The cHallEnGe


  The Challenge:  Eat an entire 29" in diameter pizza with four toppings and a pitcher of Rootbeer at Brick Oven.
The challengers:  Ryan and Jeron
The time:  one hour
Jeron and Ryan both accepted this challenge and confident were they.  
The four toppings were pepperoni, green peppers, mushrooms, and onion.
They were confident until they pizza actually arrived.  
This beast was HUGE to put it mildly.  
To put it into perspective it is the equivalent of four, count them four, 14" pizzas.  YIKES!
They decided to go for it even though the sight of it scared the crap out of them.  
The staff was all cheering them on.  They kept telling them what a great job they were doing.  That was until the chef came out and told them just how much food they were eating.  
They had 5 lbs of cheese alone.  
The sauce was 3 big gulp sized cups.  
The more he talked the more I saw Jeron and Ryan deflate.  
Maren and I had a secret we didn't want to tell our husbands.  
It turns out NO ONE has ever done this before.
We didn't want to scare them so we just let them go.
Turns out we should have told them.  
About 1/2 hour into it they both hit a wall and couldn't continue.  
They were literally so sick.  Just the sight of the pizza was enough to make them want to vomit.  
I literally don't know how they ate as much as they did.  I am just glad that we didn't have and ER trip later that night.  It was a good effort though.
