Man sits in bean dip for 24 hours to promote California restaurant
- 3 years ago
A California stuntman spent 24 hours sitting in a pool of bean dip to promote a Los Angeles-area restaurant that has suffered losses from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hunter Ray Barker said he climbed into the wading pool filled with bean dip outside Los Toros Mexican Restaurant in Chatsworth at 3 pm. Monday because he wanted to support the restaurant, which he described as one of his favorites for years.
Baker's 24-hour tenure in the pool coincided with a block party at the eatery, which featured the stuntman receiving a tattoo of the restaurant's logo while sitting in the dip.
"Obviously, a stunt like this is ridiculous -- it's absurd, it's wild, but as with any stunt, I'm always in favor of something that edges on the side of absurdity if it can celebrate and at least make a couple of people laugh," Barker told Patch before climbing into the bean dip.
