It's called the Burger Beast Challenge Series, and if you have a big appetite, this is the tournament for you.

Anthony Fuda, writer for BURGERGUYZ and one of the tournament organizers, explains, "From now until November, those who take pride in their eating skills can earn points at any area restaurant that serves a challenge burger. The winner will be awarded a $50 gift card and other ceremonial items to be determined."
