THE 12LB E-NOM-OUS PHO CHALLENGE | TEXAS EP.3 | BeardMeatsFood

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ก.ย. 2024
- Today we're visiting Nom Nom Noodles in Houston, TX to take on their 'E-NOM-OUS Pho Challenge'...
This thing costs $40 and consists of 2lb of beef, 2lb of noodles and a gallon of broth, making it an eye watering 12lb in total; which explains why it hasn't been done since early 2020!
If you can finish inside one hour, you get a $50 gift card, a spot on their wall of fame and a very spiffy winner's t-shirt! If not, it's the eternal disgrace of a spot on their wall of shame...
**NEW VIDEOS EVERY THURSDAY AND SUNDAY AT 7PM UK TIME**

#FoodChallenge #Texas #Pho
Greetings folks! Today it’s the third instalment from my trip to Texas and a massive phoking bowl of noodles! I hope it brings you a brief moment of levity and as always, thanks a million for tuning in…
I’ll be back again this Sunday at 7pm UK time where I accidentally crash a complete stranger’s birthday party…
‘Til then, stay insatiable!
*This series was filmed between April 17th and May 8th.
Evening mate 👍
You are a Phoking legend!!!...love your vids dude!!
@@stussyhuff evening 👌🏻
@@rpierrelouis86 thanks mate
That bowl was bigger than you! 💪! You made that ladies day, she had the biggest smile! Great job! Loving the series!
Absolutely endearing how happy the waitress was :). She sounds like a very kind person
Most supportive person I've seen in a challenge yet!
@@harshadagashe Yes, that's why we watch others do it because it's very entertaining 😄
Absolutely
@@harshadagashe think you might be in the wrong place kiddo 😆
@@harshadagashe Just a guess here, but I think he quite enjoys it.
Obviously I could be wrong, it has been known.
I have no idea why TH-cam recommended your channel to me, but I've now been watching you eat food for the last 3 hours. This is addictive.
Get a life. Have some dignity/self-respect'
@@VinceAN2010 Says somebody reading through people's TH-cam comments.
@@jatin006 And what are u doing hypocrite. Sad & pathetic at best.
Really?!?
bro that just happened to me
She was so supportive. I love her.
You are a crazy guy
@@jeffjohnson5053 I love her.
Probably one of the friendliest encounters you have had during a food challenge! Love to see it
I live here!!!!!
Me too. Very close by
@@mosesross6836 Me too I live down the street.
I love how shocked the guy at the end was. It's almost like when he went back into the kitchen he was expecting another person or 2 to join Beard.
@@markburnsworth3591 It's not for free though. They just got free advertising in front of 700k+ people. Pays for itself.
@@devinlevitt6953 im just speaking of the reaction, i understand advertising. Not saying im right...but i know that reaction since im in sales and marketing
@@markburnsworth3591 They said it was a 50$ food voucher but the food wasn't free. And since he will never be back there most likely, that voucher will go to waste.
I swear they have more complete idiots per capita
Little did he know Beard was chowing down on an egg roll after that too lol
"You finished THAT??? Just NOW???" He walks away without another word, like a boss.
He actually says "wait, I've never seen that"
Or maybe like a sore loser he didn’t want to give him a shirt
@@jchneiw He acted like he cheated, so disgraceful
He was so shocked by the truth, mind blown when someone finished in less than 20 minutes.
@@ABOLLLLA I thought he was stunned/shocked, because Beard looked small.
I'm sure this employee has tried this challenge many times and couldn't finish it.
It's always nice when the staff cheer you on and want you to win; it shows they take some pride in a good challenge.
100!
Beard: “I don’t think you have to finish the broth”. Does it anyway and still has room for dessert. What a LEGEND!
Can’t be wasting food now can we 😆
@@Beardmeatsfood I would have wasted all that Pho in the bushes outside after finishing half of it
Lets be real now, Pho is the broth, everything else is secondary
@@Beardmeatsfood So pleased they furnished you with your favourite dessert, even if it was disguised. 😆
That lady was so wholesome. Its weird that sometimes it seems like the staff/owners dont want you to win or are totally uninterested
i agree, and i dont see why owners offer a challenge if they completely dont care about it or hope you lose.
which is stupid, since they're getting very cheap promotion for their restaurant. and also to entice other customers to try the challenge - who will ALL fail.
