Follow Singapore Investment Immigration and follow Singapore Life: A restaurant in Singapore recently launched a “Man vs Food Challenge,” where challengers must finish a 1-kilogram burger and fries within 20 minutes to receive the meal for free. Over the two weeks of the competition, only four people participated, and only one succeeded.
The Meat Packing District at Summons Coffee Shop, located at Block 261 Waterloo Street, launched the “Man vs Food Challenge” last month. Challengers are required to finish a 1kg burger containing six meat patties, along with all the fries on the plate, within 20 minutes. If successful, the burger is free; if they fail, they must pay for the meal.
Keith (33), the stall owner who successfully completed the challenge in 17 minutes, said: “I launched this challenge because I had a friend who, every time he came to eat burgers, would finish one patty and then add another, eventually adding up to five. I wondered if anyone could break that record, so I organized this challenge.”
So far, four people have taken part in the challenge, and only one has succeeded.
The successful challenger is Chen Xuweidian (in his 20s, a direct sales professional). He said: “The challenge is quite difficult, but it feels great to succeed! I am not a big eater, but I eat very quickly, which is why I was able to complete the challenge.”
Chen Xuweidian is a member of the Singapore Food Fighter Club and often seeks out such competitions to challenge himself. He completed the challenge in 17 minutes and 8 seconds, becoming the first winner.
