Big Judd's

Becky left for Las Vegas last night. She's down there for a Vision Seminar to learn more about the business. She'll be gone all weekend.
Nick and I went to dinner at Big Judd's. He's been slightly obsessed with going there for a while and I thought I'd surprise him. When we pulled up, he got a big grin on his face. They have a couple of specials 1) a 1 lb burger with fries or tots and a drink or, 2) a 2 lb burger with fries or tots and a drink. If you finish one of the specials, you get your picture on the wall. I ordered the Super Bacon Burger (bacon & ham). Nick ordered the #2 with tots. He finished over half of the burger in 10 minutes, after 45 minutes he was done eating. He finished 3/4's of the burger and half of the tots.
While he was eating the burger another family with 2 teenage boys came in. Their faces reflected incredulity at the size of Nick's meal, then the boys proceeded to order the same. Their waitress told them that the meal was free if they beat the current record of 10 minutes 34 seconds! They only caveat was that they had to order fries rather than tots. She told them that the record was broken a few months ago. The previous record was 11 minutes and stood for 3 years.
Our waitress hadn't told us about the challenge or Nick would have tried it. One of the boys only finished about 1/3 of his meal, other finished 3/4's of his in that time of 10 min 34 sec. Nick felt that one should eat the meal slow and not drink soda in order to complete it and get your picture on the wall. I explained to him that one must eat it quickly so the brain doesn't get the signal that the stomach is full. He's a little uncomfortable right now--but he'll be fine. He said that next time he'll order the 1 lb special.
