18. Attempt 5 Food Challenges - Part 2. Misty's Burger Challenge

4th September 2013

An Internet search for Melbourne food challenges was actually surprisingly limited in choice, especially compared to Queensland. Obviously people from Melbourne have more discerning tastes and prefer quality over extreme quantity. However I did manage to find a Burger challenge as something different to the Schnitzel challenge previously attempted.

The next challenge was the Burger Challenge at Misty's dinner in Prahran. A challenge of 5 Patties, 5 Slices of cheese, 5 slices of bacon, 3 buns with a load of mayo and BBQ sauce and a half serve of chili cheese fries.

This was the monstrosity that required finishing in under 14 minutes. I had no worries about the amount of food to be eaten by the ability to eat the burger quick enough to complete the challenge. Immediately coming out of the gate the burger was too hot and saucy to hold and eat properly and i knew i would struggle. Chewing became the enemy but i couldn't manage to force it down quick enough.

I kept going until the very end but feel short of the goal.

With 3 and a bit of the Patties, all the bacon, top bun and half middle bun and half the chili cheese fries I was a bit disappointed I couldn't manage to get closer in the allotted time as I wasn't feeling especially full but was beaten by my inability to push the pace and get through it quicker and some of my friends photos show the immense struggle to go faster.

In the end I had to settle for a close effort but 0 from 2 on my eating challenges. I will now be searching for a potential dessert challenge (maybe ice cream) and 2 different savoury challenges. If anyone knows of a challenge let me know.
