Father's Day 2012 = Man vs. Food Challenge....!

Happy Father's Day King Tony!

And, to celebrate, we grabbed Alec's Godparents, Uncle Regis & Auntie Laurie, and headed over to Eagles Deli so the fathers in our lives could test their courage, strength and iron stomachs with a Man vs. Food Challenge: The Reilly. (3lbs. hamburger, 12 slices of cheese and 2lbs. of french fries; eaten within an hour).

Tony and Regis concocted this crazy idea after Tony saw Adam Richman (Man V. Food) take on not only the East Coast Grill's Hell Night as well as the Eagles Deli food challenges.  Tony endured Hell Night with Auntie Abra and Uncle Peter, and brought a take-out serving of the world's hottest pasta to Regis, who endured the suffering as they had. The next step, the Eagles Deli Challenge.

So, on this gorgeous summer day, we headed into Boston (kids in tow).

The situation was looking grim after about 20 minutes. Tony had all but stopped eating (with a stack of burger/bun/fries still to go), yet Uncle Regis continued efforts to power thru. We couldn't imagine that either was long for the challenge as their food-to-mouth activity began to diminish rather quickly....

 Here they are at the start.   Look at those stacks of burgers and fries. ICK!

 Uncle Regis dives in.....



The remains of Uncle Regis' Reilly Challenge burger. Too much meat for anyone to consume... In the end, neither man could manage the Reilly. It was just too much to consume. Additional photos to be added soon, after the dust has settled, the food properly digested, and memories of this glutinous event, long forgotten.




Alec and RJ enjoy some chicken fingers. Both of them with their own Man v. Food-style game faces! :)
