Modern Mexican food franchise is on the hunt for Australia’s Biggest Hands – with $5,000 worth of tacos* (and unlimited bragging rights) up for grabs
Zambrero, Australia’s largest modern Mexican food franchise, has launched a nationwide search for Australia’s Biggest Hands – offering their owner $5,000 worth of tacos*.
Launched today, the search invites Aussies across the country to measure up and submit their hands for consideration in what Zambrero is calling ‘the most hands-on talent search in Australia this year’.
The search has been purpose-built around the launch of the Fat Taco – the thickest taco developed since Dr Sam Prince founded Zambrero in 2005. Stacked with your choice of protein, pickled red onion and sour cream, the Fat Taco is bold, fun and built for one hand. Now Zambrero wants to find the Australian whose mitts are big enough to claim the title of Australia’s Biggest Hands – a title no Australian has ever held.
Whoever is found to have Australia’s Biggest Hands will be named the official Face (& Hands) of the Fat Taco – and handed $5,000 worth of tacos* to go with the title.
Daryl McCormack, CEO at Zambrero, said:
“We considered filling the role internally, but after an audit of the Zambrero team’s hands, we had to admit we simply weren’t up to the task. Somewhere out there is an XXL gloved Australian whose hands were made for this moment – and we will not rest until those hands are wrapped around a Fat Taco. The search starts now. We want every Australian to show us what they’ve got.”
Not blessed in the hand department? There’s still a way in. Zambrero is also awarding $500 in cash to the Aussie who best embodies ‘Big Hand Energy’ – think the mate who carries an entire round of drinks without spilling a drop, the parent who somehow carries every single shopping bag in from the car in one trip or the unit who opens every jar on the first try, every single time.
Big Hand Energy can’t be measured, but it can be rewarded.
HOW TO ENTER
To put their hand up for consideration, Aussies simply need to measure up and snap a photo. Place a hand flat against a ruler, measuring tape or Zambrero’s official measurement sheet – available at zambrero.com.au/biggest-hands – and upload the photo along with your details at the same address.
Hands are measured from the tip of the middle finger to the base of the palm, where the hand meets the wrist. Stretching is grounds for disqualification, and honestly, shame on you for considering it.
To enter the running for the Big Hand Energy title, keep an eye on Zambrero’s Instagram and TikTok (@zambrero) – where Aussies can nominate themselves, or the big-handed hero in their life, by commenting on Zambrero’s official Big Hand Energy post and telling us why they deserve it.
The search is open from today until 23:59 on 4 August 2026, with Australia’s Biggest Hands – and the recipient of the ‘Big Hand Energy’ title – revealed on 12 August 2026.
