Epic Portions

  • I Made a Grilled Cheese

    I know I’ve been an absentee bloger lately and I apologize for that.  I would offer you several good excuses, but I don’t really have any.  Not going to make any up either.  I simply needed a little bit of time off.  Eating and then writing about it is really hard work.  You just wouldn’t understand.  It is EXTREMELY stressful at times(actually, not at all).  After a couple weeks of short posts with pictures stolen from the internet, I am back with a short post with a picture that wasn’t stolen off of the internet.

    I made a grilled cheese last night.  On this grilled cheese were Kraft singles, turkey, and mayo.  It was really exciting. Actually, it was exciting because this is the first post which will contain a picture taken by my HTC EVO.  It’s pretty much the most amazing piece of technology I’ve ever owned.  This little device is going to allow me to post content more frequently due to a WordPress app that lets me post directly from the phone.  Yes, me and my phone are awesome.

    Anyways, on to the grilled cheese.  It was delicious.

  • Sonic’s 1/4 Pound Footlong Chili Cheesedog

    Sonic has recently been introduced to my life and I don’t know what I was doing all of these years without it.  All of this McDonalds and Burger King doesn’t even compare to the deliciousness.  On my second visit there, I couldn’t resist getting the “extra long” chili cheese dog, which is a 1/4 pound hot dog slathered with chili and cheese.  Let me tell you, this is fast food hall of fame material.  Throw in a watermelon slushy with an order or tater tots and you have yourself a serious meal.  I personally enjoyed this combo at 2:30 AM and I feel as though this is the ideal time to experience such incredibleness.  Is incredibleness an actual word?

  • Kobayashi Arrested

    In probably the strangest news ever in competitive eating history, Takeru Kobayashi was arrested yesterday during Coney Island’s Fourth of July hot dog contest and charged with resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and trespassing. Kobayashi held out of the event after refusing to sign a contract that restricted his professional eating activities to competitions affiliated with the Major League Eating organization, but decided to attend the event anyway.  After Joey Chestnut won the contest, he jumped on stage and was immediately tackled my security guards and taken to jail.

    I’ve always been a Kobayashi fan.  Hell, the man changed competitive eating forever.  Check out the video, though. I feel like the Japanese usually protest a little better than this.  Couldn’t he think of anything better to do than rush the stage after the competition had ended and get all 145 pounds of him whooped and taken off of the stage by the police?  I think it would have been pretty sweet if he somehow crashed into the stage during the competition completely ruining everything.  Bonzzzaaaai!!!!!!!
