The meal itself is worth $30 which is about 7000 LKR if you finish meal is free and you get free t-shirt; if you don’t end up finishing you pay for the meal and get to leave with some shame.

The city of poutine so it’s not surprising that you walked in here to find poutine which is consist of 5 pounds fries, cheese curds, sausages, fried chicken and caramelized onions and a massive 2-pound burger alongside of beer and ice cream float. Now this is very calorie heavy meal with over 10000+ calorie meter. You also only get one hour to finish said meal.

#2) The 72-Ounce Steak Challenge – The Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo, Texas
The 72-Ounce Steak Challenge – The Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo, Texas
- Everything is bigger in Texas indeed. This fine dining establishment has been open since the 1960s. And the legend has it the owner back in the day was making these for the cowboys to see who can eat the most. Few decades later here we are still trying to see who can finish it the fastest. Rules are as followed. You need to eat a meal that includes a 72-ounce steak, shrimp cocktail, baked potato, salad, roll, and butter in 60 minutes without getting up. 72 oz pure red meat is no joke and it must take a heavy toll on the body itself. Because of that people have got sick from eating too much so you will lose if you aren’t feeling well. You must pay the $85 before you start. They will fully refund you’re money if you do win. Along with getting the money back you will also get a picture on the wall of shame a free t shirt and a cowboy boot mug to take home with you as an award. And if that’s not enough you also get an official certificate. The $85 dollars roughly add up to 17000 LKR and considering the cut of meat and the taste pro eaters describe it seems worth every penny. There have been more than few people who have completed this includes, Randy Santel, Matt Stonie and Beard meet Food.
#1) The Godzilla Roll Challenge – 4858 Bill Gardner Pkwy, Locust Grove, GA 30248
- Just by the name of this you can imagine the sheer size and volume of this sushi roll. If you’re fan of sushi this might be the exactly what you need to try. But it is if you have a spare $150 which is roughly 30000LKR. The Godzilla is a made out of every single sushi meat that they use in the restaurant. This 6-pound roll is topped with avocado’s, crispy crab wontons to make it look like the Godzilla is dead on the plate itself. All though I must say the work of art is beautiful and I hope the taste reflects that. You have 45 mins to finish this insane roll or you would have to pay the amount of $150. And picture on the wall of shame. Now if you do end up finishing it by some miracle you get the whole meal for free. And a t-shirt to show off for the rest of your life. Once again one of the few people to finish this is Mr. Randy Santel. He is someone who goes around North America absolutely destroying food challenges.
