No Freakin' Way! 8+ Pound Cincinnati Chili Challenge
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 янв 2025
- I am at Blue Ash Chili in Blue Ash, OH to take on their No Freakin' Way Challenge. This is an 8+ pound Cincinnati style chili that has around 2.5 pounds of spaghetti, 2.5 pounds of chili, 2 pounds of cheddar cheese, and 1 pound of fried jalepeno caps. If I can clean my plate in 60 minutes, I'll get the meal free, get a free t-shirt and be added to the Facebook Hall of Fame. Fail to finish within 60 minutes, I'll be added to the Wall of Shame and owe 39.99. They said only about 8 people have finished this challenge so the odds are against me. Thank you to Blue Ash Chili for setting up the challenge and thank you to everyone there that showed support throughout the challenge.

Nice one! I loved this challenge
Yes sir! You made this one look easy!
You have the “PERFECT” videos !!
YOU EAT !!! Other competitive eaters talk all the way through their videos and I think it’s a waste of time. So thank you for for being a competitive eater in the true means.
I truly appreciate that! Ibdobtry to make the videos enjoyable. Thank you for the support!
Mas ele não engole cada colherada, ele leva o macarrão a boca e deixa cair a metade, deveria engolir na primeira, concerteza terminaria ainda mais rápido.
I never had any doubts you would finish, and you finished that fast. Keep it up. Amazing job! 💪
I appreciate that buddy!
No idea why, but this took me back to when in downtown of my hometown we had a Skyline Chili location. I miss being able to go there occasionally, primarily in the autumn, and get a plate of their 5-way chili. *😔*
Amber loves Skyline and they recently closed the one near our house.
@@EliLessig Yeah, ours in Lansing, MI closed quite a few, years maybe even a decade ago now.
Excellent job Eli!!! your videos are always a joy to watch, you are always so humble about your victories, you are a true gentleman of the competitive eating world! Keep up the good work, I look Forword to your next challenge
Thanks Chris! I appreciate the awesome compliment, I love what I do and genuinely appreciate every moment of it.
Congratulations
@@latanyastovall7810 thank you very much.
Great job as always! Huge mountain of cheese on the plate!
Thanks buddy, so much cheese!
Being born in Cincy, I have a love for that chili, Skyline, Cincy, or Bluse Ash. I learned the receipe so can make my own when I have the craving. Coney dogs and 3-ways soooo goid❤
You and Amber could be besties. I saw where skyline is doing nachos now. Wonder if that would be good.
@@EliLessig I am from College Hill, grandparent lived in Delhi
@@cathleenloveysmom4382 skyline is my fave I think. I am also from Cincinnati 🎉🎉
I love the no talking, however adding the narration when needed is perfect.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video 🙌 Thank you for watching 🙏
Love it! I haven’t had Blue Ash, I love Skyline
Skyline is definitely a classic! Amber loves it too
Dude you are truly a beast!I got into watching these challenges because of Beard and now I dig your videos as well...no slurping or lip smacking you guys make the food look amazing!
Much appreciated! Thank you for the support 🙏
Wow that was a lot of pasta/cheese/jalapenos/chili. Grats on another win! I saw Mrs. Lessig handing out cards back there. 😁
This kind of chili is her favorite! She wouldn't let me do this challenge without her being there. This style of chili is nearly 1/3 cheese, noodles, sauce!
That looks like a great combination!!😮 I❤ watching other people's expressions watching you!!!😂 🤣 🤣😊 Can you even taste those jalapenos?? 😂 😮 Congratulations Eli! Also thanx for another great video!!😊
It was a very fun place, much more cheese than I would put on my chili but wow it was great!
Excellent. I would have been finished with fried jalapeños. Great job. You’re a monster❣️
Thank you, the jalapeños started out ok but definitely built up towards the end!
Way to go Eli! You made that a 8 pound chill challenge almost too easy. Well done!!😀👍
Thank you, this was a nice challenge and I wanted to knock this one off my bucket list.
The Turkey BLT double decker and cheese fries and gravy are awesome at Blue Ash Chili as well.
Sounds delicious!
I've had a chili craving, this looks amazing
This is the one for you! Plenty of cheese too!
The "No Freakin' Way!" challenge has now become the "Yes Freakin' Way!" challenge. Very cool Eli!
😆 I love it! Thank you 🙏
Congrats 🎊! This one worried me-spaghetti just wasn’t ending! seems people like or do NOT like the chili-a little sweet or something-I know I wouldn’t dig the jalapeño things😂
I liked them for the first few bites then after 1 pound of them it got a little rough!🤣
They add cinnamon into this recipe
And the chili is runny, it’s not what you would find in Texas.