Owners don't want you to win because it costs them money if you do.
@@Enclave. not this one. The meal wasn't free if he won, they still got $50 from him. They gave him a giftcard to come back which I'm sure went unused.
@@Enclave. Nobody is forcing them to add "challenges" to their menu, it is a very uncommon thing for a restaurant.
Everyone should be excited when you finish a challenge. That’s hard work.
It’s harder when you try to go in and do a challenge your self. It’s unbelievable how much food he can eat.
hard wok surely
I can never understand why not drink some of the cold water/drink if you get a bit heated? Glad to see you get your tee shirt!! Good job and on to the next challenge!!!! (BTW, I'm sure some of us wouldn't mind you taking off the heavy sweatshirt(jumper) if you had an undershirt on.)
@@jenninet6382 cold drinks actually make the stomach constrict so when you are doing alot of eating it can shrink your stomach a bit which adds more discomfort lol he had alot of liquid with the soup and with the amount of heat that pho had, I doubt the water would have done much but just add liquid.
@@mathewschwab3534 have you seen where they put cold water/ice cubes into the Pho? He could have tried to cool his fingers off with the water too. I respect your response and point of view. Thanks
The lady cheering you on really made me so happy, what a sweetheart.
Hi cutie 💓. Your so human and beautiful. Nice composition.
I hope in 20 years you go back to that place just like she said and she is still there and you do it again. She was so nice and really made the video for me
I love how excited that woman was for you. Everyone there was like wow he's actually doing it yay! Go! Cheering you on and stuff. Love that energy.
"Do you have a dessert menu?", that one always cracks me up. Have you ever thought of doing a German food challenge?
sure i love bierhaus food....would love to find one...there used to be one in london but no longer
Do a dessert challenge and then have a steak at the end?
@@Beardmeatsfood You're always welcome in Germany ;-)
An endless amount of Rouladen and Spätzle....oh that sounds amazing right now.
@@geirbalderson9697 🤣
still not sure why I am so obsessed with watching these. Not something I would tell people. But man just something about watching someone gorge that much, then ask for desert. love it
It is the man's personality, not just the talent. Very enjoyable to watch the videos.
I love how happy she is! I feel like the owners getting excited with the challenge is always the best vibe.
The “Woohoo!!!” at the end was so adorable!! Not meant to be a spoiler, but this challenge was one of a very few I would try, and with the enthusiasm of the staff, might even succeed! Way to go!
If you have seen this guy before, this ain't a spoiler. It's par for the course!
Never read comments before watching :/
Spoiler? It would be odd to not see him finish at this point lol
You are all correct 😂!
That waitress was the cutest lady ever. Her excitement for you was the best thing ever.
She really was, but the waitress in the Kentucky video is up there too.
Bang on!
Let’s get this t-shirt
Edit: The waitress is amazing love her energy
I really didn't think he would finish that 12 lb pho. But, he did it in just 20 minutes. What a champ!
I would not even be able to drink that much broth, even without anything in it lmao
that's the amount I would eat in a whole day and this man does it in 20 minutes
The tee-shirts The Beard has accumulated from dominating challenges has to be legendary.
PHO-KIN amazing as always!
My favorite comment
I saw what you did there. I tell my wife all the time if I get rich we'll open a pho restaurant / billards hall and call it... PHO / CUE. 😁
@@imaramblins you could also go the route of pho and barbecue and call it pho / cue as well!
@@GeekyDad84 Good point.
Pho sure
I remember doing something like this along time ago. I finished it, even though I probably shouldn’t have. But the best part was driving home and hitting the brakes on the car and hearing the broth actually sloshing inside my stomach. Ha ha
hahaha my man
gotta drive slow
lolol. That sounds so gross yet funny at the same time. Congrats man.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Her reaction is the best. So stoked.
this actually made me smile, i love how excited the lady was bless her
I'm at a loss for words on this one! I literally ALWAYS believe you can complete the challenges (even when you're unsure), but not gonna lie -- this one gave me doubts at first glance. 12 pounds of food is no damn joke. You're seriously amazing 🥰 🍲
This one was the first to make me think "alright.. what the fuck?". Like.. 80% of it is non-condesable liquid. How do you even fit that in a human.
