Sasquatch Challenge

It was our first night in Memphis and after checking into the hotel and watching the debates, we worked up an appetite only the Big Foot Lodge could satisfy. Also, it was the only place open on a Thursday night past 10 pm that was close to our hotel. This place had everything from Deep Fried Cornish Hens to BBQ Egg Rolls. Let's just say there was nothing much on the menu for dieters. I ordered Chicken Wings and JJ ordered the Catfish Sandwich. They were both pretty tasty and satisfied our hunger for some late night grubbin'.

As we were eating we could not help but notice a couple a few tables away from us with an enormous burger in front of them. Our server explained to us that the mighty dish was named the Sasquatch Burger. The burger contains 4 pounds of fresh ground chuck, two pounds of their custom made hamburger bun, and one and a half pounds of lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, and cheese...seven and a half pounds total! The thing was freaking huge. The man at the table had dared to take on the Sasquatch Challenge the night we were there! How exciting?! The rules state that the burger must be consumed within 60 minutes without any help from anyone else, and if this is task is completed then you get the burger for free and your picture on the wall. I personally think you should win $1000 dollars or a prize much more rewarding. I mean you are basically gaining over seven pounds and intaking 6 days worth of calories in one hours time. We did not stick around to see if he fufilled the daunting task. It was kind of painful to watch. He was all sweaty and I just felt bad for the guy. Only four people have their names on the Wall of Fame and two of them are competitive eaters.