@@Clvrgrl I call it pumpkin spice chili. 🤣 It's flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
Huuuuuge! Good job. Watching from Ontario Canada 🎉
Thanks Sean, this was by far the most chili I've had at one time.
Dang that was massive! Great video thanks so much for sharing!
It sure was! I am glad you enjoy the videos and love hearing from you. Have a blessed weekend!
🏴👏 pretty impressed buddy. Great job 👏🏴
Thanks man, this was a LOT of cheese!
Wow great job 👍🇨🇦👏😎 not sure it's something I would eat so much cheese and jalapeno 🤤🇨🇦
Lol, I call it pumpkin spice chili. Amber loves it but I prefer regular chili. Cincinnati style is sweeter and flavored with cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg.
Congratulations👏👏👏👏👏 I also watched Joel complete the same challenge. I don't recall who had the fastest time. The lady gave you a helpful tip when she suggested you use a spoon towards the very end. Honestly, I don't know where you guys put all that foooood!!! My stomach is hurting a bit from a double bacon cheeseburger. Plus onion rings and a milkshake. Was too much for me. Oh, I had a few cookies and water. Anyway, I couldn't take it. Evidently my stomach is still digesting that meal. I could never hold much food. So, the meal I described was me pigging out! Not the norm. Cause, my stomach hurts a bit.
Anyway, enjoyed watching you. Again, I don't know where you guys put all that food.
Blessings.
Thank you for the support! I don't know his time but I am sure it was fast. Some foods (especially fries foods) don't agree with me very well either. I don't eat like this daily, typically little to no food the day before and after the challenge.
Well done, Eli! Amazing capasity you got there 🙂
Thank you very much, lots of cheese!
Took it down like a BOSS! Just subscribed.....
Thank you and thank you for the support! I appreciate it and hope you enjoy the channel!
I swear I believe these restaurants are getting ridiculous with that challenge
Quite possibly!
Then don't take it that simple 😂
They have to try to make it difficult so they don’t lose out on 40 dollars
Congratulations on another flawless victory! I gotta say, I might be in the minority, but, I missed the commentary. Thanks again for another great video! Oh and props on having the cleanest drink ever after 8lbs of food!
I thought about that as well, this video was a little older and I didn't do it. I thought about redoing it but decided against it.
Eli- thoroughly enjoying my holiday video binge…thank you. Best to you and your family today and beyond.
Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed the videos! I hope you have a wonderful week and a very happy New Year!
Lord that's alot of cheese. I'd need a laxative after that 😂😂😂😂
After 2lbs it doesn't want to go anywhere! 🤣
@@EliLessig 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great job Eli 👍🏻 🤠
Thank man, I appreciate it!
Dang! You killed it! Let's get your name out there!
I hope so! Big things are happening, thank you for the support!
That’s a lot of cheese and jalapeños 😮. Good job 👏
So many jalapeños! They start out nice then quickly get mean. Lol
Way to go!! Nice and clean too.
Thanks buddy! Its not easy to eat this neatly.
You made it look delicious, as I'm sure it went down easy being so cheesy, but at the same time, amazing job as my stomach is bubblin' imagining eating all that chili [=
This is like pineapple on pizza, you either love Cincinnati style chili or you hate it. The chili itself has no heat but the jalapeño caps did. Amber loves it. Thanks for watching!
that was fantastic Eli well done great time too xxx
Thank you 🙏
Could they have made the dish any dryer than that😳😳😳😳 Is it my imagination, but when I saw some others do this challenge, like Molly Schuyler, Brandon Clark, amongst others, they had a wetter red pasta sauce on it?? Lord have MERCY! CONGRATULATIONS Eli!🥇🤜💥🤛💪
Edited: Also is it my imagination that the overall food portion is bigger, AND there are a whole lot more meat balls than previously before for this challenge? It just seems like a lot of places (not accusing this place) are making the challenges near impossible by making the portions absolutely ridiculous.
I'm not sure but I doubt that it is very consistent. They probably don't weight out items and make it so little that every person will get the exact same amount.
Awesome job great work keep it up much respect stay safe and blessed have a great day 😊
Thank you very much, have a great day!
@@EliLessig I will try
I’m from Cincinnati and I love 3 ways with Franks Hot Sauce 😋👏❤️
I grew up on Frank's hot sauce, we put that on everything!
@@EliLessig me too and now my son loves it too. 😋👏❤️
Way to push through those jalapeños! Wow!
👏👏
Thank you Sandi! There was quite a bit of those!
Nice to see you doing well!!!
Thank you! I appreciate the support!
I'll be in Cincy in a couple weeks to visit the folks.
There are a few really good challenges in the area if you are looking!
@@EliLessig I'll get 1 or 2 chili cheese sandwiches and a 4 Way onion. I went to high school in the area when Gold Star had 25-cent conies on Wed. 🙂 I got 4 or 5. A friend always got 10.
