Token pub in Dublin has launched a cheese eating contest for the whole month of January. The mozzarella mountain food challenge is looking for the biggest cheese lover in Dublin.
We all like to indulge in some cheese every now and then but if you think you or a friend could eat 1kg of cheese in short amount of time, then you could win a €300 cash prize and the top spot on the leaderboard at the bar.
The pub, which is located in Smithfield, took to Instagram to tell their followers: "If you can devour 1kg of our flaked out mozzarella bites, and you're the fastest time in January, you'll win €300 cash!"

The competition was launched last Sunday, January 8 where a few brave volunteers took on the challenge and ate 2kg's worth of cheese each. They said that it "almost killed them."
One participant commented: "Can confirm, death was on the edge. 1kg is a cake walk!"
One commenter asked if there would be a vegan option available and Token replied: "We trialled quite a few vegan mozzarellas and the consistency changes dramatically after a few minutes, making them really tough to eat. It really wouldn’t be a fair competition."
There is no payment needed, you just have to pay €25 for the 1kg of mozzarella bites and of if you make the leaderboard (which will be displayed in Token and online) then it's free.
There is no need to book online or in advance, just show up on the day and give it your best shot.
