Four contestants participated in Chaps Pit Beef’s first Man vs. Food Challenge Aug. 3. Located in Coastal Station on Route 1 behind Iron Hill Brewery, Chaps Pit Beef opened in March. It’s the first non-Maryland franchise for the famous Baltimore eatery.
The 30-minute challenge included eating a sandwich called The Big John, which includes beef, corned beef, turkey, ham and sausage, a small fry, a large mac and cheese, a large drink, and an order of rice pudding.
With the plates of food sitting before the contestants, and the sandwiches still wrapped, owner Gary Desch said the sandwich doesn’t look that big, but when opened, “it’s like, Bang!”

With the pile of mac and cheese done, eventual winner Stephen Nowlan of Lynn, Mass., opens wide for the Big John.
Those sandwiches didn’t make themselves. Here Ieasha Whaley and Marvin Burton wrap up the Big John after stuffing it full of five different meats.
It’s all smiles for the contestants before the timer begins. Pictured (l-r) are Dewey Beach Commissioner David Moskowitz, Andre Sanchez, Connor Hudson and Stephen Nowlan.
Connor Hudson of Ocean View saves time by getting the container of mac and cheese as close to his face as possible.
As part of the challenge, contestants had to eat a small fry, a serving of mac and cheese and a serving of rice pudding.
