Ciao everybody! This is Randy Santel,
"Atlas," and I am very very excited
tonight! I am still in Rome, Italy.
I'm going for my second win in the
country of Italy, country number 37,
overall win number 828. This time I'm
finally taking on an Italian challenge. I
am at Il Maritozzo
Rosso. I'm taking on their Carbonara
Challenge. Now, over a hundred people have
tried this thing; only for winners - one of
them being my friend Filippo that I did
that challenge with last night. I've got
one hour, again, to finish this. Now, this
is going to be tougher than last night. It's got one full kilogram of spaghetti
noodles, and then with that, there is 500 grams, about a pound, of pork cheek, and
then, I just found out why carbonara is so high in calories. In the sauce, there is
12 egg yolks. So it's about two and a
half to three kilos total. I've got 1
hour to finish. If I fail, it's going to
be 38 euros, but if I win, I'll get my
meal free, and I'll be the fifth person
up on the Wall of Fame.
Let's get this challenge started!
Alright big thank you to Eduardo, the
owner here at Il Maritozzo Rosso for
having me in. I just found out about
this challenge a few days ago and he
let me come in and do it while I'm here
in Rome, but let's shut up and eat and
we're on to Milan tomorrow, but hopefully going to do a challenge in
Venice, but for now, let's get win number
two in Italy.
1, 2, 3, BOOM!!
Alright, and I forgot. The record is 10 minutes and 36 seconds. That is super quick.
I don't think we'll beat that, but we'll see what we can do.
Yeah, 10 minutes is not happening (laughter).
I'm glad I did that BBQ challenge last night to get my stomach ready for this.
I'm trying not to drink too much water, because this is a lot of food, but it is delicious!
I'm 5 minutes and 15 seconds in. I'm still at the point where it seems like
it's multiplying or regenerating every
bite I take, but eventually I'll get to
the point where I know I can do it, but
we're still many bites away from that.
The 10 minute 36 second record is well past.
I'd like to think I'm halfway. I'm not sure
if I'm there yet, but congratulations to the guy that did that. That is super quick.
He was Italian though, so he cheated. He's had pasta many more times than me.
Ugh! I'll get it though. I've got one hour.
(crowd cheering)
The noodles are just so thick. It's crazy! It's like American spaghetti on steroids.
But as LA Beast says, mind over matter!
Once I start taking small small, small bites, then you know I'm struggling.
I'm alright for right now.
Do you guys have Diet Coke? Or just... yes! Diet... low on carbs. (laughing)
Like 3 more fork fulls and then I'll be all spoon from there.
3 more bites.
Other than last night, I've been off like 2 weeks. Cut me a break. (lol)
(cheering)
Ah! I was trying to beat a half hour and I did it!
29 minutes and 58 seconds, yes!!
There's a family all the way here from Australia.
There's a couple from the United States. There's a lot of people from Italy,
all here. I could not disappoint them. Had to get my 2nd win in Italy.
Really appreciate everybody's support. Ugh, that was such good, it's actually
probably been years since I've had
carbonara and I think I've only had it a
couple times, but that was definitely
excellent. Really loved every part of
that. Ugh, not so much those last few bites, but I was able to get it down, so 29
minutes and 58 seconds. I'm going to get
the 38 euro meal for free. No sweet
t-shirt, but I got one last night, so that
is great. I will be the fifth person up
on the wall of fame, so two wins. Hopefully one more near the Venice area,
and then we'll have three, but either way,
two great wins in Italy. Thank you so
much to Eduardo and everybody here at
Il Maritozzo Rosso in Rome,
Italy, and thank you guys for watching. It
was overall win number 828!!
