FINISH THIS MAC & CHEESE CHALLENGE AND THEY PUT YOUR NAME ON A PLAQUE ON THEIR WALL | BeardMeatsFood
In today's episode, we're at Funky Fries & Burgers in El Cajon, San Diego. We're having a bash at their Funky Challenge, which consists of four stacked burger patties, topped with bacon and cheese, sandwiched between two mac 'n cheese 'buns' and accompanied by an tray full of tater tots; topped with more mac 'n cheese, grilled chicken and hot sauce...
If you can get it all down inside thirty minutes, you get the $50 meal FREE, a t-shirt, a snapback and a plaque mounted on their wall apparently. I didn't see any plaques on their wall, but that could be because the only victors so far attempted this at their other location. Either way, we're gonna try our darnedest to become the third winner!

Evening folks! Thanks for dropping in for another episode… Today it’s the last episode in California before we jump over to Nevada and we’ve got a bit of a crowd to boot… I’ll see you on Thursday for an old fashioned mid-week episode, where I’ll be ruining the local book club’s lunchtime meet up! Big cuddles, your old mate BMF :)
