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.

Nah. It’s impossible to easy a 30 pound burrito. So they get free press and sell the challenge to a few idiots.
Yeah, and don’t skimp on the pâté.
Why not just buy the freakin’ steak?
Or in the case of Michael Moore, the entire cow.
LOL
Maître d’: “Ah, good afternoon, sir; and how are we today?”
Mr Creosote: “Better.”
Maître d’: “Better?”
Mr Creosote: “Better get a bucket, I’m gonna throw up.”
Wouldn’t the beans expand and....Kaboom?
Act out the sin of gluttony for all to see. Pathetic!
It looks like a baby seal.
Hmmm ... looks like they did a pretty good job of cleaning the blood off from the clubbing, too
they're called his kitchen.
Yep. Not possible at all to eat a 30 pound burrito in under an hour. Probably not even a day. Most food challenges that you see on TV are typically about five pounds of pizza,ice cream, meat,etc... No way 30 could work.
I remember reading some years back of a woman who did rupture her stomach as a result of eating some 18 pounds of food. I don’t have the book any more, so can’t provide a reference.
I agree that most people would not be able to do such a thing.
Let me get this straight. You eat the burrito and then they give you a free stake? I didn't know Mexican Restaurants had stakes. They could give away a blender. You know Mexican Restaurants have blenders for making Margaritas.
I think several others have it right. No human being can eat 30 pounds of food in one hour. I think that the contestants are paying $150 for a giant burrito and lots of left-overs if they can stand the sight of a burrito after this.
You're thinking of steaks. Stakes are what are used to keep the tent from flying away.
I hope that stuff on the near side is black beans ...
Looks like a badly made meatloaf or a baby blamonge
Patrick Bertoletti eat 21 pounds of Grits in 10 minutes.
I got heartburn just looking at the picture.
In my Emily Litella voice, ‘nevermind.” ;^)
