have a Blessed weekend!😊❤🎉
Thank you Mary! Have a blessed weekend!
@@EliLessig thank you🙂❤️
That was amazing, Eli! That pancake was HUGE and THICK! Just as entertaining to watch was listening to your self-deprecating jokes/comments like re-evaluating the choices you've made in your life. LOL! Congratulations on winning this contest.
😆 thank you very much 🙏
Your son is a cutie. Your truly a beast . Great job. 😊
He is the son of the nice family sitting next to us.
Love the thick accent from the staff!!Congratulations on another win
They were great people! Thank you!

Thank you jennilyn!
Wow!!!!😮 thats a big pancake.
Enjoy ❤❤❤❤ GOD BLESS
Thank you for watching!
That was amazing.I could never even dream of trying to eat something that Massive.
It made for a very tough end of trip challenge!
@EliLessig I'm sure it did, And congratulations
Btw one if my favorite John Candy movies along with Planes,Trains and Automobiles w/ Steve Martin. Have a marvelous week 😊
I loved John Candy! He was one of the greats ❤️
You're still one of my favorite content creators.❤❤❤❤❤❤

Buddy, that was the biggest single pancake I have ever seen. That was a beast. On day 8 of back to back challenges, I am amazed that you finished it. You’re a beast! Great job! 👍
This was the toughest challenge of the trip and of course it had to be at the end! 😆
@@EliLessig Being the last may have contributed to it being the toughest! 😂
Wow that is very impressive! That looked impossible but you pulled it off. Congrats
Thank you, it was a true challenge!
Really impressive!🔥🥞🔥
Thank you 🙏
Your son is adorable and good job on the challenge!!
Thank you very much ❤️ They are a great family!
Yeah!!! You did it. Congrats.
Thank you very much 🙏
Just orange juice and sugar for my topping .That was an epic pancake, Eli.👏👏👏
I've never tried that or heard of it. You sprinkle with sugar and pour on oj instead of syrup?
I bet that's a great flavor combo!
Wow that pancake was huge ! Great job x cannot believe how much food you can eat 😮 x
Thank you 🙏
Great video.❤
The pancake looked heavy to me. Thanks for another awesome video.❤
I'm glad you liked it, it was tough but a lot of fun!
Great job Eli. Way to represent Southern Indiana 🙌
Thank you 💪
When the snow shovel came out to flip the pancake that was great
😆😆😆
Well done, Eli. I have to say that's the pancake of my dreams. I would need a gallon or two of Log Cabin syrup. Not a fan of any toppings other than butter and syrup.
I think it could absorb a gallon of syrup! Thank you 🙏
I thought for sure you met your challenge on this one. Wow, awesome job, eli 💪💯
Thank you 🙏
Great job Eli!
Thank you very much 🙏
$20 for that pancake is a real good price. Here in MA you would get 5 or 6 small silver dollar pancakes for that price.
It would be fun to order and spit for a family
That and they'll charge you $4.99 for an ounce of real maple syrup
@jrs4ex there's no comparison between the real stuff but that is pricy! I just bought some delicious syrups from greatrivermaple.com They have some delicious infused syrup as well and the coffee maple syrup is 🔥
You are a true winner!!!!❤🏆
Thank you 🙏
Very impressive. Great job!

He was a great helper on this challenge! Pancakes are tough but I'm glad to get the win! It is the biggest pancake I have ever seen!
That was more like thick cake than pancake, unreal! The lil boy next to you was super cute, seriously dunno how you did this, well done, oh i would opt for some icecream on top to help get it down.
He was such a big help! Ice cream would have been a fun topping!
That was the most amazing challenge that I've seen you do. Pancakes are very filling...great job once again..
Thank you 🙏 First pancake challenge and it was tough!
@EliLessig I can't believe how thick that pancake was...I don't know how you ate it without more syrup on it....
@dwightherring3686 I wanted syrup but knew this would be a long challenge. Sugar usually hits the bloodstream about 20-25 minutes. Once that happens it gets really tough to concentrate. That's why I limited my syrup.
@EliLessig I didn't know that..still was a challenge that you knocked out of the park...
That is a HUGE pancake, it would've taken me a week to eat that. Congrats on finishing it.
Thank you very much 🙏

