If you\u2019re really short on cash and haven\u2019t eaten anything in about a week, you may want to head over to Gold Curry, a restaurant in Japan\u2019s Ishikawa prefecture, where you can earn up to $900 if you can finish one of their giant dishes in the allotted time.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve featured some outrageous restaurant challenges in the past, like\u00a0eating a bowl of the world\u2019s hottest curry,\u00a0feasting on a 4-pound taco, or\u00a0finishing a giant bowl of Pho soup, but, while definitely extreme, completing them still seemed possible.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not the case with the ultimate challenge set\u00a0by Japanese restaurant Gold Curry. They are offering a grand prize of $900 to any person that can eat over 20 pounds of rice and curry in just one\u00a0hour, which I for one don\u2019t think is humanly possible without rupturing your stomach.<\/p>\n

The good news is that you don\u2019t have to go straight for this impossible challenge. Instead, you can work your way up to it, by tackling the restaurant\u2019s other eating challenges. <\/span><\/p>\n

First, there\u2019s the 2-kilogram plate of rice and curry, which has to be consumed in 15 minutes, in order to avoid paying its $18 price. The same goes for the 4-kilo plate, which\u00a0costs $31, if you don\u2019t finish it 30 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Completing the harder challenges not only makes your meal free, but Golden Curry will also pay you a cash prize. For eating the 6-kilogram plate in less than half an hour, you get rewarded with 30,000 yen ($270). <\/span><\/p>\n

Fail, and you have to pay the $58 cost of the meal. Finishing the 8-kilo plate of rice and Japanese curry will earn you a prize of \u00a050,000 yen ($450), plus the $72 cost of the meal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve completed these lesser challenges and trained your stomach to deal with huge quantities of food, you\u2019re ready to go for the $900 grand prize. It has a 5-star difficulty rating on\u00a0<\/span>FoodChallenges.com, which pretty much makes it impossible for use mere mortals. <\/span><\/p>\n

None of the sources I\u2019ve checked mention anyone successfully completing the challenge. Not even the great competitive eater Joey Chestnut could do it.<\/span><\/p>\n
