Hong Kong may not have the speed eating chops of America – where eating can be a profession for those fast enough to compete regularly – but the city got a taste on Sunday when local Californian Mexican food chain Cali-Mex held a burrito eating contest.

Nineteen competitors (only two of whom were female), selected from volunteers who signed up to enter after buying a burrito during the past month, assembled at the chain’s Jardine’s Bazaar restaurant in Causeway Bay with their eyes set firmly on the prize: a holiday to California for two.
