El Chingon will bring a little Bourbon Street energy to downtown when it hosts a Mardi Gras-inspired churro eating challenge. Beginning at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 17, guests will be invited to indulge their sweet tooth in a battle for bragging rights and sweet victory.

The Mardi Gras churro eating challenge will task competitors with eating as many sugar-dusted churros as possible in two minutes and 17 seconds. When the clock runs out, the contestant who finishes the most churros will be crowned champion. Prizes will be awarded to the top three eaters, with the grand prize going to the fastest churro conqueror.

Check-in for the contest will begin at 6 p.m., with the challenge starting at 7 p.m. Entry is free, and online registration is required to secure a spot in the competition.

All participants must complete a waiver before competing, available on Eventbrite.
