Craig Harker decided to try out the 8,000-calorie challenge to see if it would prove a worthy adversary to professional eaters in his competitive eating league. The 37-year-old ordered a 100-slice bacon butty served up in a giant white bap known as a stottie - with the baffled server heard saying: “What? Are you joking?”
Footage shared on YouTube on February 15 shows the pub owner casually ordering the monster £60 sarnie before being handed it in a pizza box with a bottle of ketchup and brown sauce.
When the food blogger, who runs Dad Loves Food, unveiled the 9in tall towering treat he burst out laughing describing it as a bacon Mount Everest. But Craig's eyes proved to be bigger than his belly and he was only able to scoff 38 of the rashers before donating the rest to hungry friends and family.

00:00Right we're here at Greggs at the Marlhouse in Stockton where I'm going to try and take
00:11on a 100 slice bacon bun. Now as part of the British Eating League we look for competitive
00:16eating challenges all over the UK but sometimes we have to make them ourselves so let's take
00:21a look. Hopefully they'll do it for us and we'll see how much 100 slices costs at Greggs.
00:26Can I just get a 100 slice bacon bun please? So would you do that, would you make it, would
00:33you be alright? What would the cost of that be? £60. £60? Let's do it, let's do it.
00:43Thank you very much. Get a load of that! Oh we're dropping napkins, I'll pick them up
00:49in a second. That is an absolute monster. Now we've got some napkins, I've just had
00:55a cheeky little look at this and because it's so big it fills this Greggs pizza box.
01:02So let me show you the world's biggest bacon bun at Greggs. Bosh! Look at that! That is
01:14absolutely insane, there's bacon everywhere, it's like a whole pig in a box. So what she's
01:20done for me as well, instead of putting it in a normal Greggs bun, she's put it in the
01:24Greggs big stotties so we can get more in. Now it does come out of the box, there's 100
01:28slices of bacon. I'm going to pile it up so it's all back in the bun. I don't think we're
01:36going to get it in. This is like a Mount Everest, Mount Everest, Mount Bacon. Look at that!
01:45I don't know how I'm going to eat it. There we go, cheers mate. You've got all of it James
01:51have you? I've got the box, yeah. Camera guy! Oh look at that, we've probably dropped maybe
01:5820 slices of bacon here. Right, you ready? Oh don't do it! That is insane! Beautiful
02:12job mate, good job, I love bacon. Yoink! So I'll take on the challenge and whatever's
02:22left we'll feed the kids. So I'll get a few extra buns, a few stotties and see how we
02:28get on with the world's biggest bacon bun. Bosh! A little bit of ketchup on top. And
02:38now I'm ready to take on the Greg's 100 Bacon Slice Challenge and who knows, it might end
02:45up part of the British Eating League for this season.
03:08Oh, look at that grease!
03:38I think I'm going to throw a towel in. Unsure what I've ate, maybe 30 plus slices. We'll do a little count up now with what's left and then we'll re-watch the video, see what I've ate and let us know if you can take on Greg's 100 slice bacon bun.
