I always forget how huge the portion servings are in the US. OMG! The night before last Deb & I each ate half a cow...I swear...I ordered Filet Mignon from a great place called the "Cow Palace" in Newport. TWO filets were on my plate! Yummy but I then had to carry a half cow in my belly all night. Maybe why I was awake @ 1:30am for a few hours.
Last night we went to a place in Bartlett, for delicious ribs. We were a little more suspicious this time and only ordered half a rack each. Very good decision, because we could not finish again. With sides of homemade beans, garlic bread, baked potato....so much food.
There was an impromptu entertainment at this restaurant. The have a famous contest called "Melt your face off." You must eat 10 wings, within 5 minutes, and then wait an additional 55 seconds before you can drink anything. You first sign a waiver. The fellow with the gas mask brings the wings on a plate to the table. The 'victim' then wears goggles & gloves and the timer is on. This fellow finished 7 wings before he had had enough. His entire face was burning and prickly he said afterwards as he paced for half an hour. The waitress informed him it would hurt bad now and then bad again tomorrow. All I can say is WHY! I can't even eat tabasco let alone what ever they add to those "Melt your face off" heated wings. What a brave guy.
Can't wait to see what happens at breakfast today!!
