Thread: Here's a 'tall' story

Wouldnt happen to have been you would it Al?

mate thats just an entree! was in Buxton a wahile back and they have a big burger called the tower burger, its fairly big, then they have another one called the cathedral burger. now I had been eating pretty well in the days leading up to it (meaning I had a bessa brick stuck in my guts,) So walked in with the guy I was working with and he gets into challenging me. Bassically he ordered the Tower burger I order the Cathedral burger (I will post pics when I can get em off my phone.) and I order a bowl of chips (The bowl they came in was a bowl big enough to present a garden salad for 4 people!)

Now the bun for said burgers was roughly the size of a normal dinner plate and the cathedral burger stood nearly a foot tall, I finished the lot in a fairly speedy time (chips as well) old mate opposite couldn't even finish his happy meal (tower burger) needless to say his nickname now is "happy meal"

"Vertical food?"

I had a few 750 gram T-Bones at the aratula pub when I was up there a while ago the cook was astounded when I asked what the main course was and told her the tbone was a good entree. needless to say she just about emptied the tub of ice cream when I ordered dessert!

I'll only do it if I get 45 minutes and lots of mustard for the steak and mayo for the chips...

Not such a tall story, there is a pub at the back of where I live (behind the hinterland) that used to say the meal was free if eaten in the short timeframe, but they had to stop as my young engineers & workmen were eating free 5 days a week

I went in a pub down Brighton way where they used to feed a weightlifter for nothing as everyone would come in to watch him eat - huge plate absolutely stacked.
Cheers,

Dunno if they still do it, but there's a chain of curry restaurants here that will give you the meal if you finish it in a set time. Gotta order the largest serving though.

Menu is funny too. They have 10 levels of 'hot' in the curry, level 1 says something like "yellow coloured stew" and it escalates to level 10 being "you will catch fire, an ambulance will be called".

Surprising to see such a sense of humour and adventure here.


Then again, this is the land of the $5 "roll out the door" lunch...

I like the fact that people are generally funny and given the chance they do show it. I prefer to have have a joke with someone then to be all serious and stern.

Over at Streaky Bay there's a shop who boast the "West Coast Whopper" is free if you can eat it all... I doubt anyone could, Im a big eater and doubt if I could eat half!

Here's the recipe
