Centimeter's The Sword Challenge

Centimeter is a Viennese restaurant chain known for food sold by the centimetre, and at its branch under the old railway arches on the Gürtel the biggest thing on the menu is The Sword. A long skewer is loaded with schnitzels, grilled chops and peppers, then served with wings, chilli con carne and fries, around 5kg in all. It's meant to feed a table of six, but you can take it on alone.

What you'll be eating

A huge skewer of six schnitzels, six grilled chops and peppers, with about 1.5kg of chicken wings, 1kg of chilli con carne and 1kg of fries.

What you win

It's pay to play at €99, but finish it on your own within an hour and you get to keep the sword.

Before you go

Book ahead and tell the restaurant you're attempting it solo.
