El Guapo's First Annual (Women Only) Giant-Ass Burrito Eating Challenge

One of the interns at my work recently challenged me to a 2 lb burrito eating contest. I scoffed at her. "You're entering a man's world, sweetheart. El Guapo will never lose to a woman in anything, especially in an eating contest." The next day we went to Chipotle and ordered burritos weighing in at 2 LBs 1.5 oz and 2 LBs 7.6 oz respectively. Needless to say, Sheila the intern put up a valiant effort but obviously she was no match for the man-sized appetite of El Guapo. I am confident that no woman can beat my record. Therefore I am officially issuing a challenge to all the women of the world. Eat a Chipotle burrito bigger than 2 LB 7.6 oz in one sitting under 45 minutes. I will send a $10 Chipotle gift card to the first woman to upload proof of this accomplishment. Good luck ladies. You're gonna need it.

Sheila’s burrito weighs in at an impressive 2 lbs 1.5 oz.

Burrito ingredients: double chicken, double veggies, double rice, double medium salsa, double pico de gallo, TRIPLE sour cream.

Sheila’s Strategy: “Layer on the sour cream. It has the highest weight-to-volume ratio of all Chipotle items”

The Placing of the wager

Eating Technique: Drinking Bird

El Guapo

I try to remain stoic. I look excited in this picture, like I’m ready to embark on a journey of a lifetime but in reality I was scared shitless by the challenge that lied ahead.

El Guapo’s burrito takes the cake at 2 lbs 7.6 oz

Burrito ingredients: double rice, double beans, double corn, double salsa, double pico de gallo, double sour cream (hold the lettuce) TRIPLE meat.

My strategy: Avoid lettuce. It just takes up space. Instead, substitute lettuce for more meat.

The burrito is the size of _?
a) a football
b) a small baby
c) just your average sized taco in Texas

Eating Technique: Hungry Wolf

Widget_agvafuu-zgrjebm_rrrwnt

El Guapo style: Bring burrito to face. Put as much in mouth at one time as possible. Try not to throw up.

Minute 15

At minute 15, I begin to sweat profusely due in part from the salsa, but mostly from the fear…

Minute 30

Minute 35

Hooray for gluttony!

Actually it was more of a bittersweet victory — I had conquered my Everest. But I was in so much pain at this point I couldn’t even force a smile…

Hello fellow burrito eating champions! I’d like to make an advanced acceptance of your burrito challenge for when I’m in Chicago for the summer (at least I hope to be, I’m on an internship/job hunt currently…) I don’t want to scare you, but I’ve downed a 7 pound burrito in 1.2 hours at a place called Bandido’s down here in North Carolina, so I THINK I can make this happen :) I’ve even got a picture of me in my XXXL burrito-dominator shirt to prove it (apparently they’e not used to 125 lb girls finishing- no S shirts:[ ) Bust our your stretchy pants cause I’m ready for a challenge!

Hey Sheila and team – we here at crowdSPRING think our intern Laura is WAY awesomer than yours and can scarf that burrito down in 30 minutes flat…and do 10 jumping jacks when she’s done! Up for the challenge? We’d love to have Sheila and Laura meet at a Chipotle and El Guapo and I can be the official judges. You up for it?

I wanna work where you work. Do you have a crocheter-in-residence position that needs to be filled?
