Upland’s Ph Century has had a longstanding challenge — eat a six-pound bowl of ph, consisting of a pound of meat, two pounds of noodles and three pounds of broth in 30 minutes or less.
That was, until last Thursday.
Century’s six-pound ph bowl challenge was beaten, nay annihilated, by the Inland Empire’s one and only Naader “Freak8er” Reda.
The High Desert resident, you may recall, took second place in the professional eaters category in last week’s Farrell’s Ice Cream Eating Challenge.
For beating the challenge (in an amazing 17 minutes), Naader received $5 in gift certificates per the previous failed challengers (23, for a total of $115), an “I ph’d it up!” T-shirt and his meal for free.
The owners were so amazed by the feat, that they gave him a souvenir bowl and a free boba tea as well.
The victory is documented on Century’s Facebook page.
And so the challenge begins again.
If you think you can beat Century’s challenge, head to the restaurant, 1244 W. Foothill Blvd.
And make sure to bring your $5 to add to the pot.

If you haven’t yet checked out our favorite sandwich shop, Matano’s Little Italy, you better hurry!
The deli is closing July 28 and will reopen more than a month later, on September 4.
Maria and company are taking a well-deserved summer vacation.
However, we will miss her delicious sandwiches, lasagna rolls, tiramisu and other delicacies.
If there was ever a reason to brave the insane Yucaipa Boulevard roundabouts, Matano’s is it.
We (and those who have given Matano’s a five-star rating on Yelp) will have to find somewhere else to lunch during the month of August.
Matano’s Little Italy, 12114 California Blvd., Yucaipa, is normally open 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
A new Red Robin Gourmet Burgers is coming to the Inland Empire.

Red Robin’s latest contribution to the culinary world is the introduction of two new Tavern Style burgers which use the ghost pepper, once the hottest pepper known to man: The Fiery Ghost and the Cry Baby.
The new restaurant will be open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
