Winner’s Circle Sports Grille has the only active Philadelphia (Edgemont & Easton locations) area burger challenge I am aware of. The challenge will award a free T shirt and mug to a diner who can complete a 1.5 pound burger and 1 pound of fries in under 20 minutes. The challenge has been available since April according to the online Wall of Fame.
