Ian accepts as he takes a bite out of two donuts at once and Food Battle 2007 begins.

In response, Anthony jokingly blurts out that they should "take a stab at" Ian's mother with his "big dick-tionary", pulling out a copy of Webster's New American Dictionary, to Ian's disgust.


 * Anthony pumps himself for the challenges and asks Ian to hand him the baguette. Ian complies, asking if he is referring to the baguette, mispronouncing it as "baggot," upsetting Anthony, who corrects Ian and swipes the baguette from him. Anthony promptly attempts to slice through the baguette with his celery, but after a few seconds, the celery snaps in half. Ian laughs at an infuriated Anthony. Result: X

 * With his donut tied to a string, Ian tosses it out onto the sidewalk right before a pedestrian approaches. To Ian's excitement, the man seems to notice the donut, but instead picks up a penny adjacent to it and comments that "it must be [his] lucky day", to Ian's despair. Result: X
 * Anthony swings his celery before tossing it out onto the sidewalk, right in front of Benny Jean. Initially startled, Benny Jean soon notices that it is celery in front of him, and proceeds to chase it as Anthony reels it in.

Steering wheel
For the final challenge, Ian decides on a steering wheel. Anthony comments that the challenge will be easy, to which Ian responds by jokingly comparing the perceived ease of the challenge to his mother, to Anthony's disgust.
 * Ian, psyched to win because of his "lucky white T-shirt", starts slowly accelerating. He repeatedly tries to use his donut instead of the steering wheel and, when the car does not respond, begins to panic. He screams before crashing into a sign as Anthony watches in horror. Result: X
 * Anthony does not participate in this challenge.

Ending
After crashing his car, Ian opens the door and falls out of the car, but claims that he is fine. However, as Anthony watches, Ian stands up and checks his pulse, noticing that it is "faint and irregular", and asks Anthony if that is normal. He starts vomitting blood, staining his T-shirt, and also asks if that is normal. At this point, Ian feels no pulse in his neck, a feeling he describes as "really trippy" and "awesome". Soon after, as Anthony watches on in shock, Ian collapses to the ground.

Sometime after, as Anthony is still rooted to the spot, the Food Battle Reporter (Brian Rassmussen) approaches him and informs him that he has won Food Battle 2007, to his excitement. The Reporter asks what he plans to do next, and Anthony enthusiastically responds that he is going to return home and watch Toy Story.
