The World Famous Adam Emmenecker

$34.94

The Missouri Valley Conference's "Most Valuable Player of 2008" loves this sandwich. It's big... "really big" ... just like all of those "really big" shots Adam sank in the Bulldog's magical MVC Championship Season of 2008. Start with our huge pork tenderloin, add an Angus steak burger, top it with slabs of Texas brisket, apple wood bacon, fried cheese and finished with Buffalo chicken tenders. Smother this mountain with melted cheddar cheese and white cheddar sauce, with your choice of side. This could hurt you! A sandwich fit for the MVP. Remember your "Emmenecker Challenge" experience with a custom T-shirt. All "Emmenecker Challenge" attempts must be made with waffle fries
