Wolf Burger Challenge

Along the trail there have been many challenges. Huge mountains, bad weather, and sore bones just to name a few. Then there are the food challenges. The Half Gallon Challenge and a pizza pie a day in PA. I issued myself a challenge after my first stop in Georgia. I vowed to eat a cheeseburger in every town that I stopped in. Thus far I have been a champion! When I arrived in Stratton ME I was informed of the Wolf Burger Challenge. Any self-respecting cheeseburger aficionado couldn't turn down this opportunity. So I stepped up to the plate and placed my order. My challenge: consume 3 wolf burgers and three orders of fries in under an hour. The wolf burger is no joke. A half pound burger topped with a sausage patty, 4 pieces of hickory smoked bacon, mushrooms and cheese. With the 3 full plates laid in front of me, the challenge was on! 1st burger, no problem. Second burger, getting full. 20 minutes in...third burger is uncomfortable. With a few bites remaining in the third I began housing the fries and mixing in bites of the burger. 1st plate of fries done with 25 mins to go....very uncomfortable at this point. I began dipping fries in water. Second plate of fries done with under 15 mins left. Every bite becomes extremely difficult. Fighting the urge to lose my dinner now. Blue, Wolfpack, and Humpty Dumpty are cheering me on and playing inspiring music on the jukebox. 3 mins left and only scraps left to clean up. I bite into a small piece of roll with the last remaining mushroom clinging to the bottom and try to swallow....my body says no... My feet say run....out the door....and there, just outside I lose my bid to become the 5th person to complete the Wolf Burger Challenge.....