@@ori-yorudanhe has a toilet seat underneath his chair
I shit 12 pounds of shit once. It wasn't easy
@@koonyeezy6433human centipede
8:32
"Ah, it's a cheesecake in an egg roll." LMAO
that part made me laugh
“Power Gravy” that’s a energy drink I could get behind. Bit of a gut buster with all that fluid well done another win for the beard. 👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺
I’ll chip in. Tell me when we have a Kickstarter going
thank you :)
I audibly laughed at power gravy. good one.
He's on to something here... Better jump on it before nestle does.
"Bit of a gut buster..."?!!!!!! The man just ate 4 lbs of noodles and beef and topped it off with 8 lbs of broth!!! From the weight alone I'm starting to feel uncomfortable and sick. Dudes a full on pro.
That cheese cake in an eggroll is genius
I'm teaching myself to make that, on payday!!!
I know! Mind blown. I’m glad I watched to the end
In America anything can be a dessert.
I've had ice cream/sorbet in an eggroll before, pretty fire
I really wanna try it.
That's a true asian woman. They love it when someone finish the entire plate/bowl of their food!
1:20 had me dying 😂😂 I went back and rewatched her questioning about 10 times!
I swear Lmfaoo how did she not know from the first question lmaoo
She must’ve forgotten about it 😂
I thought it was cuz he said foh instead of fuh I had no idea what he was talking about either.
I see a giant bowl of soup and I click to watch. Impressive!
I grew up on Tex-Mex and burgers, but when I finally branched out, pho was a mindblower. Every place I've had has been delicious and friendly just like this place.
Great job! My kids (6 and 8 year old) favourite part of the week watching your videos!
Thanks Sharon, tell em I said hi 👋
@@Beardmeatsfood they are so happy they got a reply from ‘a world famous superstar’!
@@sharonwright7350 I would be too!
As a Vietnamese
So happy to see Mr.Beard enjoy our crusine.
Love it
Man, everyone loves Vietnamese food. Its top notch.
@@lifeaquatic1267 you should stay in Vietnam to eat original tastes
7:30 Imagine walking into a restaurant and this is what you see 😂.
I would be like “okay, they have good food!”
It's somewhat charming how shamelessly he just gets at it but I have to say walking in on this man I would be shook LOL
I love the owners enthusiasm!
I live nearby and come to the place about once a week. Can confirm the staff are super sweet and the food is incredible!
The lady was so excited and it was so refreshing to hear her happy laughter 💗! Congratulations on your win ! 😊👍💕💕💕
Yes I was happy to meet him hehe :)
6:41 absolute beard moment, the surprise in his eyes when he sees the desert menu. 😁
hahaha i am what i am
The fact that he ate the whole thing with a spoon makes it even better.
You need to make a shirt advertising Beard's Power Gravy! All the salt, twice the energy!
I think you’ve nailed the slogan there 😂😂😂
With a free discount coupon to the cardiologist of your choice.
8:32 "I'm sure I asked for cheesecake, these appear to be egg rolls". Don't know why but that cracked me up! 🤣🤣🤣
This one was actually hard to watch 😂 I may never eat PHO again 😂! Love your videos bruv, tell Mrs. Beard hello from Colorado.
That is definitely a sweet t-shirt!! Congrats on the win Beard 👏
Thanks mate
Woah, never seen a cheesecake egg roll before :o
Definitely about to try and make my own
They are actually cheesecake chimichangas, not egg rolls.
There's a fast food place called Del Taco, very popular in the Western States, that does caramel cheese cake rolls like that, they are so fricking good!
@@Angelwolfs9 Wrong, a Chimichanga is a fried burrito with a flour wrapping, this is a much thinner wheat flour wrapping. So you are just wrong. Enjoy your day. Also go look it up don't argue. Don't deny obvious facts just look it up for yourself so you don't get fact and opinion confused. Have a good one Bo.
@@kyin45Since my last reply apparently got deleted
Nom Nom Noodles
Chimi. Mini Rasp Cheesecake
Creamy cheesecake filing with raspberry jam, rolled in flour tortillas and fried crispy.
Even a simple online search would show you, NOBODY uses a "wheat wrapping" because it doesn't insulate the cheescake filling Einstein!
The production value and overall everything to your show is very endearing and addictive. Love it and can't recommend it enough to anyone who'll listen lol
You're content is so enjoyable. Thanks for being you :) I appreciate the entertainment.
