It’s On Bitches!- Corndogs- Yes Corndogs!

The final negotioations have taken placed and we’ve inked a deal to bring the next leg of The Good Morning Gloucester Man vs Food Challenge to you and it’s all about the corndogs baby!

After an absolutely insane night of fun at The Farm Bar and Grille for the Hot Wing Challenge we decided we had to go back to the well as the venue was just perfect for our event.  The owners Brad, Noah and Ryan are more than accomodating and the combination of the sound system, the ability to drink during the event and the set-up of the room is just phenomenal.  I’m sure that anyone who attended would surely agree.

The date is February 11th and we have firm commitments from past champs Big Lar’ and Ed Collard.  Dangerous Dick Low has been suspiciously absent so we will try to locate him as well as Tucker Farm Family Diner  Three Stooge Breakfast Champ Cliff Rideout.

We have several slots open for competitive eaters so if you know anyone that can really put it away let me know and I’ll see if I can slide them into one of the few open slots.  Keep in mind that we have a very strong field so please don’t waste my time with a naomination for a slightly above average eater.  They gotta really bring the thunder and have a personality to back it up.

Chubby Soft Drink In St Lucia vs Bois Bande

Chubby Soft Drink In St Lucia, originally uploaded by captjoe06.

Despite what the name might imply there is a different drink made in St Lucia which is said to have certain characteristics which give you a chubby.

It is made from the bark of a tree and you can buy it in the duty free shop at the St Lucia airport on the way home.

From the wikipedia page-Bois Bande is the bark of a tree (Richeria grandis) in the Caribbean Islands. It has potent aphrodisiac qualities. Ideally, one should steep it in high proof liquor for several weeks and then consume.

Here is the label from the rum made in St Lucia with the Bois Bande-
And here is the drink the bartenders at The Fire Grill made me on our last night on the island (note the flecks of bois bande bark floating around)-
