Will I enjoy it? To begin with, I’ll enjoy the food, Later on, I’ll enjoy the challenge aspect.
I agree it is a disgusting amount of food and a silly thing to do, but that leads me to why I am doing it. Because it’s there and if I dont try, I’ll never know. (How many times have you seen something and thought, yeah, I could do that) It’s a challenge, it’s going to be tough, and I’ll feel terrible afterwards. Much like any sporting, daring or other apparently more ‘noble’ challenges.
Why not give £40 worth of food to homeless people? Seriously? Do you have this debate every time you go out for a meal or an evenings entertainment? (awaits the ‘I never go out, ever.’ response).
On the quality of the steak front, that did worry me. Then thinking about it, this is a restaurant that is known for its great steak, so why would their ‘flagship’ steak try to ruin it. Also, the challenge is clearly a promotional tool, they are always on about it on FB and twitter and its always talked about on forums on the subject, so I dont think they will be adding much to their cost to try and maintain the quality of steak, whilst not pricing folk out of trying. (They did a promo on the launch weekend, £20 to try!)
It won’t fit in my tiny human belly? Since the challenge started 10 days ago, 12 have tried, 3 have succeeded. In the 20 years before when it was just the steak, thousands tried, a couple of thousand succeeded.
