A crack team of college athletes, bodybuilders and professional eaters couldn't make their way through the 22-inch, 4.75-pound "Zombie banh mi" at Cafe TH in 30 minutes. Chalk it up to the Zombie sauce on top: a potent mixture of Sri Racha, jalapenos, habaneros and Lethal Ingestion hot sauce. PHOTOS BY GROOVEHOUSE
