Tony Luke's - Philadelphia, PA - Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives on Waymarking.com

From (visit link) :

This week's challenge took place at Tony Luke's, where Richman became the first person to ever attempt Tony Luke's Ultimate Cheesesteak Challenge: a 5-pound cheesesteak made with 3 pounds of beef, 1 pound of American cheese (which Adam chose over the traditional Cheez Whiz), and stuffed inside a 20-inch roll and topped with a 1/2-pound of fried onions. This creation is the rough equivalent of 6 normal-sized cheesesteaks. Adam had to eat the Ultimate Cheesesteak in under one hour to get his picture posted on the Wall of Fame. At Adam's request, Tony himself also took on this challenge (using Cheez Whiz instead of American cheese). The duo started off strong, with Adam devouring 3 pounds in 11 minutes, but later it became a struggle. Tony bowed out of the challenge after consuming two-thirds of his cheesesteak, but Adam kept fighting, finishing his 4th pound at the 19-minute mark. To further help his cause, Adam used hot sauce on the last pound of his cheesesteak, a tactic that served him well as he easily finished the entire challenge at the 28-minute mark. For his victory, Adam received a t-shirt and got his picture posted on the Wall of Fame as the first person to ever successfully complete this challenge.
