Welcome to Greg's Grilling!

This blog is devoted to my passion, my philosophy in life, food. I dedicate my life to reviewing and challenging the food world. Originally I began by reviewing free food provided to us by corporates in the medical world. Free food however was not always so plentiful (recession) so I have branched out to other things, like trying to scull soy sauce or dining in fine resturants, sometimes both. I aim to capture the whole culinary experience-mood, taste, setting, difficulty, presentation and stir fry them together with a packet of watties wok creations to create an alternative food blog. Enjoy.

Challenges

This page is dedicated to food challenges. Either performed by me or by people across the world.If anyone has attempted any challenges and has videoed it, send me a link! I chuck it up on the blog. If you have any ideas for challenges gives a yell, I am more than happy to try new things!



The Cinnamon challenge 

 Well known challenge across the world because it deceives the crap out of everyone. You think pffft, how hard can it be to eat a tablespoon of cinnamon? Well that's what I thought, here is the result.





Yeah so dismal failure, one of the more unpleasant challenges I have tried. Careful if you try this apparentely due to the large amount of coumarin in cinnamon health authorities have warned against trying it, again pffft. If you wnna see a funny video of this go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6gcCnALOvQ&feature=related


The Mcdonalds cheeseburger combo challenge

Also a well known challenge. The aim is to eat a whole cheeseburger combo including the drink in under a minute.  Even tho Mcdonalds can usually be inhaled it is not as easy as it sounds.




So yeah another failure, only just though. Give it a try. Careful tho choking may happen.


The saltine cracker challenge 

Another universal challenge and again very deceiving in difficulty. Quite a mundane challenge compared to the others, I mean your just eating crackers with nothing on them. Here it is anyway.



So yeah another failure, these challenges are proving quite tough! Shit challenge anyway.


The Picnic bar challenge

I'm not really sure where this came from but some friends were saying that there was a challenge to try finish a picnic bar in under a minute. They are so dam chewy I really didn't think this would be possible. Ash and I gave it a go at the airport. 




Wahoo! actually beat a challenge for once! My jaw was sorer than a local at sandwhiches on a saturday night tho!

A soy sauce challenge

I don't even think this is a challenge, but it could be. One night at a byo in wellington we were playing the classic coin game which is essential at all byo's. The game was going well with everyone drinking thier fair share of wine thanks to the devious 10 cent piece, Unfortuately someone placed a coin in the bottle of soy sauce that was right in front of me. Rules are rules, so it had to be drunk. Click on the link below.

Don't even know what to say about this one. It is not good for the guts or the smell of your urine. 

KFC challenge 

Ah didn't know what I was doing here. Trying to set a new standard or something. Don't think it will take off like the Mcdonalds one has. Any ideas for a stock standard KFC challenge that is reproducible would be awesome!




One of the tastier challenges. But yeah really need something that everyone can have a go at. Maybe a snack burger combo in under a minute? A large tub of potato and gravy in under a minute? I dunno i'm just chucking out ideas here.
