The world's biggest burger is taking no prisoners and has defeated all attempts to eat it.

Three people have so far tried to tackle the 10lb beast within the three-hour time limit, but to no avail.

One hungry visitor to the Glasgow restaurant where the burger was made had to bring in five of his friends to help polish it off - and failed even then.

Creator Craig Johnson, 43, said: "A few of the regulars have taken up the challenge, but I'm pleased to say they haven't been able to do it.

"It's huge - an absolutely massive amount of food."

Anyone who can finish the mammoth meal, made with 7lb of meat, will get the 65 burger for free. They will also be given a certificate and get their photo put up in the restaurant.

Mr Johnson, manager of the Baloo Burger Company in Queen Street, came up with the idea after reading about a pub in the US which set a record with its 6lb burger.
