Sam vs Food

If you watch the show Man vs. Food on the Travel channel, you will be excited for this post!  There we were in Boulder one night talking about the show, and realized wait ... what the heck ... didn't they just do a show in Boulder about hot wings?  After a little bit of research .... sure enough!

Sam, being the totally awesome person that he is ... let us all talk him into it.

The place: The West End Tavern

The challenge: to eat 50 wings within 30 minutes

The prize: your picture on their wall of fame, a t-shirt, 10 free bonus wings, and your first 50 wings on the house

Sam is being read the rules

And here he is signing his life away

The goods ... all 50 wings

The manager brought out a timer for Sam, and off he went.  Look close ... those wings are giant and not to mention were also a  little tough.  

And he is off.  Just look at the determination on his face

Plowing right through those babies

Now we are concerned

When the 30 minutes came to an end, Sam had eaten 26 out of the 50 wings.  That is when we found out that Adam from Man vs Food, also had a hard time conquering the task.  Apparently, he only made it through half.  

Sam stated that the hardest part of eating the wings, wasn't the heat but the loads of butter that was used in the wing sauce.  It coated his entire mouth, making it hard to swallow.  Thanksgiving dinner is going to seem super healthy to him, after this ha ha.

Sam and his big pile of bones

                                    

Sam did awesome, considering that not even an hour before heading to the West End Tavern ... he and Chiki had just devoured 3 dozen wings, at the Boulder Beer Company

Sam, if you thought the engagement ring made it official for you & Sulema ...boy were you wrong.  But no worries ... you are so in now!
