"That's the worst thing I've ever heard you order," someone behind the counter at Piggy's Gastro Grub tells Adam Moran. The order in question is a tandoori chicken wrap with salad cream. He stands by it, and a few minutes later, mid-mouthful, he is recommending it to everyone watching.
The wrap is one line on a long list. The Nottingham cafe's Monster Munch Box asks for two sandwiches, that wrap, a sausage roll a foot and a half long, two giant Scotch eggs, a giant cheese mallet, two cookies, a bag of crisps and a fizzy drink, all inside 30 minutes. Finish and the £30 lunch is free. Staff say only one person, Leah, has managed it, in 26 minutes. Adam's description casts the city as the home of Robin Hood and, after a pause for thought, Brian Clough, and he hopes to join the list.
He starts at a leisurely pace ("Food's too good to rush"), but ten minutes in he is facing the Scotch eggs and the sausage roll and calling for brown sauce. "This is harder than it looks," he concedes. He clears the box in under 23 minutes, ahead of Leah's time, to applause from the staff, then asks whether there is a dessert menu. There is, and a salted pretzel brownie follows.
Much of the comment section is about the counter rather than the clock: the server whose jokes set the tone of the whole visit, a spread that several viewers say looks like an advertisement, and the man behind the camera who keeps things light until it is time to watch the timer.
Chasing a house record is home turf for Adam. The channel's most watched video is his 2023 attempt on the slice record at Gordon Ramsay's bottomless pizza restaurant, with a run at an unlimited cake shop's record in London not far behind.

Two wonderful people genuinely enjoying their jobs. What a sight to see!
@trenita6248See it on YouTubeThe server is awesome - she is funny and set the tone!
@rg20322See it on YouTubeI love how Josh 1 jokes around, but when it comes to the clock and keeping Adam on the task at hand, he gets super serious. He knows his job, keep it light, but also keep Adam focused and record the challenge. Good job to both Josh's with Adam's videos!
