The restaurant chain will host the championship on Saturday, Sept. 28 that dares guests to eat their monstrous five-pound chimi in 20 minutes or less in the hopes of being crowned the 2024 Chimi Champion.
The chimi is filled with a choice of shredded beef, shredded chicken or ground beef mixed with Mexican rice and refried beans and topped with red enchilada sauce, Baja sauce, fire-roasted tomatillo sauce, guacamole, pico de gallo, sour cream, mixed cheese and jack cheese.
The qualifying rounds to reach the championship are going on now through Aug. 31 at all Macacyo’s locations, including the restaurant in Glendale. It's at 6012 W. Bell Road, north and west of the intersection of Bell and 59th Avenue.
Qualifiers will compete against the reigning champion from the year prior
The first-place winner will walk away with $2,000 in cash plus prizes.
