MEATPACKING DISTRICT, Manhattan (WABC) -- How quickly can you eat a meal? A New York City sushi chef is giving his customers 30 minutes to down 12 pieces of sushi, and yes, there's a clock, counting you down.

At Sushi by Bou in the Meatpacking District, customers pay $50 to eat sushi in a race against the clock. Diners who finish within the allotted time are then invited to sample chef specials off the menu.
