    I like tall burgers. I’ve eaten one with two pounds of beef (8 quarter pounders, almost a kilo) with cheese on each patty, a pound of bacon, a whole tomato, and a bunch of onion and lettuce, all on a standard size bun. It also came with two kilos of chili cheese fries. 10/10, would eat again.

        I was on vacation in Florida with the family and popped into a beach burger place. I hadn’t planned for it but saw it was a challenge they had, it cost $30 but if you could eat it in 20 minutes you got a $30 gift card for another meal and your name on the wall.

        They gave me credit for beating it but to be honest I would say I was five seconds late, I had a tiny bit left to swallow. It was also SUPER hot temperature-wise when I got it, and I love boiling coffee but it was a barrier. Even as I finished the chili cheese fries at the very end of 20 minutes, they were extremely hot.

        We got the gift card and fed most of the family with it a couple of days later. The place closed during COVID though so I can’t do it again. I’m no pro, but I’ve tried seven eating challenges and only failed one, and on my failure I was very hungover.
