Franco attempted his first food challenge in 2022 and began traveling throughout the United Kingdom to conquer them in 2023. He officially joined YouTube as Franco's Feasts last September. He has uploaded over 130 videos (including shorts), gained over 1,000 subscribers, and amassed 160,000+ views on his channel.


Even though Franco has been active on YouTube for less than a year, he has accomplished quite a lot. He currently sits at 33 food challenge victories.

 



 

Franco takes viewers on a laid-back food challenge adventure and provides behind-the-scenes experiences for his videos. When he visits a restaurant, he takes the time to interview the staff and get footage of the kitchen preparing the challenge. He is passionate about promoting restaurants and putting them on the map for viewers, challenge enthusiasts, and anyone who loves delicious food.

Franco has taken on everything from massive breakfast platters and overloaded BBQ plates to sugary sweet dessert challenges and monstrous burritos.


However, it would be a video titled "The Hot Dog That Almost Killed Me!" that he uploaded on January 22, 2024, that posed more than just a challenge for him.


In the 15-minute video, Franco visits Grumpy's Diner to take on their brand-new Boss Dog challenge. He has 25 minutes to take down a massive multi-dog monster featuring bacon, American cheese, fried onions, chili, nacho cheese, and crispy onion bits. What's more? It comes with fries and 16 onion rings.


Less than one minute into the challenge, something scary happens. Franco is mid-bite of a hot dog when it becomes lodged in his throat, and he starts to choke! Franco's good friend, Will, hits him on the back and forces the food out, saving his life and allowing him to continue the challenge.


After the incident ended, Franco did not skip a beat and continued battling the Boss Dog, which he would defeat.

 



 

We had the opportunity to interview Franco and ask him about his experiences with food challenges, including the Boss Dog incident. JJD Media kindly recorded the interview with Franco, and we want to thank them for that.
