FOOD CHALLENGE: The Sliders Burger

The Belly Busters have traveled around the East Coast experiencing tasting the HOTTEST wings in the world made with the Indian Pepper called the "Ghost Pepper" (also used as a weapon in India) however, at Sliders in Plantsville, Connecticut, Paul Blood and Jay Fusco took on two challenges, and one came out victorious.

The table was set...we sat down on a midly crowded mid-week day and realized at the end of the table lay a challenge that beckoned out to us....a challenge that even the world's best could not overtake. It was the SLIDERS BURGER CHALLENGE..included on the burger that you see to your left is:

1. Four 1/2 Pound Burger Patties
2. Eight Slices of Cheese
3. Pulled Pork
4. Chili
5. Onion Rings
6. TWO whole hamburger buns
7. TWO orders of Steak Fries
8. Lettuce/Tomato/Onion
9. Oh, and Bacon



The challenger was PAUL BLOOD...he began to devour the burger piece by piece as the waitress stood by. The rules were, you had to finish the burger in under 40 some odd minutes. Paul struggled as he neared the end but Mike's rallying and motivational taunts of looking like a failure pushed him to eat.

OUTCOME: Paul DID finish the burger...ALL OF IT...however, he could not overtake the steak fries which were dry and just plain superfluous. In Belly Buster's opinion, Paul defeated the challenge because he took down the largest burger that these three men have ever seen in person. Yet, his quest for immortality up on the Sliders' wall will have to wait. After Paul was finished he simply said, "Dude, I can't eat anything for another three days". Sometimes the greatest of champions go unnoticed....and Paul's commitment to taking down the burger beast at Sliders marks one of The Belly Buster's greatest accomplishments.
