THE FDR CHALLENGE

In Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, there isn't much. A college, a couple run down bars that mirror the once powerful steel-mill. However, small sparkles of hope are glittered around the town. One of them being the new Sands Casino; the other, Roosevelt's 21 and the FDR Challenge.




Roosevelt's 21 is a small sports bar with a huge item on the menu that forced Belly Busters to go down there and attempt the challenge. The FDR Challenge consists of: three 1/2 pound burgers, slices of pork, with LTB (lettuce, tomato, bacon) and onion with spicy mayonnaise...oh, not to mention 1.5 pounds of chili cheese fries. Plainly put, the burger is absolutely massive and very delicious.





The challenge is reminiscent of Sliders BUT with one difference: the food tastes much better and the chili-cheese fries proves to be more of a difficulty to fight through. Were we able to do it in under 30 minutes to get the free meal?

Unfortunately, no...but it still was fun to look at. The taste was great but after the first burger, it was difficult to fight through, especially with the fries that still loomed in the distance.



Still it was a fun time and provided laughs for not only us, but the waitress staff and a couple locals...isn't that what really counts?
