Visiting downtown South Loop Chicago to take on a massive Quad City style pizza challenge at Root's Handmade Pizza! I had just one hour to finish a four course extra-cheesy challenge consisting of:
- 16" Quad City style taco pizza topped with over 2lbs of mozzarella and cheddar cheese, 1lb of taco meat, and a pile of cheesy seasoned taco chips
- 5 huge 4oz mozzarella cheese logs with marinara sauce
- 1 tub of creamy parmesan, spinach and artichoke dip with a hefty side of pita bread
- 1 slice of Fruity Pebble Cheesecake from West Town Bakery
Winners get their $60 meal for free, a groovy t-shirt, and a polaroid photo up on Root's wall of fame!

She doesn’t eat like you & I, she stuffs and swallows because she’s on the clock. How do I know this? We were given 3 minutes to “eat” our chow in boot camp when I joined the Navy. You learn to stuff & swallow or you go hungry. This was 35 years ago. Don’t know how much time they’re given today. I wish her well in her culinary endeavors.

My parents are from the Quad Cities. I have never seen a pizza there cut the same way this pizza was cut. The original taco pizza was invented by Happy Joe's (there are a few Happy Joe's locations in Wisconsin, too). The Happy Joe's Taco Joe is awesome. About a decade ago, my dad had a stem cell transplant, and before you have the actual transplant, you have to have a massive dose of chemo first. The first food that looked or smelled good to him after the transplant was a Taco Joe pizza.

FROM THERE ! Quad Cities = Moline, East Moline, Rock Island, Illinois and Davenport Iowa.... I was born in East Moline, haven't been there in 20 years. We used to get pizza at Franks...it was phenomenal....Loads of cheese, cut in strips. I took my cousin when she came to visit ....40 years later we still talk about how she almost choked to death on Quad Cities pizza while I wasn't paying attention!

I get full so thanks for the help with not eating pizza these days but that dip looked really good and it also one of my favorites. Not a big fan of cheese but here and there is great.

Good job on this challenge! I grew up in the Quad Cities (Rock Island, IL) and what you were missing was TACO SAUCE!! Usually the taco pizza gets served with packets of taco sauce to garnish the top of it, give it some extra flavor, and help it go down easier! Happy Joe's was the local chain that always did it the best!

Wow, you poor girl! That did look to be a bit of a struggle, to get that insane Taco Pizza down! I think you're right, that was a pizza, topped with SEVERAL sides of Nacho's really! But those "Cheese Bricks" looked totally amazing. I've never seen cheese sticks that massive, or that much insane gooeyness!!! You can tell you really enjoyed those, and just for a min, your expression (after completing the pizza) did change to a bit of bliss, with the cheese cake. But I think the look on you face at the end said it all. You admitted your were hurting. But you being the awesome competitor you are ( and your love of cheese maybe ;) & your mad determination, pulled you through again. Amazing job, and I really loved that "chill" background music you had going on. That was next level for sure getting through this challenge ( with the help of Randy looking after you!) and I cant wait for the next video. Take Care Katina! :)
