Blast From the Past: Wendy’s Super Bar

Does anyone out there remember back in the late 1980s and early 1990s when Wendy’s had the “Super Bar”?? They had it at the one in Ypsilanti, but I’m not sure how wide spread the whole thing was.

If you are unfamiliar with it, The Super Bar was sort of a buffet that was split up into at least three sections. One section being a typical salad bar, one Mexican with all the fixins to make your own tacos, burritos, etc., and the other Italian, often with small slices of pizza (cheese or pepperoni), pasta, garlic bread, etc..

I swear to god I used to go to Wendy’s and get the Super Bar once a week growing up. Why on earth did they get rid of it????

Turtle Burger Anyone?

Competitive Eating Update

Competitive Eating

I am attempting to enter my first contest.

The 4th Annual Pastrami Joe’s Rueben Eating Championship, in Marshall, MI. I will basically have to eat as many 1lb Reuben sandwiches as possible in 8 minutes. The winner of professional’s contest last year ate 5.7 sandwiches, which clearly makes him an amateur. Couldn’t finish that last .3 of a Reuben sandwich? I am coming for victory.

Until then, the plan goes as follows..

First I will take out the Bomber breakfast, which has haunted me for the last few months. It called me last night and accused me of ducking it. I am in no way trying to duck this breakfast, and I will destroy it in a few short days. Just you wait.
From there, in no particular order..

The Bomb Burger at Burdick’s in Kalamazoo. This burger has a pound of ground steak stopped with extra pickles, onions, tomatoes, lettuce, mayo and Mustard served with one pound of fries, a side of coleslaw, and a pickle. If I can finish that, I get a free t-shirt.
Pizza Eating Contest at the Manchester Fair. Not until July, still trying to find more information.
Definitely going to make the trip to Tony’s I-75 in Birch Run to tear through some food.

There aren’t many things within reasonable driving distance so I’m still working on all of this.
