“Let’s Get Ready to…. Regurgitate?”

I live to compete against the greatest athletes of our day. Tiger Woods is faking injury to avoid me in match play, Curt Schilling has done the same to keep me from stepping into the box, but professional eaters Loren “Bubba” Yarbrough and “Super Paul Bone Breaker Big Mouth Barlow” (officially sanctioned by the International Federation of Competitive Eating) have not only agreed to accept my challenge, but they’ll do so on my home court. Tomorrow morning in the Dave FM studios (and covered live by Fox and CBS television in Atlanta) will be the unofficial Bacon Eating Championship of the world. Loren actually says it is the official Bacon Eating Championship of the Southeast and I’m not heavy enough to argue.

By all means I am undersized and inexperienced. Or, so you think??

Let’s face it, bacon is the most perfect food ever created. We’ve opened up this challenge on the air before… name any food that is prepared and served hot, that cannot be improved with the addition of bacon?

Hey, that wasn’t phrased in the form of a question!

So far, apple pie and oatmeal are the only two responses that I’ve accepted as legit. A pretty short list you must admit. Whether it’s a soup, another meat, vegetable or even a quiche, grab some bacon, throw it on and taste the goodness.

This may be one contest that I’ve been training for my entire life.

Tomorrow morning fire up the “simultini” to watch and listen as Zakk “The Guru of Gristle” Tyler shocks the world. (And then I’m going to celebrate my victory by having a BLT for lunch.)
