Calling all burger fans – a mighty meat-eating challenge is set to take place this week, raising money for St Richard’s.
Plucky participants can test their burger-eating abilities at Sampson’s at the Conservatory Bar and Kitchen in Friar Street, Worcester, on Thursday 24th August – coinciding with National Burger Day.
Carl Sampson, whose burger van was named the best in Britain by The Times in 2015, is the man throwing down the gauntlet.
He explained: “You must eat a five patty bacon bomb in 10 minutes or less on your own. If you do, the burger is free – but if you fail, it’s £20.50.
“For every attempt – win or lose – we will donate £5 to St Richard’s. I will also personally match the total.”
The celebrated burger chef is raising funds for St Richard’s – which provided his parents with bereavement counselling after his sister died in December 2016.
He said: “My sister Katie went to bed at home and never woke up aged just 27. I really feel that without the support of the hospice I would have lost my parents too.
“The work done at St Richard’s is amazing and it can only be done with support from the community.”
