MADE TO FAIL! | RESTAURANT DIDN'T WANT US TO WIN | TRIPLE LINNY BURGER

- Опубликовано: 9 дек 2024
- I am at Uncle Linny's restaurant in Pontoon Beach, IL about to take on their Triple Linny burger challenge. This huge burger comes with three 1.5 pound burgers and a pile of fries. The burger comes dressed and has a 40 minute time limit. If we are successful we are supposed to get a hat. This is day two of our St. Louis area trip and @OldGuyEats chose this challenge. Hailey was incredible and took great care of us during the challenge and the burger was great but clearly someone behind the scenes didn't want us to win and the restaurant didn't have the prize for winning even if we did! All in all we made the most of it and it made for a fun video!

The banter here is awesome! "You know I married her for her looks, but not this one she's been giving me." That's a gem :D
Definitely dog house comment😅😅
🤣
🤣
You could have just made a veggie sandwich. Great Eli 🎉is
@denisekorn9797 Thank you Denise!
I think you handled it well. You essentially said “game on” and didn’t let them beat you. Touché.
Thank you, we decided we were going to make the best of it. The burger was still very good and Haley was a great waitress.
Eli, you are one hell of a good sport with them sabotaging the challenge. Although I would have handled the situation just as you did, I would not return for another challenge with these people nor would I even dine there under normal circumstances. Just as they expect you to play fair they should also. Excellent video!!
Thank you and I appreciate that! I hope they don't do that to everyone because the burger was really tasty.
Agreed. This was very unfair.
You needed more onions… Haha! 🤪 I had a great time w/ you and Amber. This burger was delicious. Looking forward to this summer. Congratulations on another win!
🤣 The burger was really good and Amber and I both had a wonderful time. This is going to be a great year for both of us. Looking forward to it!
I just scribed to both of you two channels
@eldonloghry3553 thank you for the support!
@@eldonloghry3553 Thanks. I really appreciate that. 🙏
Hilarious !! YOU CAN NOT MAKE THIS STUFF UP!!! I am glad you showed them.
🤣 Thank you! It was a memorable challenge for sure. There was no way I was leaving without finishing that burger!
You took the higher road. Rock on! Thx for sharing.
Watching from Ontario Canada 🎉
I try to, the food was delicious and we got the win.
Eli of all the videos I've watched you doing challenges younare nothing but humble. This is no different because you had every given right to trash this place for what they did to you, but you just dont have it in you. Im glad you got the upper hand and took that thing down despite then deliberately sabotaging this challenge. Keep up the good work brother.
Thank you, my friend 🙏 I appreciate that, and I do my best to stay positive. We have little control of what happens to us, but we always have control of how we react!
Hey guys it’s Nolan!! From there thank you so much for coming out! I can’t believe you guys beat it!!
I appreciate it buddy! This was a lot of fun and we did have a great time!
Hi Eli, Amber, and Chris - I like Onions but that was a little ridiculous. They tried to make it impossible to complete but you powered through anyway. Congrats on another win. Thanks for the video.
It was a bit much! We still got the win so it's all good. Thank you for watching!
They say all’s fair in love and war, but they don’t say nothing about food challenges. Never understand a restaurant that actively doesn’t want you to win. Me, I want to serve up a good meal and get a bit of a show, but you gotta play fair.
Respect you and Chris for trying regardless. Congratulations on the wins!! 🎉
Gonna have to defer to Brandon to rate your fryball, since he’s the expert.
Totally agree with you! I talked to Brandon this morning and told him he needs to go back and do it with a fry ball this time.
I don't understand how they agree to cameras then treat someone like shit that's going to post it everywhere
Eli, you brought up something that recently dawned on me with the last Joel Hanson challenge I recently watched. That the cooks sabotaged him by putting a shockingly amount of salt within his giant burrito! I didn't think of that until after I had already written a comment. However, you saying that you feel you were deliberately sabotaged gives me the opportunity to mention about Joel. He shouldn't have completed that challenge. Too much salt can be extremely dangerous. Too many onions, can only be grassy!! But, the cooks should not have done that. It gives the restaurant a bad name. They should be fired!!!
Congratulations!! And have a blessed 2024.
Unfortunately sometimes challenges aren't always equal. Sometimes they are accidental and then there are times that it is deliberate. Ultimately it is our choice whether to proceed or not. I remember one time I had a challenge that was quite a bit larger than the previous challenge but it was made by someone who had never put one together. It's hard to keep everything completely fair unless scales are involved. I can't control how I am treated but I can always control how I behave. I hope that I acted appropriately.
