10-pound poké bowl challenge at Riz Sushi
This is a two-person eating challenge, so it costs $60 per person to enter, and you’ve got to inhale this thing back in under 30 minutes. The dish itself is a humongous poké bowl full of crab salad, wakame, cucumber kimchi, edamame, pickled ginger, and masago served on a bed of white rice topped with fried garlic and shallots, and two pounds of fresh fish. Winners of this first round each get $50 gift cards to Riz, and they’ll be entered to win a trip to Las Vegas.
When: April 25 to May 31
Where: Riz Sushi – 2887 East Broadway, Vancouver
Colossal Tawainese Beef Noodle at Pearl Castle Café
Even though it’s an official food challenge, attempting to taking down Metro Vancouver’s largest Tawainese Beef Noodle dish is definitely a personal one. Pearl Castle Café offers this huge helping of the classic eastern dish, but only at its Continental Centre location in Richmond. The Beef Noodle Colossal’s size is equivalent to three or four bowls of a regular helping, and they claim it’s the biggest in the Vancouver area. Available in regular, tomato, or spicy, the creation is $30-$33 depending on which variety you choose.
Where: Pearl Castle Café in Continental Shopping Centre – 3779 Sexsmith Rd #1128, Richmond
$5 Ramen Challenge at Yuu Japanese Tapas

Choose from shoyu, miso, tonkotsu, and shio bae bases, and each ramen comes with an egg, chashu, nori, bean sprouts, and green onions. Take it up a notch and opt for the new uber-spicy Godzilla Fire variety to get real wild.
When: May 7 to 9 from 11:30 am to 10:30 pm
Where: Yuu Japanese Tapas – 1118 3779 Sexsmith Road, Richmond
