Welcome to Iowa Julie!


On Monday I went back to work, so Julie came to town to hang out with Willem for a few weeks and visit us. So Sunday night Julie was getting into town and we told her to meet us at the Airliner for dinner. The Airliner has $1.50 slices of pizza on Sunday's and it's just a neat, local restaurant.Well, in true Jason style, we get ready to order and Jason decides to order the "Airbus" rather than pizza. He read that if you eat the "Airbus" in 30 minutes you get a free t-shirt. The description said the hamburger had 2 lbs. of meat and a generous helping of fries. So while Julie and I's pizza is ready and waiting, the waitress informs us it will be 15-20o minutes for this "Airbus". Well, was it worth the wait!The waitress brought out this plate with the biggest hamburger I've ever seen and informs Jason that she's going to start the timer. For the next half hour, Julie, Willem and I watch Jason devour this meal to the point where there are only remnants of the meal left on the plate. He did this in a way that only someone who had just watched the World Hot Dog eating contest could do. He did it with intensity, precision and speed. Unfortunately, the time limit did him in. In the end, no t-shirt was won, but he did find an awfully ironic way to welcome Julie, our beloved vegetarian.
