College Station – A local food challenge enthusiast is set to embark on a road trip to College Station next week, marking their first visit since high school.

The main objective of the challenge is to consume three of Fat Shack’s famous sandwiches within a tight time limit of thirty minutes. There is some uncertainty surrounding whether the challenger can select any three sandwiches from the menu or if they must specifically eat three of Fat Shack’s signature offerings. Successfully completing the challenge will not only refund the cost of the meal, valued at $46, but the winner will also receive a choice of Fat Shack merchandise and a $20 gift card.
