Murphy's Law Monster Breakfast Challenge

COULD you eat this breakfast in half an hour?

If you fancy your chances then Murphy’s Law bar in Athlone is the place to go. They are offering punters the pictured plate of monster breakfast fodder for FREE - if they can finish it in half an hour.

The rules are simple - punters have just 30 minutes to clear the plate and their friends can’t help.

The plate includes - Four slices of brown bread Four rashers, Four sausages, Four cuts of black pudding, four of white pudding, Four fried eggs, Four grilled tomato halves, Four hash browns, a small portion of beans, a fair smattering of chips, lots of fried mushrooms, tea, toast and a biscuit.

Murphy’s Law manager PJ Kelly told breakingnews.ie that the breakfast challenge has been phenomenally popular since being introduced - but only one man has managed to conquer it.

“It was a local lad from just down the road here who did it in 22 minutes,” PJ said. “He was on the back of a serious fitness buzz and was after losing six or seven stone - so he was well up for it.” According to PJ, at least ten or 12 people a day are tempted to give it a go.

Pass the challenge and the breakfast is free while the successful person will also get a free t-shirt and their face on the pub’s Facebook Wall of Fame. If you fail the challenge,  you pay €13.95 and have your picture posted in their Facebook Hall of Shame.

Next month professional eating machine Randy Santel - the successor to Man Vs Food’s Adam Richman - arrives in town to take up the challenge.
