"That burrito was a good appetizer. Now were's my entree?"

A 30-pound burrito and one margarita are the only things standing between you and owning part of a restaurant.
That's the pitch one Mexican restaurant in Brooklyn has for the brave at heart (and stomach). For $150, Don Chingon patrons can take a stab at eating the toddler-size burrito made with steak, chicken, pork, rice, beans, salsa and drinking a ghost pepper margarita. Upon successful completion, the challenge's winner will get 10 percent ownership of the restaurant.(snip)
Robey expects only the best competitive eaters to be able to handle such a challenge by themselves. Small groups can win prizes such as cash and t-shirts but not a stake in the restaurant, he said.

"While we don't just want to give away the restaurant, we do want someone with that kind of eating credibility to come in and give it their best shot," he said.(snip)
Complicating matters, contestants must complete the challenge in under an hour without any bathroom breaks or discharge of bodily fluids. The restaurant also will not accept responsibility for illness or death incurred while participating in the challenge.

"That burrito was a good appetizer. Now were's my entree?"
There was a restaurant that did this in Colorado that seemed like a great deal. However, when I looked into it it turned out they had a bunch of debt from fines for hiring illegal aliens. So even if I had somehow gotten a restaurant for $100, I would have been on the hook for thousands from the get go.
I'm thinking something similar is going on here.
MM probably owns a chain of these restaurants already.
"BRING. IT. ON."
It’s kind of sad that we used to have innocent and fun pie eating contests and such at local festivals and county fairs. Now we have ‘competitive eaters’ that take all the fun out of it.
The contests get bigger and bigger, I wonder when someone will finally rupture their gut and die a horrible death during one of these things. It seems that 6 pounds of food in a sitting is the upper limit. Not sure how they will tackle 30 pounds....
Ping...or not.
its impossible and the owner opens the business to a huge liability in challenging someone to do it.
"Where's my buttito?! Where's my burrito?!"
Sounds to me like a heart attack waiting to happen………..
Smart that they have that disclaimer in there. In 2007, a woman competing in a ‘Hold your wee for a Wii’ contest died of severe water intoxication after the contest. Why would anyone ever do this sort of thing to their body??
Nothing like enticing people to commit one the Seven Deadly Sins.
I’ll have the lot.
It’s not the burrito that’s tough to eat. It’s the wafer thin after dinner mint that gets you every time.
” Now were’s my entree?” “
A dozen Bowel Burgers Au Jus
LMAO
I'm going out on a limb and saying 30 pounds of food in one sitting is an impossibility. I assume the owner of this restaurant will have barf bags ready for anybody who tries, as this will be the end result.
