Lashings Training for the Burger Challenge

Because we needed a little more training....

Lashings Gourmet Takeaway

Today we had a hunger to try something different. Yes of course it's another burger. After all, this is what brings you, the burger lover back to this burger blog for more right? Well, this time we were so hungry we decided to have a look into Lashings burger challenge. So out to Brighton Le Sands we did venture.

You won't find the Lashings burger challenge on the menu. But if you mention the words 'burger challenge' to the friendly staff, and tap your index finger to the side of your nose as you nod, they will know what you mean.

Simply put, the challenge is to consume the Double Whiplash burger with 12 patties in 30 minutes and the burger is free. Otherwise it will set you back a stunning $54.

We decided that before we should accept this challenge, we would at least sample these burgers and decide if we wanted to consume 12 of these patties. No point in eating so much if the burgers are rubbish, right?

So we ordered the normal Whiplash burger as well as a Double Cheeseburger. Notice that the Whiplash comes with American cheese.

The Double Cheeseburger came with your standard Australian Tasty Cheese.

The first thing to say about this burger is the size. We. Love. It. The size is what growing boys like us need. The buns were soft but also lightly toasted, giving them a soft crunch upon taking that first bite. The burgers were juicy and cheesey. The Whiplash had a kick to it (jalapeños will do that, as well as the special sauce). The Double Cheeseburger came with plentiful onion which made us happy.

Now we have begun our training by eating these burgers. It took us 5 minutes to devour these beauties. We have now devised a strategy for eating the 12 patty whiplash burger. We might need to train a little bit more before we take the plunge, so it looks like we'll be back to Lashings. Stay tuned for more burger fun.
