Benito's Hat Break UK Record With 100ft Burrito!

ARIIIBA! The Ultimate Supersized-Snack!
Benito’s Hat have built Britain’s Biggest Ever Burrito

Taller than the Tower of London, longer than a tennis court and as lengthy as a blue whale - earlier today Mexican restaurant group Benito’s Hat created the biggest burrito the UK has ever seen at a whopping 100ft long!

To raise funds for humanitarian organisation Action Against Hunger on World Food Day, Mexican food fans were invited to gather at King’s Cross Square, to see history being made as 20 Benito’s Hat team made the country’s most robust wrap.

Benito’s Hat’s Pueblan-born executive chef, Felipe Fuentes Cruz orchestrated this mammoth burrito-building task, which took him over 10 hours!

With over 45kg of the freshest ingredients, the burrito was a supersize version of the best selling chicken variety (including a veggie section) made in the four Benito’s Hat stores every day. It was crafted using more than 150 tortillas, 17kg chicken, 8kg of fresh tomatoes, 5.5kg of tomatillos and 1kg of coriander!

Once finished, sections of the colossal creation were served up to hungry onlookers who made a suggested donation to Action Against Hunger – a leading organisation committed to ending child hunger and malnutrition.

Having successfully made the UK’s first biggest burrito back in 2011 with a 65 footer, the Benito’s Hat clan were cruelly usurped by burrito builders in Bristol in 2012 who reached 77ft. Today however, they’ve reclaimed their culinary crown!

Adam Lawrence, Restaurant Fundraising for Action Against Hunger said: “We are delighted that Benito’s Hat have chosen to support Action Against Hunger and mark World Food Day with Britain’s Biggest Burrito! All funds raised will go a long way to supporting our life-saving work fighting child hunger around the world and helping families to access food and clean water for the future.”

Felipe added: “It was a real challenge but with the help of all the Benito’s Hat team and the support from the crowd cheering us on we managed to break the record and raise lots of money for charity in the process!”
