Close to 100 people have tried to eat a massive burger served at a Surrey pub, but only two have risen to the timed challenge.
Competitive eaters Joel Hansen and Scott Eats each consumed the Blarney Stone burger at DonegalB次元官网网址檚 Irish House in recent years B次元官网网址� twice each, in fact.
The challenge involves eating the six-patty monster in under 30 minutes. Do that and the $55 burger is free.
B次元官网网址淧eople also get a T-shirt and bragging rights,B次元官网网址� pub operator Daniel Cook said. B次元官网网址淎t this point, anyone who does it would be the first, other than those two professional eaters.B次元官网网址�
Launched about a dozen years ago, the big burger includes six beef patties, eight ounces of pulled pork, six slices of cheddar cheese, a half-pound of bacon, fried mushrooms, deep-fried pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, red onion and a plate of fries.
On Wednesday (Aug. 9), one man attempted the Challenge.
B次元官网网址淗e got close, got a good way through it, but couldnB次元官网网址檛 do it,B次元官网网址� Cook reported. B次元官网网址淗e was the first guy in a bit, and during COVID we actually pulled it off our menu, so people have to know about it to order this burger.

B次元官网网址淲e want to get back into promoting it again because you know, it is a fun challenge,B次元官网网址� Cook added. B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檝e had around a half-dozen people try it since COVID.B次元官网网址�
Competitive eaters Hansen and Eats, from Ontario and Kelowna, respectively, filmed their Blarney Stone challenges for their YouTube channels.
Hansen consumed his burger in under six minutes the first time he tried, in the fall of 2020.

B次元官网网址淭here are two versions of the burger, starting with the original one we launched 12 years ago or so,B次元官网网址� Cook explained. B次元官网网址淭hat was eight inches around and had a custom-made bun. It was an absolute monster and nobody could touch it. So we ended up retiring that one about seven years ago and bringing in the newer version, a little bit easier, on a standard bun, a tall stack.B次元官网网址�
The current burger is what Hansen and Eats first ate at DonegalB次元官网网址檚.
B次元官网网址淪o those guys came in, they beat my new burger, and then we got chatting with them about it and we said, B次元官网网址極h, we used to have this other one that was even bigger,B次元官网网址� and they got all excited and arranged to come back at a later date and try to the original one, which they also took down a few months later.B次元官网网址�
Cheekily, they ordered and ate cheesecake after their first successful Blarney Stone challenge in 2020.
B次元官网网址淚t was unbelievable,B次元官网网址� Cook recalled. B次元官网网址淭heyB次元官网网址檝e trained, they know what theyB次元官网网址檙e doing. You watch a lot of guys come in and they fumble their way through it, but those guys, they had a system down and powered through the whole thing.B次元官网网址�
