A gigantic sandwich beats Mexico City record

Mexican restaurateurs on Wednesday paid homage to a variety of local sandwiches, by preparing a gigantic "torta" with an array of fillings.

Multiple chefs worked together to create a 74 meter long sandwich, which weighed at least 800 kilos, as they aimed to break two local records during an event at the Torta Fair 2022. Along with looking to break the record for the size of the giant creation, the cooks were also aiming to beat the time it was created in, with official figures confirming this year's was finished in 2 minutes and 3 seconds. After it was finished, those watching could take a piece of the sandwich for 1.5 dollars, choosing from the traditional pork, beef, and chicken fillings, or picking a slice of exotic meat. The whole sandwich was finished off in minutes, but the "Torta Fair 2022" runs from August 3-7.
