A food champ has been awarded a 'meat-eating world champion' belt after demolishing a 3lb 2oz steak in just four minutes and 50 seconds. Charity worker Max Stanford, better known in the eating competition world as Max vs Food, reigned victorious over runner-up Tunny vs Food, who completed the challenge in 10 minutes, more than double the time it took Max.
In joint third place was fellow contenders Kyle V Food and Food and the Beast, neither of whom were able to finish the mighty meat, chowing down approximately 30oz each.
35-year-old Max devoured the hefty 2,485-calorie steak at The George Pub & Grill in Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham, and was left dripping in blood after his efforts. To put that into context, it's the equivalent of eating 12 quarter-pounder burgers, and falls just shy of a man's recommended daily intake of 2,500 calories.
