A while ago, we wrote about the King of the (5lb) Burger Challenge at the Fieldhouse Sports Bar & Grill, Joliet, IL. The original challenge was If you can eat this 5lb burger and fries within 30 minutes, you get not only the burger for free, but you get a free meal, every day for 1 year! Yep, 365 free meals. Well, for a highly coveted IFOCE member such as Pat, it doesn't take him long to destroy this one. 2.5 minutes for the burger, and another 1 minute to finish off the rest of the plate! And to top it off, he had a Gyro Platter, because the 5lb burger wasn't enough! This was his "training" before the Krystal Square Off, where he placed 3rd behind Joey "The Jaws" Chestnut, and Takeru Kobayashi. There's also a few pics of the Krystal Square off, and some pre-match training at a local Krystal by Richard Le Fevre.
