The best extreme eating challenge is back for 2023! You know it’s already hot in Atlanta in the summer, but it’s even hotter at SFGE with the annual HOTlanta Extreme Eating Challenge! Since 2018, we’ve been brining you the best hot pepper-eating contest and Oreo Speed Run Challenge in the Southeast, but we can’t do it without you!

HOTLanta Extreme Eating

Are you interested in joining us as a contestant for one of the hottest challenges around? Sign up below to be a competitor in our Hotlanta Extreme Eating Challenge. The contest will consist of eating progressively spicy peppers until only one person is left standing. If more than one person finishes all levels, then the winner will be decided by a final timed challenge. Milk will be provided, but no relief from the heat will be allowed until you either tap out or win it all! One winner will receive $100 cash, weekend membership for SFGE 2024, and a swag pack of SFGE merch. Consolation prizes will also be awarded. Contestants MUST possess a valid 2023 membership.

Oreo Speed Run

We will also bring back the Oreo Speed Run Challenge. Each contestant will be given 25 Oreo cookies and the first person to finish them all wins! This is a great opportunity to compete in a fun food contest without the heat! Water is permitted and provided. One winner will receive $50 cash and a swag pack of merch. Consolation prizes will also be awarded. Contestants MUST possess a valid 2023 membership.

Contest will start at 11AM on Saturday, July 29, 2022. Contestants will need to arrive by 10:15 to sign waivers of liability and go over rules. Do not sign up if you can’t meet the schedule requirements. Preference is given to entirely new applicants this year. Contestants must be 18 years of age or older.
