John and Bertie from the Bertie Page Clinic

Earlier this month, Scene’s editor Gareth Bryant challenged John and Bertie from the Bertie Page Clinic to a burrito-off. Say what?


Throughout May, Mad Mex are offering The Big Burrito Challenge in celebration of Cinco de Mayo — the unlikely victory the Mexican army had over their French oppressors at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.

Made with twice the amount of fresh ingredients as a regular burrito, The Big Burrito weighs in at over one kilo.

It’s quite a mouthful, literally. How did Bertie and John fair? Watch the video.
