Hungry clubbers will not be short of a late night snack - if they’re going out in Greece. A restaurant owner in the western port of Patras is attempting to grill the world’s biggest kebab. Costas Dasios has made a pork kebab weighing in at a monstrous 4079lb on a 5ft 7in steel skewer, flavoured with 331lb of spices and 220lb of salt. Mr Dasios said: “The city’s poor will be the first to get a taste.”
If successful, it will dwarf the current Guinness world record which is held by Sami Eid, a restaurateur from Limassol, Cyprus, who churned out a 3314lb kebab on a 5ft skewer in 2001.
