The Dagwood Challenge...

(Tyson with his statistics peeps)

A while back we were watching a show on the Travel Channel called "Man VS. Food" - the host Adam Richman was in Columbus Ohio - showing some of the best places to eat in Columbus. Adam went to a place called the OHIO DELI where he tackled the "Dagwood". After watching that show, we knew we had to make our way to the OHIO DELI.

So, Last Saturday we did just that and ventured to the OHIO DELI and met up with some of Tyson's classmates who wanted to share in this experience.  The OHIO DELI is Home of the "Dagwood Challenge". And that's exactly why Tyson and one of his buddies were there. 

They wanted to try and conquer the "Dagwood".

What's the "Dagwood Challenge"? ...

The Dagwood -That's right - 1 pickle, 1 pound of fries, and a 2.5 pound meat sandwich with all the toppings lettuce, tomato, onion and a garlic mayo. Sounds good right? But there's a catch - you have to be able to eat EVERYTHING in 30 minutes or less. And if you DO eat everything in that time frame, you get your picture taken and t-shirt. Time to beat was 4 minutes and 44 seconds! Pretty sure that wasn't going to happen. But everyone was excited for this challenge to start! woot woot! Tyson was very excited! 

Yummy! Starting off good and happy - Tyson said it tasted really good too - only took about 12 minutes to eat the first half and some fries and a few bites of pickle...EASY...

Or maybe not so easy...going at the second half of the Dagwood 

and it's not as good anymore...

there was only like 15 minutes to go....and he kept going...but time was FLYING on by...

Oh...someone has a tummy ache...

times up! 

Well it ended up being a lot harder than it looked. But Tyson was a Bear and did awesome! His buddy John Bradley did finish everything just in time - but ended up in the bathroom afterwards. It was fun and Tyson said that was the fastest 30 minutes ever and he never wanted to eat lunch meat ever again.  Way to go at attempting the "Dagwood" Tyson! 

Your a champ and I love you!
