(KNUE-FM) At this point in my life I know that I will never do an eating challenge, but there are some delicious and challenging ones offered up in Texas. Eating as much food as possible used to be fun, I wasn't as interested in the timed challenges because those make it so much more difficult but either way, I was never successful.

Occasionally I could eat more than some buddies but I'm certain I couldn't finish any of these extreme eating challenges you can find in the Lone Star State.

As you look at the challenges below you will notice that it doesn't matter what kind of food you like there is a challenge for you.

Insane Portion Sizes You Must See to Believe

In Texas you have a variety of options like a 7-pound burger, 4-pound breakfast burrito, 30-inch pizza (plus 40-ounce beer), 5-gallon bowl of Pho, or 20 scoops of ice cream with lots of candies on top.

While they might sound delicious now, when the food is in front of you it won't look as appealing.

Time Limits Make These Contests Even Tougher

Each of the challenges listed above have time limits with the longest being ninety minutes to finish all of the food. It might seem like a lot of time, but it really isn't that much.

But I will suggest if you are determined to try any of the food challenges below make sure you bring someone to drive you home, you don't want to get behind the wheel after that much food is consumed. If I'm being honest, there is no way I could finish any of those food challenges.

What about you, do you or anyone you know have what it takes?
