It’s game-on for punter versus burger.

Altona Sports Club this week introduced the “Alpha and omega burger and shake challenge”.

Anyone who can polish off a 20-centimetre burger and chocolate brownie shake in 20 minutes gets their $50 back.

The club’s John Dawson said this was no ordinary burger.

“It’s a toasted milk bun with three 150-gram beef patties – I’m choking already – 120 grams of smoked pulled pork, 150-gram mac-and-cheese disk, 120 grams grilled bacon, four slices of jack cheddar cheese, some cos lettuce, sliced tomatoes, housemade pickles and alpha omega sauce,” he said.

“That is served with a bowl of onion rings with barbecue sauce, a bowl of chips, a bowl of salad and a chocolate brownie shake.”

Mr Dawson said he wasn’t sure how many calories were in the meal.

“I put weight on just looking at it,” he said.

There are seven commandments for the challenge, including not dropping food on the floor.

The challenge is held every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at lunch and dinner.
