There are tonnes of food challenges kicking about, from hotdogs to gut-busting breakfasts, but none are quite as morbid as the pub who’s offering to pay for your headstone should you die from completing their monster burger challenge.
The George Pub & Grill in County Durham have come up with the ‘Big Ben Number 10 Burger’ which really sounds like it might do you some serious damage if you choose to chow down all of it. Clocking up a hefty 12,000 calories, the ten patty burger also comes with 25 bacon rashers and ten slices of American cheese with a huge portion of chips as well, setting you back £28.95. Here’s what pub owner Craig Harker had this to say about it:
This burger is absolutely stacked high with juicy meat from top to bottom – 60 oz of beef tipped with so much cheese and 25 bacon rashes. If people want, they can add a further dollop of liquid cheese over the whole dish, which – by the way – makes it even tastier.
This burger will go down as bragging rights with friends, and I can see all the big eaters going for our Big Ben Number 10.With over 12,000 calories, the meal comes with a warning to eat at your own risk, but there’s some compensation – if it kills you, we’ll pay up to £500 for your headstone.
We are the meatiest pub in the UK, serving up dishes like the UK’s biggest steak – at 220 oz – so it’s fitting to open up with a new menu where the customer can pick a host of burgers with any number of patties, from one to 10.
People can make up their own minds without having salad and healthy-eating fads rammed down their throats constantly.
I mean at least they’re covered if some fat fucker with clogged arteries comes in wanting to complete the challenge. I can imagine the meat farts after a dish like that would be enough to kill someone off.
