Spicy Pad Thai Challenge II



Sawatdee Express Uptown & Old Abbot Productions invite you to the hottest new eating challenge in the Twin Cities. It’s Spicy Pad Thai Challenge where those brave enough to clear their plate will become legends even with welled up tears, and those too weak to finish will be immortalized on the Wall of Shame.

Courtesy of Head Chef and Owner Wes Youkunlaya, contestants have ten minutes to finish a massive order of his deliciously diabolical pad thai noodles, with no water to ease the pain. Days before Halloween, participants will be offered the chance to star in their own horror movie featuring themselves and a plate of devilishly red pad thai noodles. Eyes swelling with tears, taste buds roasting in an inferno of foreign spices, their best buds mocking them to ‘Hurry up!’. They give it the old college try, but can’t finish the plate or need water before the ten minutes is up. No big deal right? Wrong. Their drooling, failure filled face gets plastered up on our Wall of Shame where it will stay until they find the strength to come back in and succeed.

Join us and see the horror first hand on Saturday, October 29th from 3:00 - 6:00 PM at Sawatdee Express Uptown located at 1404 West Lake Street in Minneapolis. This event is free to attend, but masochists looking to prove something will be charged ten dollars to participate. Same URL, some other time, stay tuned.