That's incredible , to eat that much spaghetti in less than 20 minutes , You Da Man ! ... When I was 23 I could easily eat 5 helpings of Spaghetti , but at 65 with health challenges I can only do 2 helpings but the heartburn is really painful . lol
The amount of cheese on this one was wild!
Another great challenge my friend!! I tell you Eli you wasted no time diving in strong. You're already have way threw at 5:45 so take your time buddy so that you don't get stuffed so fast. Massive amount of cheese. I hope you pooped afterwards!! I wished we had. Places here in Muncie with huge amounts of food so that I can come meet you. And also enjoy the challenge live. But I would also watch it on RUclips so you'd get the view.
Thank you very much! This was a fun challenge and I'll start posting more about where I'll be in future challenges. There are a few up that way I haven't done. If you go be sure to come say hi!
I don’t know where you put all that food but great job! You are incredible!
Thanks buddy! Hope you're doing better and things work out. I hope each new day is better than the previous one.
I’m doing ok. I’m taking it one day at a time
Amazing you go 🎉
Thank yoi very much!
Awesome job as always Eli!!! Keep up the awesome work 😁
Thank you very much!
Great job Eli! Happy to see you posting your own videos sans that disposable guy! Good job!
Thank you, I do love doing collaboration videos as well though.
@@EliLessig, understood. Collaborate with those who are passionate and compassionate. Collaborate with those will help you! Great job!!!

Don’t waste your time with a silly chicken farmer. You, sir, will develop a huge following. You, Sir, are being held down. I like Brandon, but, Brandon is a silly jerk.
Please stretch out and do your thing!!!
Looked delicious. Great win eli
Thanks Neil, this was a good one!
Awesome video, just commenting to boost for the algorithm :O. Keep it up!
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
Man I just found your channel and have been introduced to it and you are one of my favorites! Awesome job keep up the great content
Thank you so much! I really appreciate comments like this. My earlier videos are less than stellar but I am always trying to improve the content. Thank you for the support!
@@EliLessig brother just keep doing what you're doing because it is great content
People sure do seem to feel free to stand close and stare/comment. Just watched Wicked Wolf challenge. New subscriber, Notorious B.O.B. brought me to your channel.
Thank you for the support! I appreciate it greatly!
Oh my in the fancy upscale part of town.
They love their cheese on chili!
Man you dominated that challenge great job eli
Thanks Joseph, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great job 👏👍
Thank you very much!
I love a Cincinnati style chili but wow thats a lot
thats a lot of cheese too
Good job and good time
Thanks Triple B! Yeah this had so much cheese and jalapeños.
Man this reminds of that episode of courage the cowardly dog making the mac& cheese for Muriel. Great episode and Great challenge completed. 👏🏾👏🏾
🙌 thank you 🙏
That chili is so weird tasting to me. I can’t do the cinnamon or nutmeg in it. Well done!
My wife loves it. I call it pumpkin spice chili! Thanks for watching!
I just found your vids from Louisville. I live in louisville, so I support local talent 👏 Keep at it buddy, I'll just watch-
Thanks for the support! It means a lot!
Your amazing eli, im stuffed just watching you..
😆 thank you very much 🙏 This was a ton of cheese!
Great job man! Dang that was big! That's what she said!!😂
Lol, thank you!
Wow I don’t know how you can do this but congrats that’s a lot of food 😊
Thank you Mary, this was definitely the biggest plate of chili that I've ever had.
Wow!! This was impressive 😮!! I kinda wanted to see a before and after side profile of your stomach. That had to feel so uncomfortable afterwards.
Lol, thank you! This had a lot more cheese and jalapeños than I would prefer.
I am wondering about your health? I hope you are doing what ever it takes to keep your heart healthy. Stick to your check ups and may the Lord be with you 💕
Thank you very much 🙏 I can't eat like this every day but I do my best outside of these challenges to stay healthy.
Wow! That is a mountain! Geez! You get enough of those full plates, you and Brandon can use ‘em for cover/camo on a stealth, lol. 😂 The jalapeños would have been the end of me if I tried this one. Still, with the spaghetti, it reminded me a little of the ramen challenge I did, and you will soon destroy- with the noodles being so soft, one could swallow (wss) with out havin to chew. I know I did a few times to help me time wise to be able to finish but kinda risky as gotta be careful 😮not to choke. Another dominating performance, man. Great job!
Thanks man, this was fun and different for most of the challenges I've done so I wanted to give it a try.
The cheese is fluffed and filled with air, it’s not that much actually. When it’s melted down,it equals around 3 slices of American cheese
Holy moly I don't even know what I'm looking at!! Just started the video
A whole bunch of cheese!
Awesome job God Bless
Thank you, hope you have a blessed day!
