I Won His Heart at the All-You-Can-Eat

Before my metabolism decided to betray me, I used to pride myself on how much I could eat. So when my now husband, then acquaintence, and I went out for our first meal together, I wanted to know what he was made of. He had asked me to have brunch at a restaurant that is known for its terrific live jazz music, and more importantly, its magnificent buffet brunch. PERFECT. So as soon as we sat down, I challenged him to an eating contest. He’s 6’2″ and 190 lbs. I’m 5’4″ on a good day and onehundredandsomethingerotherpounds — so obviously, as soon as I put the challenge out there, he snickered.

It. was. ON.

Waffles and fruit compote, omelettes and taters, bacon and sausages, tortellini, lasagna, forget the salad, roast beef, mashed potatoes, plate for plate I matched everything he ate, and while I’m pretty sure he was trying not to look disgusted, I kept shovelling food into my mouth, so much that I was about to tap out because I could feel my stomach about to explode – and suddenly, he said those magical words “YOU WIN.” I didn’t know if he just couldn’t stand to watch me eat another bite, or if he was truly giving in, but when he asked for a rematch, it was a good excuse to see him again 😉
