The challenge is available in the evenings only, so basically, just Thursday and Friday nights (at the time of writing). Looking at it, I think its impossible. I totted it up and its 8.5lbs plus the weight of the bun.
Putting that in to context, most food challenges are around the 3 – 3.5lb mark. A 72oz steak is 4.5lbs and steak is a lot denser than the stuff in this challenge. A 5lb food challenge would beat me. When you are looking at an 8.5lb challenge, you are really only looking at the pro competitive eaters that can do it and even then a lot of them would fail.
That challenge would feed 4 people quite easily. The burger patties themselves weight 3lbs in total so each person would get 3/4lbs of burger and 1/2lb of chips, plus a quarter of all the extras. It’d be a big meal for 4 regular people.
If you think you can do it here are the details but you’d be doing well to even get half way. If they’ll let you, go down with a few mates and have the meal to share. Its actually very good value. Feeding 4 for a fiver each.

I’ve actually been in to this place and its great tasting food. I had a Sloppy Jo burger by itself and the ribs meal. I can’t believe they are selling ribs, corn, onion rings, chips and coleslaw for £5.99. Surely that must go up at some point.
Here is the Sloppy Jo burger meal. Thats great value too. The pulled pork and chili is delicious and the burger is the nicest I’ve tasted in a while. That’s £5.75.
That looks ridiculous! Bargain for £20 but I reckon it’s impossible for anyone but pros.

5 of us are going to try this on Friday.
Under no illusions of any of actually finishing it though. Should be fun at least.
4 people have attempted it so far but the most anyone ate was 5.5lbs.

Is that not a bit wasteful? Fair enough if you get close but if you are going to be no where near, you may as well not bother ordering one each.
Wasteful?
In what respect.
The restaurant don’t care if any food is left they still get their £20.
I don’t care if any food is left I’ll be spending my own £20.
It’s a bit of fun and shall be treated as such.
Wasteful in the fact that, none of you will get close or even expect to. Even if you all got half way, assuming 8lbs of food, you are still wasting 20lb of nice food overall 🙁
Each to their own though and people waste stuff all the time. Just with eating challenges, people get grief for it.
I wouldn’t grief anyone for it, and wouldn’t expect it other than from holier than thou (think of the children in Africa) people.
Like I said everyone knows what they are giving and getting so no issue with it.
It’s the taking part that counts…..