Thanks caroline 🤗
Congrats beard! Pho is my favorite soup ever... it's "coma" food! eat this on a wintery day and i can sleep for a week! love it!
i was already impressed but that lady at the end was so excited it just filled my hear right up. what a delight!
8:27, "wait you finished THAT?!". It's Mr. Beard of course he finished THAT, and wayyyy under the 1 hour time limit. Can't wait to see how swollen up you get from the salt!
Oh my gosh, that lady was so cute! I don’t know how you can physically get all that soup in your belly, but you managed it. Great job! Sweaters in Texas in June is never a good idea. You must’ve been roasting!
Thank you so much :) !
Sept 2023 TH-cam randomly recommended one of your videos. I've made it this far back already. I'm not sure what that says about me as a person.
I laughed with that “what do you mean with ‘do the pho challenge’? “ and then she just asks to do the challenge
It just took her a moment to process the accent, clearly English was not her first language
@@justine8387she repeated what he said right back to him, so she understood. And she herself barely has an accent so even if it's not her first language she speaks and understands it fine
@@oftheHowl yeap. She just seems a bit slow or out of it (old people..)
Well, on menu it is technically termed the 'E-Nom-Mous Challenge'
Maybe she was just in disbelief...
I love the genuine excitement from the employee. So wholesome.
Yeah I was happy to serve him I'm the waitress :)
Amazing!! So satisfied to see him finished that entire bowl! Great job 👏👍
That little gal got so excited - How fun was that?! “Power Gravy” - think you’re on to something Beard! Hop onto a patent right away.
Cheesecake Eggrolls - sounds amazing! Well done 👍
Oh Adam that was awesome!!! The funny part "you finished that just now... I've never seen that done" 😂😂😂😂 keep nailing Texas challenges.
thanks ryan
@@Beardmeatsfood you're mighty welcome Adam
Can't believe you finished that behemoth bowl of Pho-king Pho!
I just discovered your channel recently and am hooked. I have no idea how you are able to do some of the challenges cause they seem impossible but you somehow crush them. Plus, you seem like a very down to earth individual. I look forward to seeing what new challenges await you. Keep up the great content. 😎
thanks joel
"So salty, my calves will be the size of my upper legs tomorrow" Grabs hoisin sauce - "Do I put a lot of this in?" Oh, laddie - 2 tablespoons of hoisin is 50% RDA of sodium... Lol
One thing I learned from watching Raina Huang, she takes the noodles out and puts them in a separate bowl so they can cool down and then finishes the broth at the end. Good idea!
It does help. I did do that once but it actually made the type of noodles I had even worse. For pho noodles it’s fine but for the noodles I had in a ramen challenge they were oily and disgusting. They expanded and were so gross jus after a few bites
i'd rather just eat it bud
00:08
Listening while I clean, and I hear beard start taking what I thought was a monster bong rip 😂
Savory energy drink indeed. That's exactly what Pho broth is. ONe of my favorite foods!
Worth it for that cool T-shirt! Surely you've got to wear it for a future challenge somewhere, eh Beard?
I never wear them, they’re almost always xl 😆
@@Beardmeatsfood eat a sandwich. get some fat on them bones!
@@KCML82 Eat a sandwich? He just ate a lake! 😉
Damn beard you’re walking around Houston like 6% of your body weight being pho 😂😂😂😂 love it!!!!!!
Of all Houston challenges that ive watched on your channel, this one is the most challenging looking
Her level of excitement is the level of excitement everytime I watch a video and you win lol. What you do isn't easy so the fact you walk in tackle these challenges is awesome and you deserve the round of applause and excitement. As always I love the content! Can't wait for the next video and the next podcast episode 😁
As a Houston native, it's great seeing you indulge in one of our favorite foods. The Vietnamese community (along with their food) have brought so much to our city. But being in a jumper in April/May and eating 10lbs of steaming hot pho is not a good idea. Makes for great content though, so keep it up
thank you :)
What’s the hostility like with the Vietnamese people after the Vietnam war where you invaded their land?
@@Gblonkers Taiwan is a real country. Taiwan is #1 !
@@Gblonkers None. The community is thriving here and the people are wonderful and warm. They freely share their culture with us and are some of the most wholesome and wonderful people I've met. Shrewd in business, big-family, wonderful people. Tbf, most are from the south that are here, I believe.
