snoop1130 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Jason Rupp trains hard to win Somtam Chili Challenge, beats Thais by wolfing 45 chili dish By Laurel Tuohy The day before our Yum Fest Somtam Chili Challenge, American soon-to-be champion Jason Rupp walked into his local Thai eatery and ordered a dish of somtam for himself that contained 25 red hot chili peppers. He’d been training all week but still said in his own vlog, “It’s kinda like chewing bullets from a gun — boom, boom, boom.” Two days before the challenge, he uploaded another video that showed him wolfing down a somtam that contained 20 fiery chilis. He told us that, on Wednesday, he ate a dish containing 15 chilis. Rupp, a Youtuber who focuses on food and travel videos, took the challenge seriously, outlining his training process to Coconuts after winning the grueling, spicy competition to become our chili eating champion.

cornishcarlos Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Nice effort but a long way to go, before he becomes a chilli master :) Chilli eating contests are always good fun to watch, guess I'm just sick !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cereal Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Sometimes I have to wonder what the final goal is in some of these ridiculous challenges. Is getting your 15 minutes of fame really so important to you that you'd do things that are inherently self-destructive? That's one of the definitions of crazy!

It's all about the pursuit of happiness or something similar, since he is American this could be regarded as an intellectual challenge for him.

Somtham Thai -- i.e., Somtham without Pla La -- is commonly eaten by many Thais. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
