Pro Eater Breaks Record! Mr. Yock’s BBQ Boss Hog Challenge

Looking for the best barbecue near Lake Wallenpaupack? Join us as we visit Mr. Yocks Barbecue in Lake Ariel for a day filled with incredible food and a surprise celebrity appearance. We were lucky enough to witness a professional eating record being broken right before our eyes! In this episode, we visit Goose Pond Road to check out a local favorite that has been serving the community for nine years. We run into George, also known as The Smorgasboard, a top ranked pro eater who just crushed the Boss Hog Challenge in record time. He shares his secrets on how he consumes massive amounts of food and what it takes to go pro in the world of competitive eating. If you think you have what it takes, the Boss Hog Challenge offers a cash prize and a champion shirt for anyone who can finish the platter in under 45 minutes. After the excitement of the challenge, it was time for us to dig into our own feast. We tried the half chicken platter, a half rack of ribs, and their famous loaded onion rings topped with pulled pork and cheese. The ribs were so tender they literally fell off the bone, and the barbecue baked beans were a huge hit. We even brought along a little helper who loved the ribs so much she finished them in just two bites! Mr. Yaks is located just a short distance from Claws n Paws, making it the perfect stop after a day of local sightseeing. We gave our meal a rare 10 out of 10 rating, so you know it is worth the trip.
