The Fatburger XXXL Challenge - 10/17/13:

Sean and I were just saying how hungry we were when Danny invited us to eat at Fatburger with him. We'd been thinking about trying their XXXL burger challenge for awhile and we'd never been hungrier when eating at Fatburger so we decided that tonight was the night!

Fatburger - Sunset Station
1301 W Sunset Rd
Henderson, NV

For those who aren't familiar with the XXXL challenge, the rules are simple: You have one hour to eat their 1.5lb XXXL burger. Toppings such as tomatoes, pickles, mustard, onions, cheese, etc are optional but you have to finish the bread and meat. (In my personal opinion, it's much easier to down that meat and bread if you have at least a few other toppings to moisten it up.) You have to complete the challenge alone; no one else can help you eat the burger and there are no joint awards, though you can do the challenge at the same time as your friends. Succeed and you get a XXL Challenge certificate and your picture on their XXXL Challenge wall of fame!

XXXL burgers in all their glory:
Anyway, the 3 of us got to Fatburger hungry as hell. Danny didn't want to do the challenge with us but Sean and I figured it was now or never! We didn't think we stood a chance but we were prepared to give it our best shot. I was thinking we'd get about 10 minutes in, be 1/4 of the way through, and have to call it quits. Boy, were we wrong! See for yourself here:


For those of you too busy or lazy to watch the video the answer is yes, Sean and I did pull through and finish our beastly XXXL burgers. We got our certificates to prove it!:
Make sure you check out our pic on the Wall of Fame when you go down to the Sunset Station Fatburger to try it yourself. :)
