Opinión en Google, Amigos burgers & shakes shepherd's bush
Wow - what a magnificent time I've just had at Amigos Shepherds Bush! A mountain of a meal, combined with great company, and great hosting by the awesome guys there. A close friend of mine had been telling me for some time about some mythical challenge that's impossible to conquer. It's literally floated around in West London via word of mouth, due to this monstrous offer not being listed on the menu at all. The challenge involves devouring a true tower of a burger - 50oz of premium succulent beef patties to be exact - filled with complete salad (onions, tomatoes and lettuce), thick slices of halloumi cheese, and sauces to one's liking. Accompanying the burger is the naturally obligatory fries and soft drink combo. Successfully consuming this mammoth feat within 30mins means you get the meal for free! Failure results in two thumbs down, and a strong stench of shame that's rumoured to linger for aeons. We both rolled up our sleeves, and took the titanic task head-on... Amigo's member Naila graciously took our order, detailing the rules of the challenge, of which we confirmed. After a short while, our food arrived - and what a mighty sight it was! 5 10oz slabs of cow muscle piled atop each other, stuffed to the gills with all the gubbins. The meat itself was juicy and highly flavourful. A special shoutout goes to the halloumi cheese, so tangy yet not overpowering from the overall protein overdose. Yes, we both failed the challenge miserably. I barely finished the second patty before eventually tapping out and submitting to the massive masterpiece of this mighty fine burger. My mate barely fared any better haha! Despite our waving the white flag, the experience of it all was amazing - Naila and her guys done a great job in accommodating us, and ensured a great time was had by us all, that includes everyone inside watching in awe, and those outside walking past wondering just what was going on, funny time indeed. Thank you Amigos - if anyone does beat the challenge, I gotta meet 'em n shake their hand, for they'll become true Legend of London... Well, at least of Shepherds Bush Green, that's for sure!
