Anyone here ever tackle a food challenge?
When I lived in San Diego I tried two: One was a breakfast challenge at the Broken Yolk. My brother in law and I both made the attempt and succeeded. I swore I would never do it again. Well, fast forward about ten years, and I tried doing one with a burger, fries and cole slaw. If I ate it all, it would be free. If I didn't, it was $30.
The burger was two pounds of beef, cooked medium. The bitch of it, though, was that the bun was sourdough. The bread was just too dense. I got about a third of the way through it in a hour before calling "UNCLE!"
It was definitely something I shouldn't have tried, because it fucked me up for three days.
Anyway, I started thinking about it after seeing this video, in which a kid eats an entire 2.5 lb burrito in under two minutes:
