Thirteen pounds and 10,000 calories: the challenge to eat Bangkok’s biggest burger. More here:

BANGKOK - A Bangkok burger joint has become an internet sensation after YouTubers started challenging each other to eat its biggest meal - a near 6kg patty covered in fried onion rings, bacon and mayonnaise.

Chris Steaks and Burgers is offering a 10,000 baht prize for anyone who can finish the mammoth snack in nine minutes - one baht for every calorie. Owner Komdech Kongsuwan, who says it is the country’s biggest burger, dreamed up the contest after three customers managed the feat. New challengers are coming through the door every day.

Among them was Pakorn Porncheewangkoon, who failed to finish the burger in time. “I will eat a burger at some point , but not any time soon,” he said.Additional reporting by Vorasit Satienlerk; Editing by Andrew Heavens

Yeah! let’s race to eating the biggest burger, let’s pretend there’s no climate crisis challenge, let’s forget how meat contributes, much less the cruelty! Fun, fun, fun!

Where is Joey Chestnut when you need him?

Thank you my friend America 🇺🇸 for export obesity to world 🙏🏾

Why report on gluttony?

I’ll take one

WTF Who would try to eat that in 9 min unless you have like 10 people attempting Potentially winning $200 some odd dollars after you’ve already spent $82 doesn’t seem worth it but go for it.

Stupid Thailand! Need to catch up on Malaysia😬

Imagine what your next couple days are like and your plumbing bill.

A sign of the times, YouTube is a good barometer of what's important to the most intellectual on the internet. Mind-blowing stuff.

Why make food ppl cannot finish while so many starving

illied

Obscene

I have a thing of burgers..

What's for pudding?

82dollar! Sounds quite reasonable for 6kilo!

That's just wrong.

We are on the decline as a species. 🤦‍♂️

Dead trap!!!

Yeah, great and a few thousand miles away the children die of hunger. Sick! GoVegan

Hold my beer... I'm on my way. 😁💪🍔

...........siguienteeeeeeeeeee

Honestly that has to hurt! Now imagine when those Bangkoki’s push that 💩 out! 🤮

Sounds healthy.

Stupidity, meanwhile the planet heat up and resources are lost.

This is gluttony!

la grande bouffe 1973 eat yourself to death because you have nothing else to do.

Gluttony is still gluttony even if you do it under the guise of a 'challenge'.

Gal-Sone, a Japanese famous female competitive eater, can eat it very easily, I think.

disgusting.. its not eating its cannibalism :( stop promoting this type of food waste..

Disgusting.

Can we kill anyone involved in this

Typical Western foods. Can you imagine that if you did not burn these 10,000 calories? You will gain 5 pounds of fat at least.

Maybe...I can eat this burger for a week....

WTF 😱

Absolute wasteful excess.
