Kodiak gourmand?, admi

I and curious spectators gather
jedat Ronnie’s Gafe Wednes
I day to witness an eating con
| test.
' The contestants were Elliptt
] Hymans, director of the USO.
<vs a four and one-half pound
I sirloin steak with all the trim
mings. Hymans lost by default
while within a pound and a
’half of the end. “The salad
!is what fouled me up,” he
i groaned as he slowly heaved
himself away from the
counter.
Betting and speculation ran
! high Tuesday and Wednesday
) among local trenchermen
! when details of the knife and
! fork contest became known.
! A1 Miller, chef and head of
101
5
Ronnie’s Cafe, provided the
victuals for the now legendary
repast.
Hymans and Miller decided
upon the menu. Judges of the
contest were Paul Dupler,
Tommy Renshaw and Clarence
Haas.
The menu for the contest
was an eight ounce glass of
grapefruit juice, a 12 oz.
shrimp cocktail, one pound of
asparagus, one and one half
pounds of lettuce and tomato
salad, one-third of a chocolate
cream pie, coffee, bread and
butter. The main course was
the four and one half pound
steak.
Terms or the contest were:
Hymans eat everything, no
charge. Failure to go the en
j tire route, pay double. Cost:
$16.00. Time limit: One hour.
The event started fast,
and promptly at six o’clock,
with Hymans speedily down
ing the grapefruit and shrimp
cocktail.
He chewed into the salad
with great dispatch and gave
evidence that he enjoyed each
mouthful, spectators said. At
one point he is believed to
have taken an extra big breath
but most spectators discounted
this and said it was only a sigh
of pure enjoyment and de
noted that Hymans was en
joying his work.
The main course, the steak,
brought a iow chuckle from
[Hymans and many envious
glances and involuntary "chop
licking” from the spectators.
Some spectators claimed that
they hadn’t seen four and one
half pounds of steak in years.
Deftly carving out a chunk
of the beef Hymans was off
fast and running well. At the
first quarter he was still ahead j
but at the half (half way in J
the steak, that is) he began to
slow. !
Final result: All the victuals i
gone, including one third of j
the chocolate pie. except one
third of the steax. Miller was
lead into the winner’s circle.
Hymans, under his own
power, but bulging, tottered
off to a meeting.
