If you can eat an 8-pound bowl of pho from a metro Atlanta restaurant, it’s on them. Pho real.

If you dare take on the hefty task, at Super Pho in Duluth you can walk away with bragging rights and a $40 gift card to cover the costs of the $40 bowl of pho.

No one has ever completed the challenge, though about seven people have tried, the restaurant said.
