Everyone in East Texas knows that if you’re going to start a restaurant here, it’s a good idea to have something that makes your restaurant stand out from the crowd. We are fortunate to have lots of great food here, but as the old saying goes ‘Everything is bigger in Texas’ and that includes the new "Hugh J Challenge."

What Is the Hugh J Challenge?

If your stomach is big enough to handle the whole burrito in 30 minutes or less, then you get the meal for free, you get a t-shirt, a hat, and your photo will go up on the wall in the restaurant. People have asked online how much the gigantic breakfast burrito costs if you don’t finish it within the 30 minutes and the cost is $30.

What's Inside the Massive 4-Pound Burrito?

But what goes into the “Huge A Breakfast Burrito Challenge”?

This behemoth starts with a pile of chorizo on the grill. Next comes six cups of eggs, six hash browns, and four cups of cheese all piled high on two 12-inch tortillas that are working together to keep everything together.

After creating the burrito for social media, the team at Big A Burritos decided to put the new food challenge on the scale, and it weighed in at just over 4 pounds. Let’s just say you better come hungry.

Obviously, there are smaller burritos and other menu options if you don’t feel like taking on the biggest breakfast burrito in East Texas.
