Chrissie Maus, CSPA General Manager, speaks to Nat Hunter and the Studio 10 team about the Chapel Champions Awards which have brought with them some pretty crazy burgers.

Cal Stubbs is an unassuming and quiet man.

Standing at the counter at a burger joint on Melbourne’s Chapel Street, you’d never know he is capable of superhuman eats — I mean feats.

He’s watching the chef at Roco Mamas prepare 23 beef patties, top them with thick-sliced cheese and then stack them in a way that defies common sense.

On goes 500g of sauce, a few slices of tomato and a black seed bun.

“Are you nervous?” I ask him as he leans in for a closer look.

“I don’t get nervous,” he says, and it’s clear that Cal just wants me to leave him alone so he can start eating. Water loading will make even the most Zen competitive eaters a bit stroppy.

Australian mum invents a handheld safety device for women walking alone at night - featuring a strobe light, piercing alarm and an SOS button

An Australian mother has invented a multi-functional non-violent safety device designed to help protect and give peace of mind to women who are walking alone at night.

Stephanie Rodriguez heads up Wandersafe, the company behind The Beacon - a small but powerful unit that easily fits in the palm of the hand and works three times faster than your phone alone.

Like many women, Stephenie Rodriguez was taught to hold her car keys in between her fingers in case she got into trouble while walking in the street.

In theory, the car key would act like brass knuckles if push came to shove. But, as Ms Rodriguez points out, that plan only works if you can box like Floyd Mayweather.

"It gives us a sense of security but it doesn't actually help us in the face of peril," she says.

While it's easy to believe that "the face or peril" will never actually happen, the reality is that it does.

NRL welcomes new safety beacon that sends SOS for women in danger

A new personal safety ­dev­ice that sends an alarm and GPS co-ordinates when a woman feels threatened, has been welcomed by the NRL.

The WanderSafe device has been pioneered by Australian entrepreneur Stephenie Rodriguez and has already been adopted by some NFL teams in the US, including the New England Patriots, as well as the Boston Celtics in the NBA and baseball’s LA Dodgers.

The beacon sends a silent alarm with GPS co-ordinates to three friends when a person feels in danger. It also has a 140 decibel alarm and strobe light.

Whether it be a bar, restaurant or beauty salon, Melburnians have the chance to crown their favourite Chapel Street business a champion.

The Chapel Street Precinct Association, in partnership with Metro Tunnel, has introduced the inaugural Chapel Champion Awards to recognise the best businesses in the area.

CSPA general manager Chrissie Maus said she really hoped the awards would rally the community to shop and support local.

“This marketing campaign aims to engage with a record number of our members and their unique offerings,” she said.
