"Double Or Nothing?"

Patrick did indeed eat the hottest bowl of Pho known to all of man kind during the last challenge. He was the champ but he wouldn't allow himself to bask in the glory of victory for long. His comment on my blog entry said simply, "double or nothing."

That was a huge mistake. We negotiated what "double" should be and we decided it meant double the spice. The Great Pho Challenge, Part Deux was scheduled...

His first taste of the bowl of complete crap. He almost pukes on the third spoonful.


Another near miss. Danielle, are you proud to be married to such a man?



Defeat and a special note to my boy, Bruno, it's not over til it's over. I like how I am emphatically try to override Bruno telling Mears that "he did it".

Patrick and The Great Pho Challenge

Patrick, as you may know, is always ready to accept a challenge. When we eat Vietnamese Pho, a broth and egg noodle soup, he spices it up with various spices. He brags about how much he puts in. However, he usually is sweating, coughing, crying but all the while, he is bragging. This spawned the challenge. If he could eat the hottest bowl of pho ever then I would buy it.

The spices...

The untainted bowl

Tainted

Struggling

Crying

Water to cure the coughing

The "winner"
The best six clams I've ever spent.
