If @ExtremeEatsUK could personify it's motto in one challenge, this would be the exemplar.

And now we have the 10 minute wait. Christian claims it's like walking to the gallows. Only it smells worse. @ExtremeEatsUK
— ExtremeEats (@ExtremeEatsUK) May 7, 2014
After 10 minutes, the challenge will start. He's trying to decide which one to start with first.
— ExtremeEats (@ExtremeEatsUK) May 7, 2014
Christian reckons that the burger can be done in a minute. We aren't so sure. pic.twitter.com/tZI5oTzSIX
— ExtremeEats (@ExtremeEatsUK) May 7, 2014
And we are ready to go…
— ExtremeEats (@ExtremeEatsUK) May 7, 2014
And he's started with the burger. Already in with the paper towel to wipe his mouth.
— ExtremeEats (@ExtremeEatsUK) May 7, 2014
Just over 1 minute with the burger.
— ExtremeEats (@ExtremeEatsUK) May 7, 2014
In with the hot dog… pic.twitter.com/eM5Z3vc9hw
— ExtremeEats (@ExtremeEatsUK) May 7, 2014
He's scraping the topping off. Risky.
— ExtremeEats (@ExtremeEatsUK) May 7, 2014
3 minutes in. Almost done the hot dog..
— ExtremeEats (@ExtremeEatsUK) May 7, 2014
But he left the all too dense bun. Fool.
— ExtremeEats (@ExtremeEatsUK) May 7, 2014
4 minutes. He's starting to slow down.
— ExtremeEats (@ExtremeEatsUK) May 7, 2014
Half way through. On to the fries. This might be his down fall.
— ExtremeEats (@ExtremeEatsUK) May 7, 2014
He's resorting to creating balls of fries. Only at #Meatliquor. pic.twitter.com/1AIQYjMS1C
— ExtremeEats (@ExtremeEatsUK) May 7, 2014
7 minutes. In….
— ExtremeEats (@ExtremeEatsUK) May 7, 2014
He's thrown in the towel. With about 2 minutes 35 seconds left. pic.twitter.com/xrl7tD8n6w
— ExtremeEats (@ExtremeEatsUK) May 7, 2014
He just ducked into the toilets. Praying to the porcelain altar maybe?
— ExtremeEats (@ExtremeEatsUK) May 7, 2014
Our very nice waitress just told us that only 1 in 5 people get close to even finishing it. We blame the hotdog bun. pic.twitter.com/nCswDwgoE4
— ExtremeEats (@ExtremeEatsUK) May 7, 2014
The gallant loser… pic.twitter.com/vKFSYffBF7
— ExtremeEats (@ExtremeEatsUK) May 7, 2014
He still reckons he could have done it.