No, not really my friend. If the establish has no honor in presenting its own challenge fairly and as described- why the hell would I trust their descriptions in the menu?
I’ll take a pass on visiting that place.
Illinois ( THE RIP OFF STATE.)
Joel is the GOAT
If looks could kill…..Mrs Hollywood had you in her sights! Great job guys.
She always does! Thanks buddy!
Thank you guys for the shoutout ❤️ congrats on your wins!!!!
You were really awesome and we did have a lot of fun with the challenge! We loved the crowd and support from all of you while we did the did the challenge!
Good to see you and Chris together. That was a crazy amount of onions. I would have asked if this is the way all their burgers come. I love onion on my burger but not that many very unfair. You handled it with Grace as always
Much appreciated! This was an onion with a side of burger! Lol
Pro-tip, If you are ever challenged with a big pile of raw onions again, ask for a pile of lemon wedges, fresh lemon or lime juice neutralizes a lot of the 'bite' from raw onions, making them taste much sweeter, almost refreshing.
I appreciate the tip! 🙏 I honestly didn't know that.
The high road is always better. Besides, it makes for quite the mic drop when you still beat the challenge.
💯🙏❤️
Another great Collab. with a awesome Gent. It has to be fun to food party with friends. Great job to both of you Rockstars.
Glad you enjoyed it! Chris is a great guy and I am going to see him this summer in Texas for a few more challenges.
Best thing to do is get a detailed list of what is Included in the challenge , number of pickles, onion tomatoes etc. It dont matter what the food is, burger, pizza, wings etc. Always get a detailed description from the manager and make sure they stick to the agreement
That would be the most fair. I doubt too many places would do it however.
Another restaurant owner that just doesn't get it. They save a penny to lose a dollar and alienate customers. Well done
Thank you very much 🙏
Agreed
We are a loooong way from Randy these days! Great job!!!!
Thank you 🙏
Lol, They only tried to sett you up for a failure, they're the only ones to fail tho😅😅😅😅
😆💯 true!
Nice win Eli and Chris!!!! Odds were against you, but u both pushed thru!!!!!!! Great win to start the new year
Thank you! We got the win and that's what matters. It was a fun experience.
Mastering the fry ball I see. Nice!! 👍🏻🤣🍟
Doing my best!
Eli and Chris good job
Thank you!
Great job guys 😊 Eli I definitely would of sent that onion back and asked them to saute it 😅
Thank you 🙏 and that would have been so much better!
Just got through watching Beard beat the same breakfast challenge that my man Eli conquered a while back. Seeing Eli, pic reminded me I needed to start my binge watching again.🖖
🙏 I appreciate you! That was a good breakfast too!
You all got Punked.. lots of fun. 🤣😂
Definitely! We had fun with it!
As always great job and also very nice you supported that oldguy while eating. Blessed day 🙏🙌💛
Thank you very much, he did great too! We appreciate the support and i hope you are having a blessed day as well!
I think you handled it well!! When they try to make you fail. Insist on WINNING!!🏆
🙌 We can't always control what happens to us but we have full control of how we react!
Yall did amazing! And if they did yall this way i can only imagine how they treated others! 😢❤
Thank you very much, I hope they use less onions for the next challenger! Either way, we decided to push through and have a good time in the process!
That was a great way to deal with all the frys, never saw anyone ball them up like that, much quicker to eat, great job
It's messier but faster to do it that way. I don't do that too often! I appreciate the support! 🙏
Nice job guys! Burger looked great, but, man, yeah, way too many onions. Tomatoes or lettuce I wouldn’t of mind. Great fry ball, too. When I did the Bardzilla where I fell just short, they may have cheated me a little as they gave me way more fries than just a basket, but it’s all good. I did try a fryball then and I have to say it does help save time. St. Louis is awesome as back in 2006, Marija and I hung out, saw and went up the arch, a very small capsule going up and small area at the top of it, also saw St. Louis Cardinals game seeing Pujols hit a home run, so cool!
It's a great area, sometimes we get more than we're supposed to but we have to roll with the punches.
17:56 - He did it?? [Shocked look on face, jaw is dropped] WOW!!! No way!! Oh my God, Oh my goodness!!
