Showdown

We celebrated Kyle's 19th birthday on Saturday September 1, 2007. We went to Philthy McNasty's Bar & Grill in Waterloo. (I know..... not the nicest name) At this restaurant they have "THE SHOWDOWN BURGER" it is a 1 1/2 pound burger with all the fixings and if you can eat it plus french fries, you get your meal for FREE.

So Kyle, being Kyle decided that this would be a piece of cake. His meal arrives and the waitress starts the timer. She made her rounds to our table fairly regularly and gave time updates. At 2 1/2 minutes Kyle had finished half the burger and a few fries. It was going down pretty easy. By 4 minutes and 40 seconds, he had the next half of burger half done.

But then................IT hit.

He broke out in a cold sweat and just wasn't sure if the burger was going down anymore or if it was trying to make a re-appearance.

So we said just take a breather and keep trying, but that if he couldn't continue that is was ok. it wasn't worth getting sick over. He ate a few more fries, trying to get everything down, and then she (waitress) was there and it was 7 minutes. He had a bite of burger and a dozen or more fries to finish.

Kyle commented that round one went to the burger, but he will try again and he will conquer.

It was a fun night.
