Underneath all the lights, wires, microphones and camera were three tables with six people sitting there looking eager and hungry. The challenge was to eat a thirty inch pizza that weighed close to ten pounds in under an hour. Up for the challenge was a team of two tiny girls from Colorado State University, two hippy-looking guys that seemed more eager than hungry and two big guys that came prepared with a training program and elastic waistbands. The three teams got their choice of pizza to eat. The girls went for a veggie(team Veggie), the hippy guys went for a jalapeno/pepperoni(team Spicy) and the big guys went old school with a Hawaiian(team Hawaii). To find out who wins you'll have to wait for the episode to air on the Food Network. I'm not going to say a word about who wins. You never know if they'll send a black windowless van after me. You might even catch a glimpse of yours truly in the background but I'm not going to hold my breathe. You'll know who I am when you notice a dorky guy hanging out in the corner not knowing what to do besides smile at the camera. Yeah, I was that guy. At least I wasn't giving someone rabbit ears.
I was torn about bringing my camera to the contest and finally decided not to bring it. I wasn't sure if I could get in with it and I wasn't overly excited about being turned away at the door. Upon my arrival I noticed almost EVERYONE had a camera of some sort. Not wanting to waste the moment I reached for my only option left. The attached pictures are from the amazingly awesome .5 megapixel camera on my phone.
