Vecais Pēteris' 2.5kg Burger Challenge

Vecais Pēteris is a traditional tavern in Riga's Teika district, and alongside its Latvian dishes it serves a 2.5kg challenge burger. Beef, cheddar, bacon, pickles and two sauces fill a giant bun, with fries and three dips on the side. It's on the menu and on delivery apps, but you'll want to eat it in the pub for the challenge.

What you'll be eating

A 2.5kg beef burger with cheddar, fried bacon, pickles, tomato, pickled onions, lettuce, BBQ sauce and wholegrain mustard sauce, with 400g of fries and three dips.

What you win

Finish it within 30 minutes and the €35 meal is free, plus a T-shirt and a place on the wall of fame.

Before you go

Ask the staff about the time limit and prize when you order, as the menu doesn't spell them out.
