I hope folks are eating this just for an absurd challenge instead of eating it for actual flavor. I've read reviews that the pho is pretty sub-par there anyway. Then again, it'd be too easy if it was actually good.

I had 2 friends try it one night, one failed and the other one finished. It is one damn big bowl of pho. They said it tasted ok at the beginning, but as it sits there everything just gets mushy, cold, and nasty.





Two random people trying the challenge that night

yah 2 is no problem, dunno about 3 though lol

I eat a lot (once ate a whole costco pizza in one sitting) but damn that bowl is huge, looks like the size of my wheels lol

anybody try that super duper burrito at one of those restaurants in SJ? I don't remember the name but it was on the travel channel awhile back. It's like 8-10 lbs, and uses 5 tortillas to wrap the burrito in lol

That dude from blacktrax had good technique. Keep the noodles from soaking up the broth with your spoon while eating the noodles. Smart man.

Dude, if you can finish off a Costco pizza, you can definitely be a pho champion, lol. I can't eat much pizza, maybe 3-4 slices max from Costco but I can eat hella noodles.