Thank you very much 🙏
RIP to mini burger. I was the other guy that completed the challenge after you lol. I really thought it was going to bring back some hype to the restaurant it was so sad to hear that it was closing after such a fun time with the challenge. Glad you were able to finish the burger and the all you can eat salad they supplied alongside of it
Man I was so sad to hear about them closing and I was glad to be able to watch you dominate that challenge. This was a memorable challenge for sure!
Good work to both of you. I would have gotten a weight on the onions alone, that was crazy
@NotoriousBOB thanks buddy! It was wild and made for a memorable challenge. I'm sure you could write a book on things like this over your career.
ABSOLUTELY LUV HOW YOU SHOWED THE COOK WHO TRIED TO SABOTAGE YOUR CHALLENGE WHO'S BOSS BY EATING THAT ENTIRE ONION LOL AWESOME FRY BALL TOO IN HONOR OF BRANDON! HEHE REALLY ENJOYED THIS VIDEO AS I ALWAYS DO!!! 😁👍
Thank you so much! We were determined to have a great time and we did just that. I told Brandon before we did the challenge that I was going to do that for him and he told me it was one of his first challenges so he may go back and redo it.
Happy New Year Eli all the best for the new year
Happy New Year! I hope it's a great one!
Fry ball!!!! I'm auditioning for fry ball girl lmao 😂😂😂
Lol, I think you're perfect for the job!
@EliLessig I w po uld gladly take the honors of being uour "fry ball" girl and support you completely. You are a #beast and I think you AND Miss Amber are going to do fantastic ❤️.
That is ruthless on how you beat it and still waited for a T-shirt. Almost seems not worth evening driving too or attempting if you never know what is gonna happen. You crushed it!
It was tough but the overall experience was good. All in all we got the win and created some memories. Hailey was very nice and we met some nice people.
Good job, buddy
In a very fast time.
Thanks buddy, hope you're recovering well and we can do a few together!
El;i, you beat the "monster Onion-in-the-Berger" trick. They certainly tried to sabotage your chance. You handled it admirably.
Thank you very much 🙏
Should have asked for dressing to go with your salad! Nice to see you power through those pickles too.
That's a great idea! It could have been a nice salad on the side. Thanks for watching!
It’s sad that a restaurant would have a challenge and then not want a RUclipsr to win. It’s an almost free advertisement and some of these guys get hundreds of thousands of views. Ever since I started watching these videos I’ve made a point to check out the restaurants during my travels.
It happens from time to time but not always. The majority of restaurants want people to try it. There are some great ones out there and I hope you have had a great experience with the ones you have visited.
I eat a 1/2 onion with a bowel of green beans. When green onions are ready in the garden i will eat 4 or 5 with a meal. Good job guys.
Onion makes green beans so much better! I like the green onions but they can be strong! Thank you for watching.
Eli you handled those veggies like a boss. At least the veggies are healthy. Great video.
Thank you, I appreciate it. We were determined to have a good time and we did. That's a great point, more veggies and less fries is a good thing.
Wow wow that burger looket amazing congratulations arwsome job 👍👍👍👍👍🍔🍟🍔🍟🍔🍟
The burger was really good and everyone that talked with us enjoyed what they had as well. Thank you!
Great job Eli , you kept it 💯 proud of you bro .
Thank you sir! I appreciate it 🙏
great job on completing that huge challenge.
Excellent job for maintaining a good attitude despite knowing you were being sabotaged with a grocery cart full of veg.
Thanks man, I try to stay positive. Everyone we met was super nice and it wasn't their fault so we were determined to make it fun.
Once again mate. Awesome job and kicked its butt😎👏
Thanks buddy! Brandon and I talked this morning and we have tentatively agreed to an Australian tour next year. He is going to London this year and a few other places. No dates yet as we are in the very early stages of planning.
@@EliLessig That awesome mate. Hope you get to Sydney and I can meet you guys and maybe join in
Great job Eli & Chris!! Old Guy Eats, really doesn't look like an old guy. 😁Huge amount of raw onions & tomatoes. I would have stolen your ketchup bottle for that one. The wrap was a great idea, along with borrowing Brandon Da Garbage Disposal Clark's signature fry ball technique. 👏Sorry you guys didn't get the hat. Onward & upward. 👍
He's not old at all! We had a lot of fun with what we had. I was trying to keep it entertaining. I would have loved the hat but I am glad to at least get the shirt.
