Man v Food visits Westmeath

A Westmeath pub's mammoth 8,000 calorie breakfast is set to feature on an upcoming episode of the hit TV show, Man v Food.

Presenter Randy Santel visited Athlone watering hole Murphy's Law to tackle its breakfast challenge and became only the second person to finish it within the allotted 30 minute time frame. If the challenge is completed within half an hour you eat for free.

A 'professional eater/body builder', according to his website, Santel had to dig deep to claim his free breakfast finishing with less than 10 seconds to spare.

However, considering that the breakfast contains almost triple the recommended daily amount of calories for a man, finishing within thirty minutes is quite an achievement.

4 sausages,

4 pieces of black pudding

4 pieces of white pudding

4 fried eggs
