NFL Redskins Meet Chubby's BBQ Challenge

By JULIETE ROSSANT Over the past 24 hours, a number of visitors to superchefblog have been reading about Chubby's BBQ -- not the first thing I expect readers to beeline for from a blog about super chefs. I contacted owner Tom Caulfield, and he explained: Juliette, This week, I had Randy Thomas of the Washington Redskins in for an eating challenge. If he could eat 6 lbs. of food in one hour, he and three teamates would eat for free for the rest of the year. He ate: 1 lb. of chili and fried garlic and parmesean toast, a triple order of hot crab dip , a full rack of baby backs, 1 lb. of pulled pork, 24 jumbo shrimp, 1 lb. of beef briskit, collard greens, corn bread, cheese cake, and a pumpkin parfait. ESPN, NBC, and Fox 5 sports filmed it. He won, going away! It was on Fox last night and ESPN Tuesday night. Channel 4 will run it this week and during the Sunday Redskins pregame show, either 12/12 or 12/19, 11:30 a.m. It was incredible to watch this guy do his thing! Hope to see you soon. Tom With TV coverage like that, perhaps there is deeper meaning in a visit to superchefblog by an anonymous Disney employee -- as Tom joked, "Maybe Disney will want to merge!" You bet -- sure wouldn't hurt Disney. Previous articles: Back to Chubby's Columbus Day Special: Chubby's BBQ of Emmitsburg