No kisses for you to night 😊😊😊😊 Those raw onions 😮yuck!!!😮 great job and performance you guys.🎉🎉🎉🎉
No kisses for me! 🤣 This ended up being a very fun challenge. I am glad Chris got his first win in Illinois.
Loved it. Thanks you for finishing your vegetables. I shall subscribe since you love veggies.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! 🙌 Thank you for the support!
I love me some sweet onions on a burger. And a salad. The fries have to right. And a great fry sauce to go with them xss maybe some catsup. I would like some condiments for the burger. A vanilla milkshake is good with a burger all the way ,fries and a piece of blueberry cream pie for desert. 🍔🍟🥤
This restaurant had some amazing looking pies and cakes as we entered. They all looked great and would have complimented the burger very well.
Lol tried to make you fail and no hat wth! Eli you gotta tell Chris to wear his comfy pants that don't require a belt. Great job!
I really wanted a hat too!
We can tell you really 💕 your veggies 😉!!😂😂 You definitely got a whole 🧅 onion!! Wow eli your not getting any kisses 😘 tonight 💋!! Thanx for another great collaboration with Chris!!😊😊
lol, we had a great time and made the most out of it!
I'll never understand how you only have 6.33k subs and not 200-400k. Amazing personable as always
I truly appreciate that 🙏 This is going to be an amazing year with several collabs and a few new states!
Much respect Eli ! i tried eating a whole onion once when i drank too much and i failed miserably and cried like a little girl too :)
🤣 We've all had those moments when drinking too much!
All the best for 2024 bro
Thank you very much and the same to you and your family!
Eli you have a great personality and a great attitude even though they gave you to many veggies !!
Thank you, I try to be positive. At the end of the day, I got a full belly and chatted with a good friend.
Eli the burger looke great. I wouldn't get jalapeños, I would have years ago but not today. Congratulations guys!!
The older I get the less I want to eat too much peppers!
Haven't seen it yet but this might my only time to comment first! Hey Eli!!!
🏆 Thank you for the support and I hope you do like it when you watch!
I liked your game plan, the way you handled the fries.. I know other eaters would of been swimming in ketchup and hot sauce
Thank you very much 🙏
I never did believe redheads named Eli were greedy ... But after seeing you now I get it! 😜🤐🤙
🙌 😆😆😆 Thank you for watching 🙏
YES......jalapeños for tomatoes AND the onions. Give me 2lbs of jalapeños ❤❤❤
I couldn't have done that!
Fun video!
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Just go with it, it's just food...show them that you play right ✅️ 😉...by the way ,well done ✔️ 😃
We did the best we could. We had a good laugh with it and took on the challenge. I appreciate it!
I agree / believe you about the taste. But i can imagine it punching me hard in the gut halfway through!! Good job
Thank you 🙏 We had a fun time and got the win so all was good.
Love this video! ❤❤❤
It was a lot of fun!
Congratulations 🎊 👏 to you both!!
Thank you!!
Very strategic, way to overcome the onions !
Thanks man!
If they didn't have a hat that means they didn't think they were gonna win.😂 assess
🤣🤣🤣💯
I think that restaurants that offer such challenges should standardise the dishes according to the weight of the components, perhaps with a certain tolerance of +/- 10%. I would also look at pictures of previous participants beforehand.
That would be great!
Handled it well. That much onion would have been so annoying! Good job guys.
🙌 thank you, it stayed with us for a couple of days 😆
Great job! Lmao. You guys are Famous now, I think they must have known so they Added Xtra food for you guys. I love the jokes !You guys crushed it. I love tomatoes and onions so I would have not complained, but yes they made this tuff on you guys.
It's was more difficult but it made it memorable. Hailey wasn't too blame for this and we had a good laugh out of it.
For me, I would have mixed in the onions more with the meat and also the fries. Personally I like the fries hot, not cold, so I would do them first. Fries with onion is very good! Love the videos!
Those are great ideas, I really had a great time with this challenge and it was a fun collab with OldGuyEats! Thank you for watching and supporting the channel 🙏
@@EliLessig Thanks Eli! I'll keep watching!
Hi buddy that was an obserd amount of onions hat's off to you. You always amaze me. You're such a talented eater. Have a blessed day bud🤍🤍🤍🙌🙌🙌🙌🧅🧅🧅
Like Chris said, there was a whole garden! We made the best of it and got the win so all is good. Thank you and I hope you and your family is doing well!
