[Feirny]

I would, but I don't like Chicken or Chilli Beef. I could probably do that challenge too.

What's the calories in it?

 

[daveski]

Lots.

I was the same and I didnt finish it!

 

[Harpham]

What's the calories in it?

More than you can afford, pal.

 

[Christopher]

We did this the other month... it's harder than it looks. I just got a mixed grill and laughed at Seb attempting it.

 

[Cup_Phil]

When I finished it the guy told me the burger is 5,000 calories :|

The trick is to eat FAST. It doesn't look a lot but trust me after 10mins when the burgers have gone cold your jaw hurts so much

Remove bread bun, cut the meat up and eat as quickly as humanly possible, then whack all the chips in the bread bun, cut it into quarters, dip it in loads of sauce and eat till you feel like you're gonna die lol

 

[The Russian.]

My excuse (the bulking phase) ha but my attemp will end in a FAIL.

 

[welshname]

I would love to do it and reckon I could eat it all. I just don't like a lot of the stuff on it.

 

[Daz.]

It must be bigger in real life as on that picture I reckon I could nail that no problem.

Spicy chilli beef scares me though - I'm a pussy with spicy foods - even a zinger tower burger blows my head off!

 

[Jaff.]

Neither do I but I still had a go. Scraped the chilli beef off and put the chicken to the side and tucked in.

Love how everyone thinks they can do it tho! It's 24oz of burger! Not including the chilli, bread, chips etc. You honestly get the insides exploding feeling after the buger!

 

[Kane.]

Looks lovely.

 

[Cup_Phil]

 

[daveski]

When I took the photo in the OP I should have had something in the shot to show scale.

I love how all the people who have never done it are saying its so easy though, will be good to see their faces when they're half way through.

 

[Mr Burns]

I might come along just to laugh and do skids.

 

[Toby]

I'm in Ibiza, Paul can we do round 2 after I get back?!

 

[Marky_]

I'll pop along as long as it's after 5pm.

 

[Addicted]

THAT BURGER!

I think I could actually do it, do they have any pubs in the West Mids?

edit: found one, going Monday D:

 

[mitch1503]

i think id probs do it as iv been out for a meal and ate a 12oz beef burger plus the missus chicken burger followed up by a mega ice cream sundae and then 4 hours later i had a tripple burger which is 3x1/4 burger plus the chips etc... shame i hate chilli

 

[Matt W]

Like a boss.





Also, dave could you grab that t-shirt for me

 

[mitch1503]

im gonna have to try it next time i take my missus out for food as she already says getting a 12oz burger is rediculous 2 start with so will be interesting to see her face lol

We're going out tonight, must...resist...!

 

[Matt W]

It's a hell of a challenge. I had to have extra chips to change the texture, it's so beefy!

 

[MicKPM]

I'm up for this again... I have a cunning plan that will enable me to finish the chips this time.

 

[Tunst]

I would love to do it and reckon I could eat it all. I just don't like a lot of the stuff on it.

Id travel for this challenge but im same as above... All food challenged have some s**t in them i cant stand

 

[MicKPM]

What I really love about it is that this dish is priced at £9.99 each and it makes everything else on the menu look like a rip-off.

The wife works alternate weeks and it's in the evenings. Who's managing the dates because I really want to come to this meat.

 

[Gray]

Mick,

I don't think stuffing the chips up your arse counts as finishing the meal if that's your cunning plan!?

 

[bright]

Either day works for me, would be better towards 7ish for me though onboth days. Could make it earlier if needs be

That's why I end up having it every time I go in - because a normal burger is like £7.99 and the challenge burger is epic even if you only eat half of it

Matt - how long did it take you to finish?

 

[Matt W]

55 minutes in total. Speed at the start is vital.

 

[Harpham]

Yup, we'll be able to take more if we absolutely tank it at the start. Our body won't register that we're full as quickly iirc.

Ill give this until Wednesday for people to get their names down and their preferred day, then make a decision what day/time to do it on, so that people have a week to make any necessary arrangements.
Shall I book a table, or are we just going to roll up, like a BAUS, and order about 10x burgers !
