4 lb. Burger Slayer

Nate Kabat of E5 Knighted 4 lb. Burger Slayer
By: David Edelman

During Earth 5's trip to Miami, Nate Kabat of Earth 5 successfully ate a four-pound hamburger in under an hour at Grandma Max's Truck Stop in Salina, Kansas. The massive hamburger weighs in at a whopping four pounds of cow after being cooked. A waitress on staff revealed that less than 30% of the patrons that attempt the challenge end up finishing the burger. Nate polished off 3/4th of the burger in less than half an hour. With cheers of encouragement, he trudged on and managed to finish the burger with a little help from his no so full teammates.

After the meal Nate received the coveted Hamburger t-shirt and his picture was placed on the wall next to fellow Americorps NCCC member Robert Olsen, of Earth 4 who also finished the burger last year.
