A single diner has up to 30 minutes to devour an entire, XXL pie, which is a foot and a half in diameter.

If they succeed, they go home with a collector’s shirt. And these coveted shirts switch up in design seasonally.

A saving grace is these are thin pies, so there have been patrons of all ages up for the challenge.

There have also been a couple of competitors within the past year smashing records.
