Looking Down the Pike


When 2012 started, there were a few goals floating in my mind. One was to find an eating challenge that would defeat me. In that aim, I have succeeded. The first fail of 2012 was spectacular. It warrants its own post and there will be pics and video of it.

Closer at hand now is the Chick Fil A nugget eating contest this Saturday, in La Habra. I'm the three-time defending champion with a house record of 206 nuggets. My competition this time is impressive: Johnnie Excel, The Spicialist, and quite possibly Tom Gilbert. I will consider it a major triumph if I win. I don't doubt the 206 nugget record will be shattered by more than one of us.

My minimum goal is to put away 230 nuggets in the two hours. I am linking a charitable donation to my performance in the nugget contest, so I'm hoping my fellows and my own internal drive push me to put up a huge number.

And beyond that, I haven't forgotten that February is National Pancake Month. I'm hoping to do something outrageous in that vein before the Ides of March are upon us.

But first... chicken nuggets await.

  1. I'm rooting for you. Between you and Johnny they may have to open up a new chicken farm for a short while.

    Speaking of pancakes!!! Do you know when IHOP typically does their AYCE? I'm looking forward to that. We need more restaurants getting into challenges up here.

  2. Thanks! I think IHOP dropped the ball this year. I didn't hear any mention of the ayce promo. My pancake gauntlet will be happening at Denny's. They still do bottomless cakes for $4.
