[FOOD TRIP ADVENTURES] The Mighty Ton Challenge at Casa Verde

Me and my friends decided to take on the Mighty Ton Challenge at Casa Verde over at U.P. Town Center. Me and my girlfriend decided that it would be little old me and my friend Chris' birthday celebration. So before the day we went there, We've decided to invite him over the day before (which is Friday night because I still have work that day) so we can waltz in the restaurant as early as we can, We were informed that the restaurant opens around 11 A.M every Saturdays and we heard that based on other reviews that it always gets crowded during and after lunch time.

We rode a taxi from Newyork Cubao to Katipunan Ave as early as 10 A.M and got there around 10:30 A.M thank God there was no heavy traffic back then. Casa Verde is located at the back end of U.P Town Center 2nd floor, from the escalator at the front just walk straight up and turn left and you'll see the big sign round green sign of "CASA VERDE"(we totally forgot to take pictures of the outside due to our excitement and hunger, we didn't eat breakfast before going there).

We got inside the restaurant after a few minutes of waiting and right away, we ordered what we came for our quest for that day "THE MIGHTY TON" burger! While waiting we decided to take a few snaps inside with our phone cameras and came up with these:

When we got inside the restaurant people after us started to pile up as the review says. Most of our shots here were a little awkward (nahihiya pa) at the same time because people were actually looking at us whenever we pull off our phone cameras of the table and started the point and shoot habit of every person who likes to take pictures with a phone camera on a new place will do.

After a few minutes of waiting around our challenge arrived. The infamous Mighty Ton was served right in front of us and we're all struck by how huge the actual thing is compared when you are looking at it on pictures. We got a little crazy on taking photos due to our hunger and yes its size will make you go crazy.

A 12-inch for its bun a kilo of their so called "USDA tenderloin patty" (which the grease is overflowing from the buns) and with lots, and I mean LOTS and LOTS of bacon filling, and according to the menu the cheese is American (yeah American cheese), also the burger has lettuce, tomatoes, mushroom and onions paired with big cuts of potato fries. Yep Fries! you can choose from barbecue, sour cream or cheese as its dip (we picked sour cream).

The moment we saw the burger we already identified the trap parts of the serving, we always looked for what to eat first in every eating challenge we take on and the first ones is the Fries, then the huge chunk overwhelming Bun.

We decided to have it sliced when served so we could eat the whole thing, we have the waiters slice it up in six parts, two for each of us to finish everything. When we measured the whole thing with our hands we just really have to take our time looking at it thinking how in the world are we gonna fit all of it first in our mouths second in our guts. I think we wasted about more than three or more minutes arguing what in the world are we getting ourselves this time. One slice is almost equal of the plate we have on our table.

After a fierce battle of stuffing all of the calories of our first slice, (into our mouths down to our belly), here was his (Chris) reaction after almost finishing one slice (we really looked like him so no need to see our faces). For a price of P888 the meal was actually worth it (drinks/ beverages not included).

Happy Birthday Bro! :3
