🍔BURGER CHAMPION 🏆 RIJO!!!! 🏆 Taking the win in 22minutes 49 seconds 🥇

5 contenders stepped on up 💪 Aidan, Ricky, Rijo , Grayson and Geordie

Aidz and Ricky came out firing!! Ricky smashed his first burger in like a minute I thought it was all going to be over in minutes but the burgers got the better of them real quick 😅

Rijo, Grayson and Geordie took it slow and steady… then the gagging started 🤢 and it got messy 🤢Aidan was out, Ricky tried to soldier on before his guts eventually admitted defeat and Geordie decided he’d seen enough 😂

Grayson and Rijo were the last ones standing, Grayson gave it a good go but Rijo was in his own world calm steady blocking out all the chaos around him

Rijo cleared his plate and claimed the Coal Miner Burger Challenge title !!! 🍔⛏️

Huge thanks to all contenders for giving it a go and everyone who came down to cheer them on!

That’s a wrap for the Coal Miner Burger 🍔
We sold 753 of these bad boys 😳
