Lou Mongello, author and host of the WDW Radio Show did something no one in the history of Disney World was ever been able to accomplish. At this years Food and Wine Festival in Epcot, he ate everything!
“I’ve seen a few people eat one everything, but I’ve never seen someone actually eat everything,” Stated Jabba the Hutt – Food and Wine enthusiast.
Mr. Mongello started eating at the first booth around 11am. He kept eating his way around the world over the next eight hours. It is estimated he consumed four hundred and five pounds of food and over eighty gallons of wine.
“I’ve never seen anything like it. His wife had to literally roll him through the last two countries. It’s a good thing no one got in the way when she was rolling him or they’d be a pancake now,” stated Disney fan favorite Goofy.
Many people were amazed by the display of digestive fortitude. Words such as epic, amazing, inspirational, and disturbing were uttered by many.
Some were not as impressed by the display of joyful gluttony. A number people complained that there was no food left for anyone else and demanded a refund. Remy the Rat was upset that all the hard work he put into making his world famous Ratatouille was erased in less than three seconds.
“I made enough Ratatouille for one hundred people and he inhaled before I could blink,” Remy exclaimed.
It is unknown if Lou will attempt the feat again before the festival closes. If he does the chefs will be ready next time and have additional food and wine to bring out after he rolls out of the park.
As an attorney, I am compelled to clarify a statement in this post.
ReplyDeleteI, in fact, did NOT eat "everything." Alas, while galloping (trotting?) to Thailand, I do believe that a very small, yet significant portion of pretzel bread did fall to the ground. Following the "5 second rule," I had planned to finish it, before it was run over by a wet stroller. Game over.
Hope I have still earned your respect... ;)
Hmmm.....IT COUNTS! You still have the record.
ReplyDeleteAnd for the record - If one wanted to try one of everything at food and wine, it would cost over $800. Of course that's not counting the medical expenses that would follow attempting something like that.
