I Conquered the RIDICULOUS Challenge!


There's a new burger resto aptly called Burger Avenue at the Antel Life Style City along Makati Avenue. For those who are burger fanatic or just love to eat, you will be so happy they have an eating challenge called the Ridiculous Challenge. To make the long story short, I conquered the challenge with flying colors. My picture is now among the few displayed at their bulletin board who also conquered the challenge of eating the humongous burger in less than 5 minutes. Maybe I will not eat any beef products for a week as even more than 6 hours had past I can still taste the flavor of the beef. On the bright side, because of that challenge my lunch today was free, hehehe.

Here are the mechanics (taken from an article posted by Beatriz Acosta at www.clickthecity.com. You will find also the photographs I used here in that article):


" Make your way to the counter and order yourself a Ridiculous Burger (P200+) - three big, thick, juicy patties in one burger. This burger is actually a steal at 200 pesos - most burger joints offer the same price just for one patty with a sauce of your choice. Now, back to the burger. It is ridiculous and action-packed with its three all-beef patties, a hefty stuffing of lettuce and tomatoes. And to top it all off, three slices of cheese."

"Just inform the people at the counter that you are taking on the Ridiculous Challenge, and they will whip up their timer. Finish the burger within five minutes, ring the bell, and you get a full refund! Yep, a free burger if you can chomp on it before the time is up. And before you go on exclaiming, "That's ridiculous!", it sort of is not, as a good and growing number of people have triumphed over the huge burgers. Burger Avenue has a 'Hall of Fame' of sorts on their wall. They've got photos of the people who gobbled up the burgers in record time, proving that indeed, you can do it!"

So what are you waiting for? Go there and beat my record, I'm sure it is not the best time so it is really viable specially for buffet fanatics. Believe me, after eating that burger there's still room left for dessert :-)
