Cuban chef in the United States issues a challenge, and no one succeeds: Would you eat all of this?

A Cuban chef in Denver is challenging his customers to devour a tray of Cuban delights in 10 minutes for $200. No one has succeeded yet, and the challenge has gone viral.


A Cuban chef based in Denver, Colorado, has issued a culinary challenge that has tested the appetite and bravery of his customers. Although the reward is tempting, no one has managed to conquer it so far.

Eduardo Guevara, better known on social media as the chef of "Sabor de mi tierra," is a master baker and Cuban cook who has captivated thousands with his traditional and flavorful dishes. His popularity has been growing thanks to his videos that blend humor and rich seasoning.

The challenge presented is simple in theory but titanic in practice: eat a tray full of Cuban delights in just 10 minutes, accompanied by a drink. If you succeed, you win 200 dollars in cash. It's that clear.

What does the dreaded tray include?

Get ready, because this is not for the faint of heart. The contents of the powerful Cuban platter include:

  • Two large bites of juicy, well-seasoned roasted pork, prepared in a Creole style.
  • Fresh vegetable salad, as a healthy counterpoint.
  • Two Cuban tamales, with their traditional corn flavor and homemade seasonings.
  • Crispy chicharrones, chorizo, and bacon, nicely golden brown.
  • And to top off the feast, a tremendous onion-smothered pork steak.

All of this can be accompanied by your beverage of choice, from a soft drink to a malt, or a beer. You have to eat it "all" and you win the prize as long as you don't exceed ten minutes.

Who dares?

Although the prize sounds tempting, none of their customers have managed to complete the challenge, and many criticize that the time given is too short to eat something of that nature.

Some have given up halfway, while others haven't even tried because seeing so many delicious things together makes them nervous and they don't know where to start. Eduardo shares his failed attempts on social media, and the dish has gone viral among Cuban food lovers.

The question now is: would you dare to give it a try? Would you be able to eat all of that in ten minutes and take home the 200 dollars? If you’re in Denver, this may be your chance to become a legend… or to roll out of the place.