I feel like serving yall that whole onion, not even grilledwas a little shady. Kudos to yall👍🏾
I don't mind raw onions (in moderation) but grilled would have been great.
I thank this was one of my first 10 wins. Sucks they did that to ya. Glad you got the win. Should say an extra shirt for no hat. She sid get spooked lol
It happens, I got the win and that's what was important. He scared her so bad!
👊
Great job again. I say set the best time you can so if Randy or any other competitive eater tries it they have to try and beat your time. Then we can compare the plate servings.
That's fair!
I subbed to both of y'all. Well done fellas 💪🏼
Thank you very much for the support!
I think they did you guys wrong. Karma to them. You two killed it.😂😅😊
Thank you, gotta roll with the punches.
Like they say cheaters never win,you all did great job throw it in there faces for adding all those condiments this is not the first time i had this happen to me also..congratulations and keep on eating yeaaahhhhh 😊😊😊
I appreciate it man, I don't think either of us were going to give in. It's not always fun but we ended up making it a good time. It helped to have each other there to talk and keep our minds off of it.
I thought yall handled that very well!! If I had to eat that many onions I'd be sick!!!! Just saw your live with Scott so had to pop over and subscribe!! Congrats yall did amazing!!!
It was a great burger and we still had a great time. The onions were a heavy handed but in the end we got the win and I didn't have to swipe a ketchup bottle for the prize!
@@EliLessig Haha that was so funny lmao 🤣
good job poor chris all them onions and onion rings
Onion Overload!
I love you two toghether!
Thank you, I will be doing a big road trip to Texas this summer where we will do a couple more together. Will be a lot of fun!
That’s awesome about Texas trip! I live in Pearland! Hope he brings you to the Box bakery for the burrito challenge!! Would love to be there to cheer you on and meet you both!
you should of substituted the pickels for more onions 😊
🤣🤣🤣
Kudos to you for completing this challenge with class instead of brass.
Thank you 🙏 The food was really good and Hailey was very helpful. Glad we got the win!
18:05 the server had the TO-GO box open under her armpit WTF no thanks LOL
🤣🤣🤣
Not a raw onion fan. Great job. God's blessings on your New Year
Grilled would have been great! I appreciate it and I hope 2024 is filled with much joy and happiness!
Eli, you and Chris 🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻Rocked🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻
Another W for both of you
How you feeling Bro
Thanks buddy! I'm good, chillin in the hotel and answering some comments. I got a breakfast challenge in the morning so I am looking forward to that. It's been a long time since I did a breakfast challenge.
New subscriber ❤
Thank you so much for the support!
Hell yeah your reaction was PERFECT left the egg for the staff!!!
P.S how was the couch
Thanks man, the couch isn't as nice as the bed but I am getting used to it!
the place just wanted to make sure you had your daily veggie intake.
i love onions, so i see this as an absolute win
We had plenty of fiber! It was a good time!
OH NO!!!!! This is an absolute nightmare for me 😮. No way I could have done it. ❤
It was a good burger though!
@@EliLessig I'm sure the burger was fantastic and you guys did a great job at showing them you would not be deterred. ❤️❤️
They may have overloaded the challenge but u sure showed them that they failed 😊❤
Thank you, we were determined to finish this one!
I'm sure...u made one Brandon Clark proud!!!!!!
Danm good job!!!!!! They tried to get u!!😂😂
Thanks buddy! I think he needs to go back and do it again!
Great work Eli! That’s just so wrong what they did to your burger. I hate raw onions, no way I could do that. I can do the tomatoes though.
Thank you Sandi! We still had a good time and made the most out of it. I wish there were less onions and more tomatoes!
I think if a place is going to offer a food challenge, then they should have the terms clearly stated. For instance, they need to say how much dressing is required to eat with the burger, it's granted that they will include some, but not a whole onion! Certainly not a pound of jalapenos. But yall won, so great job.
Thank you 🙏 The burger had great flavor and Haley was an incredible waitress.
Great job Eli. Too bad you’re gonna have ONION breath for at least a day😂
I believe if it was hot, I would have been sweating onions!
Salam meaning peace "Do Ya Thang" Eli they were trying to "WRECK" U&PATNA DUDE Keep doing it move"n good job.
Thank you, we made the most out of it!
Best of luck Eli!!
Thank you Tim!
