Gut-busting 8in burger challenge to devour in just ten minutes

At eight inches high, this gigantic burger is a real contender for the title of the UK's tallest burger.

Weighing in with a gut-busting 3,000 calories more than an entire daily intake of calories for a man - the burger is being sold as part of an eating challenge at the at the Red Dog Saloon in Hoxton.

To take part in the challenge, contestants in the Devastator Burge Challenge must eat the entire burger, with accompanying fries and milkshake in under ten minutes.

The burger, which weighs almost 1kg, is made up of a burger bun, lettuce, 'Red Dog' sauce, onions, three 6oz beef patties, six slices of American cheese, six rashers of bacon and pulled pork.

The challenge has been going for about three or four months. Out of those who have taken part about 5 per cent complete it. Those who manage to defeat the burger earn their photo on the wall of fame behind the restaurant's bar area.
