Annapolis, Milkshakes, and AJ Francis
The original post was going to be about how great Maryland plays basketball down the stretch, but…well….
Anyway, Chris and I both followed this story close on Twitter and know that this has a lot of meaning to many of our friends. In fact, this has a lot of meaning for anyone who has lived near or around Annapolis. One of the great, well you can’t really call it a secret, but one of the great restaurants in the Capitol is Chick and Ruth’s.
I know I have had many a breakfast there back when I lived in Annapolis, mostly after a night out on the town, and before taking an out of towner back to the airport. In many cases both. Well Chick and Ruth’s is famous for hosting all the important political figures in the state (there is a table for the Governor aways at the ready), but they also have the Food Challenges.
The Challenge has 4 versions; first is “Man vs. Food” which is 6 lb milkshake and a 1.5 lb sandwich. Number two is the Colossal Milkshake Challenge which is just the 6 lb milkshake (I use the term “just” lightly). The third is the Super Colossal Sandwich Challenge which involves a 3 lb sandwich, and fourth is the Super Duper Colossal Burger Challenge, which consists of a 3 lb cheeseburger. Win and you get your photo on the Chick and Ruth’s website.
Well thanks to Twitter we know now the Maryland’s own AJ Francis is among the latest to finish the 6 lb Milkshake Challenge. It didn’t seem as though he had much trouble consuming the milkshake, but keeping it down was another issue. Congratulations to AJ on being part of an Annapolis tradition (a tradition for others, not me!). I’m sure he has on less thing hanging around on his bucket list.

One of these days I may have to break down and try that. I think doing it would be ok, I am just really worried about the after effects. I mean their regular milkshakes are two glasses worth. If you don’t eat anything else (like chili cheese potatoes and and eggell) I might have room for all that.

You will wear my bright green skinny jeans if I have to tie you up and put them on you myself!
