Free Steak in Newbury

Geoff

Off the M4 to the west of London.

Generous helpings. There is a catch.

Other restaurants do it too around the world.

World record is 7:16 minutes - see YouTube.

although that isn't the best cut of meat the could use ?

Hmmm, I should be able to do it. But I have a feeling I might also need an extra 10-15 minutes but I could do it easy enough.

But I also think it's one of those things you only do once a year (or five years :lol: )

I remember an episode of The Simpsons with similar topic... That time Homer won the challenge! :-)

VanTammen

I think it all comes down to the amount of fries and sort of salad...

I would easily eat that stake, but I would pass the salad & the fries!

fog

yep Juan , where he had homer become the truck driver.. :)

there is some con to it so you can't win.. a normal steak is, hhm 10 or so Oz? so your looking at what 7-8 steaks

you have to eat ALL of it , including the fat... and they side dish, might have to also on that..

or they could add a LOT of salt to it to make you drink more etc.. there's loads of little legal tricks they could do.. obvious it's a business, so am sure they thought it thru.. me I'd turn up with a coach full of bulky athletes / boxers who eat a stupid amount of protein when in training

they choose where you sit.. so if you look like you could eat it, no doubt they'll put you next to the toilet door and do stuff to put you off.

there is too many rules in their favour that make it seem , skewed and unfair to say the least...

and when ya done with that lot.. have a nice breakfast

when you set up your burger van, you will have to run over a couple of kids, that'll get you in the paper.

the burger van will start when you open your kebab shop / boozy starts his curry house / normando starts a salad bar

:)

things are looking up , I sold a "fred" and "rebelstar" .. not quite the ?2,000,000 I'd like ,but well it's ?2 less now :)

this gave me a chuckle though

if you come to london DON'T eat the food off the street from unlicensed burger/hot dog blokes.. it's the smell of cooking onions they use to draw you in.. but well they don't wash their hands and the stuff they "cook" is at best re-heats.

I've almost gone to Doncaster , I have friends there... I should go see the "open all hours " shop .. well the house that was the shop :D

Pah! In years gone by, those filthy hot dog stalls saved the day on many occasions - at 2am waiting for the night bus from Trafalgar Square they were pretty much the only available option for food. So what if they contain eyeballs, b*llocks, and e.coli? Gives you something to blame for feeling rough the next day other than the beer. They are a national institution and should be applauded! :)

Yep, I've been out with friends in London who've looked at me aghast when I buy a burger off a street vendor - like I'd taken something out of a bin. But bloody lovely they are. Though I prefer the caravan/trailer ones to the carts - more toppings. And chips. In fact, there was one in Southampton that did wedges. Mmm.

Yeah. I'm pretty sure the main reason the gubmint (and therefore the police) are so anti them is that the guys who run them don't pay business rates or tax. Same with the "unlicenced" minicabs that they'd have us believe are all operated by rapists and murderers.
