Australia day 2008, 7pm. The time had come to face the Inaugural 1kg Caxton Hotel Steak Challenge. The Challenge: Finish a 1kg Rump, salad and potato in one sitting. The Prize: a "goodies" bag (they wouldn't tell us what was in it). After plenty of pints and a few Vodka's at the bar, it was time to head down to the restaurant. Would I be able to tackle one of the newest, largest steak challenges in Brisbane?

From Designboom's "Dining in 2015" design competition comes this device above, created by an Iranian team that says, "Your car exhaust is a barbeque now.. Stop the car when you are hungry, install the device to the exhaust and back to drive. You'll have a hamburger in no time. This way you don't need fuel for cooking while commuting and a large amount of energy would be saved."

Christopher has a plan, and he wants you to be a part of it. He wants to start the trend of Supersized Combo Burgers, taking the signature burgers from well known restaurant chains and making them into Supersized Burger Towers! Behold his first effort! This is the McWhopperMacDoubleCheeseFries. It's a "first draft", in that he's got something else in the works that he's hoping to send in very soon. Could this be the start of something big? Are you man enough to create the ultimate burger tower?

From: Christopher via Email

Thanks Michael B for this one! It's called, "The Turdumalguinpheaspartpigewoodsniken", or put simply, a 10 bird roast. Remember the Turducken? Well instead of just a chicken inside a duck inside a Turkey, this one has Woodcock, Partridge, Pigeon, Pheasant, Guinea Fowl, Mallard, Chicken, Ailsbury Duck, and a Goose, all inside a monster Turkey!

Thanks Anon for this one! Can bacon get any fatter? It can if you deep fry it! These guys ground bacon, wrapped it around some Mozzarella Cheese, battered it, deep fried it, then served it on a bun with some deep fried Jalapenos. I'm surprised they didn't just deep fry the whole damn thing!

Our goal today - one pound of bacon, stuffed with cheese, deep-fried, topped with more cheese.

EMPIRE STATE BURGER
Triple hamburger bun, two beef burgers, chicken fillet, bacon, cheddar cheese, red onion, tomato, lettuce, pickle, fresh pineapple, chimichurri sauce, herb and lime-mint mayonnaise dip and french fries.

Doesnt it sound nice? Normally it costs 21.70 in finnish restaurant caled Memphis, but this month you get 2 for 1 from the list... So i had to go and test it out with my gf.

Sounds nice and big, costed only about 10 euros which is a bargain, but didnt make me full... Even tho its a huge burger! Took me like 20 minutes to finish. Faster than my gf her ordinary dish :) Photos are bad tho, bad lighting and a really bad phonecamera, but still... You get the thrill. I have to go and eat another one, the taste was near perfect. Check the pics!

It's times like these I wish I could speak Japanese. There's a Japanese game show called "Food Battle Club" that is beyond awesome. It's kinda like a cross between Iron Chef and Street Fighter, and is all about who can eat the most and/or the fastest in a series of different events. In this particular excerpt of the show, contestants are asked who can drink the most Coffee Milks in the one sitting. Whoever bids the highest has to attempt the feat. Failing I would assume would mean elimination? Anyway, enough talk, more drinking coffee milks!
