Can you handle this Vancouver eatery's $5 ramen challenge?

Break out your stretchy pants and dust off your splash guard (because everyone has one of those handy, right?) – there’s an event coming up that you’re going to need both for.

Yuu Japanese Tapas is offering their first ever Ramen Challenge, and ideally it will end in full stomachs, and big savings for those who participate.

The Richmond eatery is offering $5 ramen to anyone who can finish an entire bowl in less than 10 minutes during their opening hours on October 16, 17, 18, and 20.

It could be dangerous, but then again, we like danger.
