    The Dagwood Challenge – Relive the Magic!

    The Travel Channel has a new show called Man vs. Food. The host travels around the country profiling good food cities and taking on one of the culinary eating feats in that town. The show came to Columbus and covered an OSU tailgate, Schmidt’s and the Thurman Burger. For the grand finale…. The Dagwood at the Ohio Deli.

    The Dagwood Challenge was one of the first CU Food field trips of the year. There was drama – Coremodels defeated by a side of fries, Zach showing his unexpected skill in the realm of food consumption and Roland…finding his dancing ability limited by 2 1/2 pounds of lunch meat.

    The Columbus episode of Man vs. Food will air on the Travel Channel, December 10th at 10:30 PM with multiple repeats over the following week. Walker put together a great documentary video of that CU Dagwood Challenge. I have to feel that that may have led the Travel Channel to our fair city.

An already busy holiday week became a juggernaut of customers that has not subsided as we progress to the countdown on the countertop. It was a journey of four generations of tradesmen, butchering at the highest level to get to this final cut.
