All this for £13.50. Thats not a bad price at all, considering you effectively get it free if you complete it. Its hard to tell from the picture how much chips and curly fries there are. At £13.50 though, I wasn’t expecting much.

So I decide to go just one afternoon for a late lunch. I was a bit hung over and had breakfast but was feeling hungry. Well, at least I thought I was.

The Burger

It does look perfectly doable. There are a fair few chips there but not a ridiculous amount. The hot sauce on the chips and onion rings was OK. It wasn’t too hot. The pulled pork was hidden in between the onion rings.

The Burger and me

So I start the challenge as I always do. I tackle the burger in stages. I take off the onion rings where the pulled pork is hidden. I get through them fine but leave the pulled pork for later. I tackle the chicken breasts next which attacking a few of the chips. This is when disaster struck. I started to feel full and not even touched any of the burger patties. I power on and manage a patty and start eating the burger in the bread cake. Thats when I throw in the towel. I’d still have loads of chips and curly fries to eat and the burger was tough going.

Failing miserably

I am not best pleased when I give up but didn’t see any point in eating for another 10 minutes just to fail. The best comment I got was “the only thing you nearly finished was the coke!” And yes, I was really that upset. I think its time to dig out the Rocky 4 soundtrack and get training. I think this challenge is perfectly doable. I’ve failed some before and thought, ‘never’ but this one is within my limits.

Looking on their Facebook page page I am the 4th failure out of 4 attempts.
