Global News accepts the Reese PBC burger challenge

Some days in this business, you work tirelessly chasing down tough breaking news stories.

And other days, you get assigned to eat a disgustingly decadent hamburger and film it for the world to see.

Toronto burger restaurant The Works is garnering international attention for a new hamburger creation they’ve dubbed the “Reese PBC.”

The concept is simple: take a hamburger, stuff it with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, top it with bacon, deep fried onions, and yes – more Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

So it was I that was sent down to The Works armed with my appetite, my sense of adventure, and a cardiac surgeon in case I needed a post-burger gastric bypass.

How did it go? Find out in the video above.
