Bring an appetite: A guide to Nova Scotia food challenges

There was a man recently who completed an incredible feat! Or should I say two feet? Two feet of pure sub. A food influencer called Beard Meets Food completed Dan’s Ice Cream Shoppe (in Barrington Passage) 2‑foot Monster Sub Challenge recently! That’s pretty impressive, but there are so many other gut‑busting challenges that you can try.

Sometimes they are hard to find because, for one, not a lot of people do them and usually they’re pretty pricey if you don’t finish them. Oftentimes you can find them on the back of the menu or behind the counter on a whiteboard or flyer.

Tuck in, because these are some of the most intense food challenges in Nova Scotia!
