Meat Patties



Like pop-ish, spicy Santogold, some foods "gotta be unstoppable." The Pounder at Cheeburger Cheeburger was sure it was undefeatable in all its cholesterol laiden beefyness. Or so it thought, until challenged by two eating machines I so fondly refer to as my friends.


It was the throwdown of the semester. In one corner, my food-friendly boyfriend Drew Smith. He came prepared. Although tempted by the alluring milkshake combos and deep fried goodies, he was to stay focused on his ultimate goal. DEMOLISH.

In the adjacent corner, Eric Turner, the boy with the hollow leg...one he is just waiting to fill. Eric arrived fashionably late, sauntering in with the cool confidence of a pro. He sat down, cracked his knuckles, and pointed solemnly at his choice on the menu.

Finally, at long last, the waitress walks out of the kitchen, carrying the main event in her weak, shaking arms. Two gargantuan slabs of meat and toppings balance precariously in their baskets. As they are set down in front of Drew and Eric, one can almost hear "Chariots of Fire" in the background.



Here are how things went down...photo style
















All good things do come to an end. Some quicker than others. Drew finished his massive meat monster in about 15 min (and had room for onion rings!?!?), while Eric took a whopping 45. Both men, however, fought valiantly...and took home a win! Great job guys, I'm (impressed, depressed, awed, etc.) at how much you could eat.

My only question is





how are those stomachs?