Thank you and of those options, I would go with #1, bacon and BBQ sauce. Maybe a little brisket too!
@@EliLessig Sir, tempt me, I'll cook 'm all and you can come over as my guest to try 'em... Willing to bet a TACO you're not eating all of them!!! (well, maybe you are, euro size pancakes... lol.... )

big pancake, it fills one up really face. Cute kiddo.
He helped me stay focused! Glad he was there for me!
What a pancake! Around where I live, there are some family diners who make “hubcap” pancakes about 16” diameter but none as big as that monster! What an accomplishment!
This pancake was no joke!
Your a beast of food,....... WOW great job and it had to get heavier after even an hour post winning. Hats off to you.
Thanks man, I'm glad it was my final challenge because the bloating and sluggishness was next level!
At first that didn't look bad, not until you pulled that first piece off and saw how thick it is, I thought that's going to take some work. You gotta love places like this! Great people small town! Great job again!
Thanks buddy, pictures just doesn't do it justice!
That has to be the thickest pancake I have ever seen.. really good job, Eli 🎉🎉🎉😅
Like a big ol slab of cornbread! I wonder if there are any cornbread challenges 🤔 😆
Awesome you rock😊😊😊
Thank you 🙏 I appreciate it!
Wow, that was a massive challenge 👍🏻👊🏻
It was bigger than I expected 😆
Great job for finishing.
Thank you 🙏
Great job. That looked brutal. Pancakes are the worst.
They're tough!
Unbelievable job!!!
Thank you 🙏
Wow way to go Eli 👏 good job that was a huge ass pancake 🥞 damn.
Thank you Charlotte! It put up a great fight!
@@EliLessig you're welcome 🤗 you won the fight.
Grape jelly is good too! A PB&J pancake is good.
I haven't had that yet but I'm sure I would like it. I did have a cinnamon roll pancake before, and it was delicious (long island cafe video).
I love the Bucket List Cafe! My regular order is a 1/2 order of the Sloppy Sherryl. I can't even finish a whole order of a regular menu item but it's SO GOOD!
Congrats on the win!
Thank you 🙏 It's a nice little restaurant with some tasty food!
I can't believe I ate the whole thing ... Great job
Thank you 🙏
Wow! Great job!
Thank you 🙏
More power to ya! Lol I'm not that much of a pancake fan. Too many carbs for me. Nice going!! Have a blessed week❤
This had carbs in it? I told them I wanted the carb free version 😆 Seriously though, it was a lot more than I expected and I am thankful I walked away (very slowly) with the win. Thank you 🙏 and have a blessed week!
That little guys face says it all!
😆😆😆
You got this Eli!
Thank you 🙏
Up and coming Boss !! beard meats food has nothing on you. I’m calling it out right now. Ultimate food challenge make it happen!!!
Thank you for the shout out and support! I would love to do a challenge with him!
Kids always steal the show..🤣Great job 🤙🤙🏆
😆😆😆 thank you 🙏
Peanut butter and maple syrup. You have a new sub.
Thank you very much! You sir, have great taste! 😆🙏

That sounds so good! I love strudels and that would hit the spot! I bet the whole house smelled great. Thank you and I may have to try that out!
I just found your channel, you rock! Great work!
Thank you very much 🙏 I appreciate the support!
Blueberry or strawberry would be good for moisture and flavor. For toppings, I always use peanut butter and syrup. That would not be good for a challenge, though. It makes them so much more filling. Great job! 💜
Thank you! I truly considered fruit in the pancake for that reason but ultimately decided on plain. Thank you and you have great taste!
Man , that pancake was huge. Pancakes are so heavy to eat yikes. Way to go Eli.
Thank you 🙏
wow nice job.. I love peanut butter on it too
Thank you 🙏 PB is so underrated on pancakes!
GOOD JOB Eli 😋🥞🥞🥞
Thank you 🙏
Congratulations Eli 🎊 😊
Thank you buddy 🙏
That was BRUTAL... !
Very much!
🌼you crushed it Eli 🌼
Thanks, this was a really fun way to end our trip!
❤❤ loved the uncle buck reference
I love that movie!
That was like eating a double 1/4 sheet cake! (9x13" double layer) My favorite pancakes are made with a can of crushed pineapple and 2nd is blueberry pancakes!❤🍽💥
I haven't had a pineapple pancake but it sounds delicious, I imagine it's similar to a pineapple upside down cake?
That's absolutely insane 😮😮
🙌 Thank you for watching 🙏
Fair F**king effort,well done.
Thanks man!
My goodness that is a big pancake!!!!
Biggest I have seen!
Glad you visited Arkansas. Been following you for a few weeks and you're obviously professional. My small town doesn't have a food challenge yet but probably gonna change!

Insane man , pancake 🥞 challenges are probably the hardest of all food challenges because of how dense and heavy they are . That thing was the size of a sewer lid
😆 That's a great comparison! They are a whole different level of difficulty!
Good Job! 😊 It almost looks like corn bread too.. lol
Thank you, it was thick enough to be cornbread!
John Candy 😂😂😂 nicely done !!!
😆 Thank you 🙏 I love that movie!
Happy late birthday Eli! ❤🎉😊

Eli, congratulations, that was yeoman's tough.
Thank you 🙏
Small place good homecooking. I like that
💯
When I saw how thick that was I didn’t think you would do it. Amazing job
Thank you 🙏
That looked impossible, but I knew if it could be done, Eli would take it down. Flavor fatigue no doubt. Gut buster.
Flavor fatigue was crazy! This one had me ready to pay up!
