Eagle's Deli

The EAGLE'S DELI takes pride in the fact that its food is greasy, unhealthy, and can kill a vegetarian from 50 feet. A favorite among high-school sports teams and Boston College students, the deli has been rated the second-best place to pig out in the world by the Travel Channel. The well-fed cooks work hard to retain this reputation, offering enormous portions of fries, onion rings, and, of course, burgers. The worst offender is the Challenge Burger, which has five pounds of hamburger (comprising 10 hamburger patties), five pounds of fries, 20 slices of cheese, and 20 slices of bacon. Those who can eat it in less than one hour get $150 dollars and, more important, eternal fame: the Eagle will rename the Challenge burger in that glutton's honor.
