Two famous chefs have teamed up to make the largest beef wellington ever – and it’s a whopper!

The mammoth dish was created by Nick DiGiovanni (USA) with the help of Gordon Ramsay (UK) and weighs in at an astonishing 25.76 kg (56.79 lb).

To put that into context for you, the typical beef wellington weighs around 1.42 kg (3.13 lb), whereas this record-breaking one weighs about as much as an eight-year-old boy.
