8 Restaurants In New York Where Your Meal Is Free If You Can Eat It All

Dear all empty-bellied New Yorkers who are aspiring to live the life of a champion worthy of being on the Food Network, we have a special treat for you! We've gotten our hands on an assortment of food challenges that are scattered all across New York state. While we love any good excuse to eat a ridiculous amount of food, these food challenges have the best prize of all... free food! That's right! All 8 of these blissful restaurants offer up food challenges where you have the chance to win your meal for free. Let's check out our options!

1. The Ugly Rooster, Mechanicville

Now is about the time where I locate the nearest time travel machine and run back to the 80s as quickly as I can. Why, you may ask? Because Belinda Carlisle deserves the greatest pat on the back, for she was right, Heaven IS a place on Earth! Hiding away in the small city of Mechanicville you'll find the Colossal Pancake Challenge! These large and in charge pancakes are so huge, they have to be cooked specially in an oven! Wow!

Rules: You have just 20 minutes to finish these 2 twelve-inch pancakes topped with one pound of fruit and scoops of butter and whipped cream!

Prize: You'll rightfully earn your meal for free, receive a shirt and place on the Wall of Fame.

2. Kenka, New York

Rules: You have just a mere 20 minutes to clear off your plate at Kenka!

Prize: Your meal is free.

3. Chick-N-Pizza Works, Cheektowaga

Rules:

Like we said before, in order to tackle this food challenge you'll ned a partner to join you. Another rule? You won't be able to get up from the table for a bathroom break and you'll have one hour to wolf down that pie!

Prize: Both winners of this challenge will receive a $25 dollar gift card and the pizza is free.

4. Elma Towne Grille, Elma

This challenge was built for the most empty of stomachs, the most hungry of bellies. The Big Elm Burger Challenge, if you bravely decide to try it, will serve you one memorable 30-ounce burger. Topped off with all of the essentials, this burger also sits next to a whopping three pounds of fries!

Rules: You have 45 minutes to complete this mighty stack of meat!

Prize: Besides your meal being free, you will also get a free shirt and your picture on the Wall of Fame!

5. J&R's Steak House, Long Island

Rules: You have one hour to wipe your plates completely clean!

Prizes: Alongside your giant meal being free, you'll also get a free shirt and join the Wall of Fame!

6. Brawler's Back-Alley Deli, Buffalo

Ready for the rules and prizes? Not only do you get your meal for free if you finish eating this edible food tower, but you'll also receive a shirt and your name on the Wall of Fame!

7. Swingbellys BBQ, Long Beach

Rules: You and you alone will have one hour or less to devour this meal and you cannot leave the table until you're finished!

Prize: Your entire plate will be free, your picture will be put on the Wall of Fame and you'll walk out in a new, official Porker shirt!

8. The Wagon Trail BBQ, Rotterdam

Rules: Unfortunately, for this mighty challenge you only have a mere 30 minutes to eat all of your goodies.

Prize: Not only will your plate be paid for but you'll also be gifted a shirt and your own parking space for an entire month!

While I would love to ask you which challenge on this list you'd most love to conquer, I'm afraid I probably wouldn't be able to hear your answer over your loud, rumbling stomach! In any case, we'd love to hear which food challenge you're craving the most or if we left one of your favorite challenges off our list! Share your thoughts in the comments below and on our Facebook page!
