Sometimes you win, sometimes you do not. This time I really tried, but failure was inevitable. Annually, Fuddruckers has their 3lb Burger challenges to celebrate Fat Tuesday, and ring in the Mardi Gras celebration. At the behest of Wreckless Eating's Jeff Fu, I called and reserved my place in what would become a burger challenge history.
The Fuddruckers' 3lb challenge is pretty straightforward. The challenger is to complete a 3lb Burger (before cooking), 1lb of french fries, and all the soda or drinks you want.
I put fries on the burger to break it up, and I had grape Hi-C to wash it down. The burger was warm, salty and good at first. It was also dense and very dry. A patty that thick takes a lot of chewing.
I was halfway through the burger at 12 minutes, and I knew the fries were going to be the problem once they went cold. At one point I walked around to walk it off. Somebody asked me earlier that day if I ever get sick of hamburgers. I got sick of this one.
I quit just after the half hour. This is what failure looks like. And Jordan, you don’t have a chance in hell.

Raw and uncut (Ep. 48.5)
My subscriber, Jervon Hicks-Crymes, asked for the raw and uncut version of the challenge, so here it is.
