Once again another experience from another one of my crazy Man v. Food adventures. Unlike the last one this one was enjoyable, kinda, and did not have lasting effects on me. Once again I followed Adam Richamn to Walnut Creek where he attempted the Kitchen Sink Challenge at the San Francisco Creamery.
The Kitchen Sink is a challenge where the challenger has 1 hour to eat 8 softball size scoops of ice cream. It is called the Kitchen Sink because they serve it on a Kitchen Sink looking place. This giant sunday is accompanied with 8 toppings, 8 servings of whipped cream, and a few bananas. The challenger is allowed to request any ice cream combination of ice cream and toppings that they want. Due to the fact that I had learned something from the hot wings experience I knew that I was not going to attempt to do this alone. I decide the challenge would be more fun, for us normal people, if I did it with a team. The benefit of the Kitchen Sink is that anyone that orders it gets their picture framed in the restaurant, that being said I decided this was going to be more fun to do with a group than it was to do alone. I assembled a 6 man raid to tackle this giant sunday.
The experience was AMAZING. The restaurant had an awesome smell as you entered and all of us where really hungry. We decided to have lunch first and then have the Kitchen Sink. Another awesome surprise was the fact that the General Manager of the restaurant was our server for that day, she was the one that served Adam in the show. Seeing here there made it an instant good day!
We all ordered our burgers and they where really good. My little sister and my friend Darcy where the only ones to actually finish their plate (I was a proud older brother). Then it was time to order the sink. The waitress brought us over the order form and we started the 15 min debate about what will be on our Kitchen Sink. I do not exactly remember what was in it but there what I do remember was: vanilla, chocolate, rocky road, strawberry shortcake, gummy bears, oreos, m&ms, sprinkles etc... It was a crazy sunday. Watching them build it was crazier. Scoops after scoops of ice cream, tons of toppings in between, and a pressurized whip cream dispenser.
The Kitchen Sink was overwhelming, it smelled very good and very sweet. At first every bite tasted like its respected scoop. All 6 of us attacked it from different angles trying to meet up at the middle. It would melt and we would try to catch it. I remember getting surprises with some bites like M&Ms or gummy bears. Biting into gummy bears was not pleasant since they would be hard when you bit on them. After being half way into the ice cream sunday it started to all taste the same since it would all melt into each other. About 3/4 of the way into it your stomach feels like a refrigerator it would just feel cold. It took us about 45 mins, but we finished it. Afterwards we where all very cold, and very full.
It was a victory for our group since we all had a big lunch and an even bigger desert. It was a great day with a great group of friends. In the show Adam was able to eat it all by himself in about 46 minutes.
