The Lefty's Challenge (lots of pictures!)

[Skier]

There's a local burger place called "Lefty's" in the mall. The Lefty's Challenge is to eat a large meal in under an hour to get the meal free and your name on the wall of shame. It's two pounds of cooked ground beef in a burger, a basket of fries and a milkshake. A friend wanted a rematch since he failed the first time and convinced another person in our group to join in the fun.

I debated doing it, since I was starving from the nice group ride with a new friend from Colorado the day before. 160 miles of twisties and hills with a pillion takes it out of you faster than expected.

So we start! The cause of my hunger, plus the GF in the foreground:


The next day, we gather the group at a friend's apartment for some Guitar Hero:


We've arrived! Look at those burgers!


Morgan is already ashamed for trying this. Here he is with his camera for size reference:


Eric is looking to be in good spirits!


IT BEGINS.


Morgan goes for the gold:


We're not even halfway through and Eric is already looking to be in trouble:


Morg isn't looking all that great, either:


Or maybe not!


"Oh happy face onion ring, you're my only friend!"


Andrew provides some comic relief:


Morgan attempts to intimidate the rest of the burger:


Eric is in pain:


After that, he went to the bathroom because he felt as if the burger was going to come out the wrong direction. Then he admits defeat:


For the ride back, we had to make sure Eric didn't ralph in his car as I drove him home, so my GF bought him a party bucket. PARTY BUCKET!


We went back to Andrew's place to hang out a bit more. Morgan and Eric, our failed heros, were exhausted with their battle. They were sweating out beef for the next couple of hours. Gross.

Poor Eric couldn't quite stay awake during our Diablo 2 session, so he took a quick nap before heading off to his place to.... well, probably sleep more.


I took Morgan's 1/4 of the burger home as leftovers and proceeded to kill it after an hour or so. It was a spectacularly good tasting burger, but there was no way I could eat four of those quarters in a row. But I may still try one day!

AWESOME story & pics.

SCARY looking burger.

Looks like you guys had a great time though!

Damn that's crazy.

We have a chicken place called Cluck U aka. Cluck University. They have something called the 911 challenge where you eat a basket of the hottest buffalo wings they have. If you win, you get the wings for free, a t shirt and your name on the wall of fame. You have to sign a health waiver before you do it.

Man I know I could never do that burger!

But my friends used to buy me the Atomic hot wings just to watch me eat em ... so I bet I could take that challenge on!!!

I did the Inferno wings at Caseys here once... I normally like spicey food, but these were a bit much for me.. I ruined a pair of contact lenses because I was sweating while eating it, and rubbed my fingers UNDER my eyes..... next thing I know my eyes swell shut and Im stubbling across the bar to stick my head under the sink tap..... contacts were fubar'd due to having to remove them with saucy fingers.
