drew eats a burger

A road trip in January. Destination: Burlington. The absolute coldest 10 days I've ever felt, when I had to wear a down vest and at least three layers under my winter coat every time we ventured out into the snowy city. One such trip was to make a visit to the Shopping Bag, a small convenience store that, oddly enough, had burgers that were said to be the best in Vermont. A few guys with grease-smudged white aprons were cooking them on a small grill set off in the corner, away from the shelves stocked with off-brand candy and cans of soup. Drew got a Scibeck Sizzler to go.

The famed Sizzler.

He started off strong. Look at the determination.

Soon the hot flashes set in. Drew began to remove articles of clothing, peeling them off one by one as the Sizzler settled in his belly.

He persevered.

Then he got a bloody nose.

He never finished the burger.

 Drew took a two-hour nap immediately following his run-in with the burger. Scibeck Sizzler 1, Drew 0.
