Think you’ve got an appetite big enough to sink a sushi boat?
A Southern California restaurant is serving up a colossal 80-piece sushi challenge that has social media stars lining up for viral glory.
One competitive eater made it look ridiculously easy.
Sake2Me AYCE Sushi in Chino is daring customers to devour 10 sushi rolls, or 80 pieces worth more than $140, in just 30 minutes.
The feast makes quite an entrance.
A waiter carries the mountain of sushi to the table aboard a giant wooden boat before the clock starts ticking.
The challenge costs $115 to enter and is open Monday through Thursday.
Finish every bite within the time limit and your meal is free.
Winners also score a free all-you-can-eat pass and a coveted spot on the restaurant’s Wall of Fame.
Diners who come up short can still take their leftovers home once time expires.

Competitive eater @RAINAISCRAZY, Raina Huang, had no trouble with the mountain of maki.
She polished off all 80 pieces in 15 minutes and 37 seconds, leaving nearly half the clock untouched.
Her advice for anyone brave enough to give it a shot?
“Hot tea helps a lot and helps melt all the rice.”
She said the deep-fried rolls were the hardest part of the challenge.
The restaurant introduced the promotion on Instagram with the simple question, “Think you’ve got what it takes?” and encouraged followers to tag the friend who believes they can finish the feast.
Some viewers were less impressed than concerned.
One user quipped, “I’d be worried about mercury poisoning.”
The challenge has no announced end date and is expected to remain a regular attraction at the Chino location.
For Sake2Me, a popular Southern California chain known for its all-you-can-eat sushi menu and lively atmosphere, the oversized contest is also smart business.
