Christian Hackenberg vs. Ben Kunkel: $200 Steak Showdown

Christian Hackenberg and Ben Kunkel go head-to-head in a $200 steak showdown ahead of Penn State's White Out game against USC! Who can cook the better ribeye, and what happens when 10 steaks meet one fire alarm?

Before the biggest tailgate weekend in Happy Valley, former Penn State quarterback Christian Hackenberg heads to Weis Markets to stock up on thick-cut ribeyes, seasonings, and everything needed for an unforgettable weekend at the State Media House.

But the grocery run turns into a full-blown grilling competition when Ben Kunkel challenges Hackenberg to a steak cook-off!

From cowboy butter and black garlic seasoning to slow-smoking on the Big Green Egg and reverse-searing in cast iron, both competitors bring their own techniques to the table. Plus, there's a 10-pound pork roast, some questionable knife work, plenty of trash talk, and one unexpected fire alarm.

Who earned the ultimate White Out grilling bragging rights?
