Man V Food is one of those weirdly addictive TV shows that you and your mates will end up binge watching all day when hungover.
You get to watch this man push his body to the absolute limit with a series of exceedingly outrageous challenges, and all from the safety of your own couch! Anyone familiar with the series knows that from time to time you find yourself thinking: ‘that doesn’t look so hard, I bet I could do that’.
Well, here’s your chance to prove it! We’ve looked all over Dublin to bring you some of the greatest food challenges from all over the city - elastic waistbands at the ready!
The Great White Challenge at Aussie BBQ
Your mission should you choose to accept it is to eat as many Great White burgers as you can in 60 minutes. The current record at Aussie BBQ is standing strong at 4.5 burgers consumed in under an hour. That equates to four and a half pounds of meat along with 18 slices of bacon, 9 slices of cheese and 9 burger buns! I would crowdfund an E! True Hollywood Story on this kid and then buy it on DVD. Legendary.
You can get whatever toppings you want on the 32” pizza. However, this is probably the one and only time I’d condone ordering a Margherita, you’ve got enough on your plate, literally. You must polish off each and every slice of this beast and fit in 2 milkshakes as well to emerge victorious.
Time Limit: 32 minutes
Prize: Wall of Fame. €50 Voucher. Free meal.
Spur Steak Challenge at Rapid River Spur Steak & Grill
Wait, what’s that? You have to consume two sides as well? Ah here. We’d suggest going for the coleslaw and the corn on the cob in order to leave more room for the medium sized calf you are about to consume. The current record stands at 22 minutes which is a pretty damn hard act to follow!
Time Limit: 60 minutes
Prize: Wall of Fame, free t-shirt and the meal is on the house.

Dublin is glutted with literary magazines. They’re ten a penny; if today’s penny is actually €15 each. In 2017 Justine Carbery wrote in The Irish Independent “literary journals proved to be constant stars in a fluctuating market. Ireland, with its rich history of independent literary magazines, finds itself in rude health today with many new […]
