**BREAKING: Australian Restaurant Cooks Up MAMMOTH 1,212 POUNDS OF KEBAB MEAT AND FRIES, SHATTERING GUINNESS WORLD RECORD AND FEEDING ENTIRE FESTIVAL**
In a jaw-dropping display of culinary excess, an Australian restaurant has cooked up a whopping 1,212 pounds of kebab meat and French fries, leaving onlookers agog and Guinness World Records officials scrambling to verify the behemoth achievement.
The gargantuan grub fest, which took place at the annual “Taste of Australia” festival, saw the restaurant’s kitchen crew go into overdrive, cranking out kebabs and fries at an alarming rate to feed the hungry masses.
“We just wanted to give the people what they came for – a taste of Australia on a platter the size of a small car,” said Chef and Restaurant Owner, Bruce “The Beef King” Jenkins. “And, of course, we wanted to break that pesky Guinness record. Who doesn’t love a good challenge, am I right?”
The staggering spread, which consisted of 606 kebabs and 606 servings of fries (because, why not?), was devoured by a sea of festival-goers, who descended upon the restaurant like a hungry horde.
“I ate my weight in kebabs today,” said festival attendee, Sarah Jenkins (no relation to Chef Jenkins). “I’m pretty sure I’m now 50% kebab. It’s a new life goal, really.”
The record-breaking feat has earned the restaurant a coveted spot in the Guinness World Records book, as well as a slew of bewildered onlookers.
“I’ve never seen anything like it,” said a nearby resident. “I mean, I’ve seen some big eaters in my day, but this is just ridiculous. I think I need to start a kebab-of-the-month club just to keep up.”
The Australian restaurant’s achievement has also sparked a friendly rivalry among local eateries, with several restaurants vowing to one-up the record in the coming months.
“It’s on, mate!” said a rival chef. “We’ll show them what real Aussie hospitality looks like. Bring on the 2,000-pound kebab extravaganza!”
In related news, the local council has announced plans to install a kebab-themed traffic light, which will feature a giant kebab icon and a countdown timer to ensure that festival-goers can safely cross the street while still enjoying their snacks.
