Today at work, our department had a Mas Macho Burrito Challenge. We knew that the consulting group already tried this challenge and that 5 of their 6 participants were able to finish. So a few of us went to try to claim the title for our department.

Here's what we were assigned to finish at lunch in one sitting:



The Mas Macho burrito has meat (in my case, carnitas), beans, rice, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, sour cream, and sauce in 2 layers of tortillas.

Note the size of the pepper dispenser and sugar packets in comparison to the burrito. I wouldn't be surprised if this was about 5000 calories.

Unfortunately, one of the guys couldn't finish, so we only had 4 out of 5 people in our group finish. Not wanting to fall short of the other group, 3 of us decided to one-up the other group by adding a taco onto our order.



So 3 of us finished one Mas Macho burrito and one taco, each. It's definitely the most I can remember eating in a long time, and I'm still full from the meal (over 12 hours later).

The things we do for departmental pride...
