A Towering Dessert Challenge out of Utah Is Capturing Attention Online
A giant metal sink filled with ice cream, bananas, whipped cream, nuts, syrup, and cherries has suddenly become one of Utah’s most talked-about desserts online.
Millions of people recently watched YouTube creator Adam Moran, better known as BeardMeatsFood, sit down at Angie’s diner in Logan, Utah, and attempt the restaurant’s famous “Kitchen Sink Challenge.” The dessert arrived bolted to a wooden board, loaded with enough soft-serve ice cream and toppings to feed an entire table. About 21 minutes later, the sink was empty.
The clip attracted fresh attention toward a challenge locals have known about for years. Angie’s has served Cache Valley since 1983, and the oversized sundae has slowly become part of local culture. Most groups order it to share, but a much smaller number try to finish it solo, and even fewer succeed.
The Kitchen Sink Is Exactly What It Sounds Like
Angie’s serves the dessert inside a literal metal kitchen sink, instantly causing a stir across the dining room. The sundae includes a half-gallon of soft-serve ice cream, four bananas, three toppings of choice, whipped cream, chopped nuts, and cherries. Earlier descriptions of the challenge called it a three-pound dessert, though recent reporting suggests the full weight is even larger than many people expect.
At $24.99, it was clearly designed as a group dessert. Angie’s manager, Brian Spring, explained that customers order the Kitchen Sink almost every day, usually with several people gathered around the table. One person taking it down alone remains a rare sight. Anyone who finishes the challenge solo earns an “I Cleaned the Sink at Angie’s!” bumper sticker.

Moran’s video gave the challenge a much bigger audience. His YouTube channel has more than six million subscribers, and Angie’s video quickly crossed 1.8 million views after posting in March 2026. Moran filmed the challenge during Utah’s winter season and joked early in the video that mid-January might not be the smartest time to eat a mountain of ice cream. But he still pushed through it without much trouble.
The British food creator started with the bananas, worked steadily through the ice cream, and finished the entire sink in under 21 minutes. Then he added another local menu item for good measure: a Utah-style scone topped with strawberries and cream.
This part produced one of the funniest moments in the video. Moran admitted the dish completely confused him because it looked nothing like the scones he grew up eating in England. “It tastes good, but it’s not a scone,” he said while trying to figure it out on camera.
Utah Has Calmly Become a Stop for Food Challenges
The Logan stop was actually part of a larger Utah run for Moran. Just weeks before the Kitchen Sink challenge, he visited Sensuous Sandwich in Provo and finished a 24-inch sub sandwich fast enough to earn a T-shirt. Earlier in February, he traveled to St. George and tackled a 28-inch pizza challenge at John G’s Pizzeria. The pizza challenge normally serves two people. Moran finished it alone in about 17 minutes and reportedly broke the existing record.
