Craig’s Eating Competitions
Timmy O’Tooles- The Big Timmy Challenge. Big Burger, with fries and onion rings. The burger is tasty as hell, I recommend eating it first, then work your way through the onion rings and fries. It costs $20 whether you win or lose. Winners receive a t-shirt. There is no time-limit. Difficulty Level: 6/10

Lucky Sandwich Company- 3 Overstuffed Sandwich Challenge. 3 Large Sandwiches stuffed with 4oz of meat, coleslaw, and fries. All sandwiches, plus anything that falls out of them, must be finished, it’s the clean plate rule. Just try and smash it. Finish Sandwiches within 1hr, get the third free plus a t-shirt and a spot on the Wall of Fame. Finish Sandwiches within 30 mins, get all free plus a t-shirt and a spot on the Wall of Fame. I got close, then vomited uncontrollably! Difficulty Level: 9/10

Paddy Long’s- Bacon Bomb Challenge. Five Pounds of ground sausage, pork and beef mixed with spices and wrapped in a weave of brown sugar bacon, also a large side of fries. You have 45 mins to finish the lot, by yourself! Winners receive a t-shirt, a spot on the Wall of Fame, and the Bacon Bomb for free. Difficulty level: 10/10. Although I haven’t attempted this one, the sheer sight of it makes me feel sick. I bet it tastes good though.

Centro- 2 separate challenges. The 5lb burger challenge, and the Inferno Wing challenge. Basicly, you can guess what they are (very difficult). I have not been here to try them, so you will have to ask the server for details. Good luck to anyone that gives it a go.
Look up the directions to these places if you think you have what it takes. Good luck.
