EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- A duo of El Paso influencers have left their jobs as a lawyer and salesman to concentrate full time on continuing their efforts of being the top content creators for local social media, all-the-while, bringing thousands of eyeballs right here to the 9-1-5 by focusing on all the positives we have in the borderland.

Recently, one of the reels from "De La Story" went viral (with nearly one million views), and brought even more positive attention to El Paso. In another edition of "People, Places & Paul", ABC-7 anchor Paul Cicala followed in the footsteps of others in De La Story's viral video, by also taking the Chelito's Burger Challenge.

-9 Burger Patties, 9 slices of yellow cheese, 9 slices of white cheese, 18 bacons, all the condiments, two large buns that sandwhich everything together, along with a humongous plate of fries and a Mexican-brand soda.
