Nine minutes ?! I could barely finish off a standard restaurant burger in that time scale.
Needs more french fries.
My GI tract hurts just thinking about it, and I’m a pretty big dude.
Nope! No. No, I would not.
It is a job for Kinoshita San!
Are you really eating a “burger” if you pull it apart and consume each individual layer of topping by itself?
That is a literal bust your gut amount of food.
Yeesh, it’s not just the burger: you’ll need an entire onion, full head of lettuce, a couple of tomatoes, 3-4 cups of ketchup, equal amount of mustard, and a pound of sliced cheese.
So, a mild lunch?
I knew someone who might – at an earlier point in his life – been able to pull it off. He once ate two whole chickens cooling on the counter then asked his wife what was for dinner.
He wasn’t a big guy, but had an extremely physical job that burned a lot of calories. He was one of those people who made buffet meals extremely cost-effective – for him, not the restaurant.
I was interested right up until I read “mayonnaise”. Nope. Deal’s off unless they agree to hold the mayo.
I did a challenge like this when I was 24.
It was only a 3 pound patty. 1 pound of bread. Bunch of cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion. I reckon by the time we were done it was a bit under half this size. No fries though. Only 1 per person for the challenge.
I got down to about 3 bites left in just shy of 8 minutes. We had 10, and I was going to barf if I took another bite. Finished up finally in 13 after a 5 minute break.
Anyways I never went back there again. The shame of failure was too great.
That “Fuck Prayuth” shirt is quite daring, I wonder if that guy will get in trouble for that if the video gets international attention. (Some people were charged for sedition over the same shirt pre-election, don’t know about now).
There’s no way that thing is only 10000 calories.
“Eat ‘biggest burger’ in Bangkok”
Is that a euphemism for something?
7 layer dip
nearly 13 pound burger patty with fried onion rings, bacon and mayonnaise.
What, no mustard?
MONSTERS!
Somebody is missing baby cow.
That’s no burger …
I was on a press junket for a film in a weird subdivision hotel place thing outside of Dallas that had high rise hotels in the middle of nowhere and frickin’ canals and gondolas and shit (and/or maybe I was high and imagining it all) but I do recall one evening there, in one of their many restaurants, trying to eat a multi-pound porterhouse steak which was touted as:
“If you can finish it - it’s free!”
- and almost (almost) making it all the way through before learning the true lesson of the entire endeavour which was:
“What the fuck were you thinking?!”
Regardless - - - consumption is not a competition. Stop it with that shit.
