Glutton for Punishment

Pizza Making Record
In 2008 in Gulfport, Mississippi, Domino's Pizza general manager Donnie Rush set a Guinness World Record for Most 12-inch Pizzas stretched, sauced, cheesed and fired in one hour by making 142 - beating the previous record by 49. That is one pizza every 25 seconds. To aid in his quest, Bob assembles a dream team of Toronto pizza maestros. But when it comes time to go for the record in front of a live audience at Toronto's Corso Italia Festival, he is all on his own. Will Bob succeed or will he be stretched to the max?

Onion Peeling Record
In 1980, a diner employee named Alan St. Jean broke the Guinness World Record for the Fastest Time to Peel 50 Pounds of Onions - which he completed in an incredible 3 minutes and 18 seconds. Since then, many have attempted to break this record, but no one has succeeded - yet. To train, Bob has to fight back the tears as he slices through mountains of Walla Walla's finest with wild abandon. Then he tries to break the record at the Walla Walla Sweet Onion Festival.

Behind the Scenes
Bob has taken on 58 challenges over the past five seasons - and endured 58 different forms of punishment. He has chased a speeding 10-pound wheel of double Gloucester cheese down a cliff in England, hand-pulled noodles in China, fished for catfish in Oklahoma using his bare hands, and detoxified a deadly poisonous blowfish in Japan. The Food Network audience has watched as he tackled these feats with dogged (some say pig-headed) determination. But what happens behind the scenes? How does he prepare mentally? What really terrifies him? We find out these answers - and many more - as Bob and his faithful crew take us behind-the-scenes and show their favorite clips, never-before-seen footage, and hilarious bloopers.