@@Gblonkers Compared to the Chine supported communism and what happened after the war when the CCP came to collect on their investment?
The waitress getting that excited just makes this better
Her being excited for you, got me smiling ear to ear!
Good video!
thank you :)
12lbs of food and THEN dessert. You are a BEAST!!!
That lady was an awesome part of this video! :D
You know Adam is British (though the Irish do it too). "Hmm. I asked for cheese cake and they gave me spring rolls. Oh well; say nothing. Just eat them".
It's Adam, He's going to eat it anyway cause never says no to a challenge lol
But then finds out it's actually cheesecake in eggrolls! That's genius I'ma have to try making that......
Finally! Something other than British breakfasts and American style food. I love it!
YOU ARE A BEAST!!!!!!CONGRATS🎉🎊I HOPE THE MRS. IS WELL🤗I ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS YOUR SO POLITE &COURTEOUS TO EVERYONE YOU ENCOUNTER ITS SO REFRESHING TO WATCH PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY APPRECIATE FANS COMING UP TO THEM AND ASKING FOR PICTURES!!!!!I AM WITH THE MRS.I LOVE LOVE BREAD IT HAS TO BE GOOD BREAD NICE BAKED BREAD &I LOVE DIPPING MY BREAD INTO THINGS LOL GREAT VIDEO🙏✌💥🤗🎊🎉🤭💕
The perfect video today as I just picked up pho for lunch!
Enjoy!
I just love when Beard asks for dessert at the end 😂
Not being critical, just informative - and I'm not Viet Namese, but I love their food: If you ever order a regular size bowl of Pho, it will still be large at most places. Pho is a soup that you customize with additions, like Thai basil, bean sprouts, chilis (usually in Houston it will be Jalapenos) cilantro, and srichia hot sauce. And yes, it arrives hot - really hot. A good pho bo (beef pho) probably got simmering last night. Lots of beef bones and shanks go into the simmer. It's an extremely rich broth.
Thank you for giving us the definition of PHO. Lol
Shout out to that waitress she was a gem! Well done Beard!
Such nice people! Congratulations on finishing that huge bowl- I'm happy pho you!😀 As always many blessings to you and your lovely Mrs.Beard 🌺
thanks gina
Wow, well done Mr. Beard. I love your personality, you're so chipper and kind. You make me laugh a lot, thank you!
8 an half thousand views in twelve minutes? Your smashing it lad.
Awesome job. Oh, and I have definitely watched too many of your videos. I sat in my van eating a 'breakfast in a box' 2 days ago.... I ate it with my hands. Eating a fried egg with your bare hands is strangely liberating 😅
One of my top favorite epis! Shout out 2 H-Town! I love how excited the lady was also... Thanks again Beard, Love Thermos
One day we will get BeardMeatsFood branded tea towels and then no need for napkins. Great video as always
I'm not sure that's a win, you had a pint of broth down your sweatshirt! 😁😁
Another great video. 👏👏👏❤️
It might have been sweat.
thank you :)
Official petition to rename pho broth 'Power Gravy' after this!
That lady was awesome I thought from the beggining interaction she was gonna be a karen but she ended up being so wholesome after that
"What do you mean 'do the pho challenge'?"
"So you wanna do the challenge?"
She knew exactly what he meant.
Whatever this interaction is it seems to happen to me constantly and it’s awful.
Legend says he peed for 42 minutes straight afterwards ! 🤣🤣
Mate this must have been difficult in that heat nevermind in general! Also love your videos so much, literally makes my day better instantly
thanks jodie
This has to be the most impressive I've seen - solid food can break down, but water doesn't compress, so that all had to physically fit inside your stomach. Unless you sweated half of it out while eating, I guess, which I can't rule out.
oh; so the sweater was a strategic choice after all XD!
i mean, you're right that it doesn't compress, but it's easier to actually swallow than solids...so there's that
Haha the lady was so cool, must make it so much more fun when you have people like that around.
Love this Adam. Brilliant video mate. Can’t wait for the rest of your trip videos.
thanks rich
That was so precious when they celebrated your win!! 🥇
That waitress was enjoying watching you eat mate!!! 😂
That was awesome to see how genuinely happy she was to see you do the challenge 💪🏻
Thank you :)
I can't believe you pho-king did it Adam! 😜
hehehe
