The annual “Super Duper Cheesesteak Challenge” has started across the Miami Valley at every Submarine House, proceeds of which this year go to the Pink Ribbon Girls.  January 30th was the first day that Dayton area residents could partake in this food challenge for charity.

The Food Adventure Crew has been a part of the event for more than 3 years and we have seen almost $50,000 raised for Dayton’s Children Hospital during that time.

On Fat Tuesday, February 28th, 7pm, Food Adventures with Dayton Most Metro and Dayton Dining will be hosting a “one night only” qualifying event for charity at the new Centerville Submarine House Bar & Grill location at 503 Miamisburg-Centerville Rd., next to Adventure Golf for 16 contestants! Everyone is welcome to come watch and cheer …. but first

***WHAT IS THE SUPER DUPER CHEESESTEAK CHALLENGE ?????

HERE’S THE SKINNY:

—WHEN: Starting Jan, 30th you may take the challenge at any Submarine House location through April 2nd.

—WHAT: You must eat a 16 inch SUPER DUPER CHEESESTEAK, with “The Works” toppings in less than 16 minutes. Super Duper means this 16 inch sub has triple the meat and triple the cheese of their normal subs.  The Works includes: Cheese, mayo, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, homemade oil & vinegar dressing & pepper relish.   Grilled Mushrooms also come on the sub.  Important – NO topping substitutions, you have to eat it as is with all of the ingredients.  This is not a baby challenge.  So bring your loose pants.

—WHY: If you complete the challenge, your sandwich is free and you win a T-shirt. A portion of the proceeds goes to The Pink Ribbon Girls charity.

—COST: About $23 up front, which is refundable if you complete the challenge successfully.  You can take the challenge at any Submarine House, alone or with a group of friends from Jan 30th through April 2nd.

The top 10 fastest times will see the competitors called back in April for the “store championship semi-finals.”

The winner of each store will advance to the FINALS April 22nd, 1pm at the new Huber Heights Bar & Grill Location at 5376 Taylorsville Rd.
