The Italian Challenge!!

The Italian Challenge...oh and what a challenge it was!

So, who here watches Man vs Food?  Okay, so if you don't watch the show, or you've never heard of it, it's about this guy, Adam, who travels around the world and competes in food challenges.  An example would be, eat this five pound steak in one hour, and it's free.  That sort of thing.  The show is pretty awesome and funny and gross.  haha. 

So, one day Adam travels to Niagara Falls, Canada.  ....Hey!  I work in Niagara Falls, Canada! 

He goes to Mick and Angelo's.  ....Hey!  I go there all the time!

And he competes in the Italian Challenge.  ...What?!? I've never heard of it.

So, he competes in the challenge and the food won.  He couldn't do it.  His picture gets put up on the Wall of Shame - the wall leading into the washroom area.

So, what do I do?  I ask my brother, Charlie, if he wants to do the Italian Challenge.  His answer... "Uhhhh....YES!"

The Sloan boys vs Food.  Round One.  It's ON!!!

....the food won.

And boy did it ever.  Who were we kidding?  There was enough food to feed a hungry family.  What exactly did we have to eat in the 1.5 hour time frame?  I'll tell you what:

-Soup of the day
-Loaf of garlic bread...LOAF of garlic bread
-Lasagna (the biggest piece of lasagna I've ever seen!)
-Spaghetti
-Meatballs (3 giant ones)
-Manicotti (3 of them)
-Cannelloni (3 of them)
-Chicken Parmigiana (2 big pieces)
-Italian Sausages (at least 6 or 7 of them)
-AND...and piece of cheesecake

Total weight of food...SEVEN pounds!  And that list is what EACH of us had to eat.  No sharing in this challenge!!  OMG...I'm a little embarrassed to say that we tried.  haha.  At least we can say we didn't finish.

Anyway, next time you're at Mick and Angelo's and you need to head to the can, look to your left and you'll see pictures of Adam, Charlie, and yours truly - moi.
