I’ve never eaten at The Halal Guys, but I think the food looks great. I love gyros, falafel, baba ganoush. All of it, right up my alley.

But as much as I like this food, there’s no way I could envision traveling around the world to eat at every single The Halal Guys location. Unfortunately, this puts me out of the running for the NFT the chain is awarding to whoever eats at all 100 locations first. According to the announcement, the owner of this NFT will be able to eat for free at The Halal Guys for the rest of their life.

So how close is someone to winning this food for life pass, which would require not only traveling around the US but heading overseas to South Korea, Indonesia, and The UK? According to the company, the worldwide leader in The Halal Guys visits is “Michael P. from California,” which has visited 12 locations so far.

“Keep going, Michael, only 88 more to go,” says the announcement.

It’s a fun idea, but I’m not sure there is anyone crazy enough to complete the round-the-world in 100 falafels competition The Halal Guys have set up. That’s probably why they set up a lesser “Century Club” for superfans who may not have enough time or resources to travel the globe but have managed to eat at a The Halal Guys 100 times. These Century Club members get a free hat, a Century Club Coin, a 3D printed cart desk ornament, and an NFT.

That second package isn’t nearly as enticing as a lifetime of free food, but maybe just being a member of a club is enough for some The Halal Guy customers. And who knows, maybe there is a bigger community of Halal Guys enthusiasts than I ever imagined and we could see an Amazing Race finish for a lifetime supply of gyros and falafel.
