Adam is up for the challenge, of course, and he tries to beat the record time of 45 minutes and become the latest person to have his picture added to the "wall of fame". Will he be able to finish the giant pizza in time, or will he fall short in his quest for culinary greatness?

Next, Adam heads to Bear's Smokehouse BBQ, a popular barbecue joint that's known for its mouth-watering meats, including 18-hour smoked brisket and burnt ends. Here, Adam takes on the Triple D Challenge, which involves devouring a giant sandwich stuffed with smoked brisket, pulled pork, burnt ends, mac and cheese, and slaw, in under 45 minutes. With his stomach still full from the pizza challenge, will Adam be able to complete the grueling sandwich challenge, or will this be one food battle too far?

As if these challenges weren't tough enough, Adam then heads to the Plan B Burger Bar, to take on the Stuffed Challenge. This challenge involves eating four huge, stuffed burgers, each one filled with a different variety of cheese and bacon. To make things even more challenging, he also has to eat a side of served onion strings and a milkshake in under 20 minutes. With his stomach already full to bursting, will Adam be able to finish the challenge, or will he be forced to throw in the towel?

Finally, Adam heads to a local bakery to take on the gigantic "Elvis" cupcake challenge. This challenge involves eating a three-pound cupcake named after the legendary singer that's packed with peanut butter, banana cream, and bacon bits. This is one sweet and savory challenge that Adam can't resist, but with his stomach close to exploding, will he be able to finish the massive cupcake, or will he finally meet his match?
