Reckon you’ve got what it takes to play with the big kids? Cabravale’s notorious pho eating challenge is back, serving up a whopping 2.8kg bowl of noodles with a $3000 travel voucher up for grabs.

The challenge entails devouring the massive bowl of pho in under 20 minutes. That would be; 1050ml of tasty broth, 750g of rice noodles, 600g of rare beef, brisket, and tendon, 360g of fresh bean sprouts, and 45g of fragrant greens including basil, onions, and spring onions. Child’s play!

The competition will be held in a series of heats.

Heat 1: Tuesday, August 1
Heat 2: Tuesday, August 8
Heat 3: Tuesday, August 15
Heat 4: Tuesday, August 22

The grand final will take place on Tuesday, September 5 where the 10 fastest contestants will battle it out. The winner will take whatever glory is associated with smashing nearly 3kg of soup, a promotional t-shirt, and a refund of the cost of their pro. Oh, and a $3000 travel voucher to spread their newfound fame across the globe.

By the way, we checked. The human stomach can stretch fit between two and four litres so it’s technically doable.
