A group of friends, including Cyril, Nick, and Zong, participate in a 24-hour eating challenge where they try to consume 100 different types of food. The challenge is a competition, and the person who eats the least amount of food has to perform an extreme punishment. Throughout the 24 hours, the friends visit various restaurants and eateries, including a food court, McDonald's, Shake Shack, and a vegan restaurant, where they try a wide range of foods, from scrambled eggs and cereal to poke bowls, tacos, and pizza. Cyril is determined to win and comes up with a strategy to eat lighter, healthier foods to digest more easily. Despite feeling extremely full, Cyril continues to eat, trying to finish as many foods as possible. In the end, Cyril and Zong tie, having eaten 17 foods each, and they decide to do a rematch to determine the winner.
