Ep 12. Ozark Mountains

In the twelfth episode of season 8, host Casey Webb travels to the Ozark Mountains to take on some of the heartiest food challenges Missouri has to offer. The show begins with Casey visiting a small diner called Hometown Cafe in Cassville. There Casey attempts to finish a local favorite known as The Big O Challenge. The challenge involves consuming a three-pound chicken-fried steak with three pounds of mashed potatoes, covered with white gravy, and topped with four slices of Texas toast. The meal is so massive that Casey needs to loosen his belt before beginning the challenge. However, despite being faced with a humongous portion, Casey remains determined to finish the Big O Challenge.

In the next segment of the show, Casey visits the world-famous Lambert's Cafe in Ozark, Missouri. Known for their “throwed rolls,” Lambert's is a must-visit for any food enthusiast. The restaurant is famed for throwing fresh hot rolls across the room to anyone who wants one. This unique tradition has been going on for over 60 years and is one of the highlights of Lambert's. But rolls aren't the only things on the menu! Lambert's Cafe also serves up hoards of mouth-watering comfort food like the popular “Fried Catfish,” “Fried Potatoes and Onions,” and their famous “Fried Okra.” Casey tries several dishes and even takes part in a throwed roll competition with the patrons, all while trying not to get hit in the face by a flying dinner roll.

Moving on, Casey visits the Rockin’ Pig Saloon, a popular bar in Missouri with the challenge called the “Pig Wing Challenge.” The challenge consists of 50-pork wings, slathered in three different sauces: hot, medium, and BBQ. The wings also come with a side of spiral fries. Casey has a limited amount of time to finish all 50 wings and fries, and of course, the clock is ticking. He is cheered on by the patrons of the Saloon, and things start to get quite intense as he nears the end of the timer. Casey is known for his ability to handle spicy food, so he has a chance to complete the challenge, but it remains to see if he can do it in the allotted time!

Lastly, Casey headed over to Adam’s Taphouse and Grille in Springfield, Missouri. There he participates in a challenge called the “Carnivore Challenge.” This challenge involves devouring an enormous platter-sized burger topped with bacon, pulled pork, grilled onions, and American cheese. The burger is then served with onion rings and fries, and Casey has a limited amount of time to complete the challenge. This is the final challenge of the episode, and Casey is ready to make it a win to complete his visit to the Ozark Mountains.

In conclusion, the Ozark Mountains episode features some of the most challenging food challenges in Missouri. Casey Webb takes on some of these challenges with great enthusiasm and shows us how we can become conqueror of these food challenges with determination and composure. As usual, the episode ends with Casey leaving us in awe how he successfully completed all these challenging contests.
