People on this side of the pond consider something like this an appetizer.

No the biggest I've seen was Fat Sam's 2lb burger. However they were quite cunning, they based it on 8 x1/4Lb burgers so you had 8 times the salad, fries, cheese drink and sides. The bun was so huge it made the burger look small. Sadly they also cooked it for 8 times as long as a quarter pounder so it was dry and tasteless. I failed on the bun....So I didn't get the tee shirt, but it was only 1/2 price to entice wannabe gluttons

Makes me want to weep, 7lbs of alledgedly decent beef to either make some fool feel sick or to end up in the skip.

I am a trencherman with the best of them but these sort of things make me feel faintly queasy.

Sorry I know I will be shouted down by the MVF lovers, I like the show as well until it cones to "I am going to eat a burrito the size of a washing machine...."

Cheers

Has anyone finished it?

A back of the envelope calculation tells me that is about 10 or 11 pounds of food - about 5 kilos or so. I'm not sure it is possible. I can think of better ways to spend 60 quid.

No disagreement from me, I've never understood the point of food challenges

Hey guys you get a free tee shirt!!! Yes I fully agree they are probably great publicity for the establishment but 5Kg of food at one sitting!!! Let alone the cost.
MvF is a great show, but look at the first show and the latest, Adam doesn't look that well these days.

I think in the latest series he has a designated fool to attempt the challenge, some of them I am ok with like the hot chilli challenges but even those have become a bit ridiculous........this is pure chilli extract at 9.4 billion scoble units and our chefs are preparing the dish in a nuclear bunker......

I think these have been done now......

I used to love MvF but am bored of them now, after watching him do a hot chilli, big lump of meat, seafood and pudding challenge theres not much left to do but repeat it.
I like Diners, drive through and dives as you get to see a lot of the ingredients and how they smoke them etc.

I can eat a lot at certain times, right frame of mind etc but couldn't just turn up and eat something like that so for me its a waste of money but would quite happily watch and laugh at somebody trying it