Completely epic congrats x
Thank you 🙏
Great job, you rocked it. Are you thinking of doing this for a full time job?
I'll probably not be able to do that. At least not anytime soon. It is a fun thought though.
@@EliLessig yeah I think it would be fun for sure. It's a good side gig.
Eli putting up numbers!
Thank you, probably the most shredded cheese I've eaten at one time. Lol
Lecker !!!!! Ob ich 8 Pfund essen kann, weiß ich nicht. Knapp 3kg habe ich aber schonmal geschafft. Danach war ich aber so satt und mir war so übel, ich konnte danach 2 Tage nichts essen, nur Wasser und Tee trinken.
3 kg is very good! Not many people can do that. I totally understand not wanting to eat for a while after. I am the same way. I don't eat much throughout the week.
@@EliLessig to many food and the Taste go away, i find

Eli, if you need me, Bro I'm at Tri-County Speedway
Awesome job! ❤❤❤
Thank you! How do I keep finding these challenges with a month's supply of cheese!?!? 🤣
Chill today hot tamale 😀 that was cheesey and good job Eli 👏 way to go.
😆 there was a years worth of cheese on here! Thank you Charlotte 🙏
@@EliLessig you're welcome 🤗🤗
Dude do you have a hallow leg.😅😅 .Fantastic job. Wtg . Have a blessed week 🙏😊
😆 There was so much cheese on this one! I didn't think I was ever going to finish this! Thank you for watching and have a blessed week as well 🙏
You destroyed it. Joey Chestnut would be impressed.
Thank you, he may like their coney dogs better!
BLUE ASS CHILL'S AFTER EATING ALL THAT CHILI!!! GOOD JOB MY GUY MY..😂🤯
🤣 thank you!
Good job friend ❤️
Thank you! Quite a bit of cheese with this one!
Love the challenge
Thank you 🙏
Great work :D
Thank you very much!
No freaking way you made it.. congrats on the big W..
Thank you! I like the name of this one.
Not disappointed I subscribed
Thank you, this was a fun one!
Question for you. There are times when I over eat and don't realize it at that moment. I feel uncomfortable about an hour after. So when is the "full" feeling worse for you after a challenge?
Sometimes larger amouts of meats can be difficult to process. Typically the saltier challenges are worse because you want to drink a lot afterwards but you don't have any room for it.
Love chili, but that's a lot!!
This could feed a family for sure!
That's a lot of spaghetti great job!!!!
Thank you Jay! First time eating Cincinnati style chili. Definitely got my fill of it.
Woo hoo, nice job mate! It looked hot too, I don't know how you did it! No way I'd be able to go near any of it 😅. Love the people around you asking for a card, hopefully you picked up a few subs while you were there 😃.
Thank you, everyone was really nice there. Most people have never seen a food challenge in person and are genuinely interested. At the very least it creates a fun memory for most.
Been going there since 1969, nice job. So when will your next meal be? Will you ever order a 3-way again?
When I do (most) challenges I won't eat again that day. I would order a 3-way again minus the jalapeño caps!
This is right around the corner from my house! I have wanted to try this but I know I would never defeat it lol. Cincinnati Style chili is its own thing, you either love or it hate it
Amber loves it, I prefer "normal" chili but this is good for a change. I jokingly call it pumpkin spice chili.
My favorite Cincinnati Chili is Gold Star 😋👏
We were in the area again and Amber teied it for the first time. She really liked it. We only have Skyline near our house.
@@EliLessig skyline is ok, but Gold Star is my childhood favorite.
I love cheese, but like.... That's a lot even for me. Godspeed!
It had so much cheese! It was a little chili with my cheese platter 😆
Respect bro, that was some huge plate of food.
🙌 thank you 🙏 so much cheese! 😆
At least he didn't talk the whole time like Joel that likes to hear his own voice. And no Dr. Phil plugs for products and services.
😆😆😆
Holy spaghetti batman! You Are amazing😮.
This was a crazy amount of cheese and noodles! Thank you 🙏
Congratulations!
🙌 thank you very much 🙏
It’d be cool to eat a challenge on a scale. Every time you take a water break you could see the progress. That’d be interesting. I’m gonna comment that on all the food dudes channels now. Someone should do it! I’m sure you had close to 3/4 of a pound down in the first minute.
That would be a fun idea.
@@EliLessig I think so man! Just focus a camera on the screen of the scale? I seriously think you were close to one pound in the first minute, while it was still hot as f¥{|
He is a best!!
Thank you 🙏
The trick to eating Cincinnati chili is to cut it up with a knife and fork first.. Great job 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Thank you 🙏
What do spaghetti noodles have to do with chili??
😆 I'm with you on that! This is Cincinnati style so it's mandatory. I do prefer mine without.
WOW!
So many jalapeños!
