No Victors in K39's Mega Blowout 6-Pound Burrito Challenge

The Town Center taco shop has a new food challenge and four guys just took it on.

There's a new food challenge in Santee that's yet to be conquered, and there's a good reason- a six pound burrito is hard to stomach.

K39 Taco Shop at Town Center hosted four challengers for the Mega Blowout Burrito, who must finish the full six pounds of carne asada, beans, fries, cheese, red sauce, wrapped in three large tortillas, in an hour, to win. The huge burrito has been compared to the size of an infant.

If they fail, it costs them $25 and they get the "attempted" shirt. The coveted shirt for defeating the challenge has yet to be given out. All six who have attempted it in the few weeks since the challenge was issued have fallen short. Two came close on Thursday, one within a couple handfuls of victory.
