A local chain of restaurants built a plate of nachos over the weekend that weighed more than a midsize car, setting a Guinness World Record in the process.

According to The Boston Channel, the Ninety Nine Restaurant in Billerica created a nacho plate that weighed 3,999 pounds, breaking the former record of 3,555 pounds that was set last year in Frisco, TX.

The record-setting plate included 1,105 pounds of nachos, 825 pounds of Monterey jack and cheddar cheeses, 439 pounds of cheese sauce, 451 pounds of salsa, 459 pounds of chili, 199 pounds of jalapeno peppers, 90 pounds of diced red onions, 421 pounds of sour cream, and 8 pounds of chopped cilantro, according to The Boston Channel.
