Want to win 2 tickets?
I was eating at Stepping Stone Cafe and the pancakes there are huge.
So, here's my new challenge: send in preferably a video, but at least a photo, with the food server who will vouch for you of you eating as many pancakes as you can. You can send them to info@channingfrye.com if you don't have your own link available. The person who eats the most pancakes in one sitting will get two tickets to any home game (not a playoff game).
The deadline is March 1, 2009.

i couldv’e been in the running if i were still 12 years old! I could pack away a good 10 or so back then…now my body only lets me eat 2 or 3…Probably better for me that way…

Lol, this is tough work! I ate a full stack of mancakes (2.4 lbs of blueberry whole wheat mancakes with 8 oz of pure maple syrup) as a fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society last year. Might I add, I’m a small girl! The 8 hours of pain and digestive issues I had following was well worth the $250 I raised for charity…but for a basketball game? I’d have to think twice. Maybe for a date with one of the players….IF they could keep up with an endurance athlete I suppose

The Stepping Stone is one of the best kept secrets of NW Portland. To tie into Katie’s comment, I think the team should hold an eat off. Two players are chosen, my guess is that Ike and Greg could probably eat the most the fastest, and people come to the Stone and pledge money towards the winning Blazer. Whoever finished the stack of pancakes the fastest would win the money for his charity of choice. I would drop $20 on it. Or even a GO vs Channing match would suffice. Make it happen!

Fry-Lok, my man and I think it’d be more fun to chill and eat pancakes w/you (and your girl/fiance?) Sometime.

After my roommate and I win this pancake contest, we’re gonna challenge y’all to a face to face pancake palooza! (My secret weapon is substituting frye sauce for syrup…)

I’ll starve myself then eat a ton of pancakes. I’ll be elated that I’m going to win until a really tiny Japanese dude walks in and starts dipping his pancakes in a cup of water. There will be a three-way race right there at the Stepping Stone between the Japanese guy, me, and a 600 pound redneck named Bubba. We’ll all be around the 20 mark and Bubba will start crying because he can barely stuff anymore pancakes into his mountain-like body. Meanwhile the Japanese guy is consuming pancakes like it’s the air we breathe. With Bubba distracted I’ll pull into second but shortly after my 23rd pancake I’ll go into cardiac arrest. The Japanese dude will finish first with an astonishing 29 pancakes. Wow! The Japanese guy will take me as his guest as he feels I put up a fierce competition, endangering my own life. Bubba will vanish feeling like a failure only to return 10 years in the future to challenge the crown of the Stepping Stone pancake king.

Where are the seats??
Must this be at a restaurant or can I make a few hundred mini-pancakes?

Channing,
Let’s take this contest all the way live!
What do you say, you come join me, Ed Forman, as a guest for an interview on my live, 70’s style, late-night talk show, “The Ed Forman Show, with ME! ED FORMAN!” which performs EVERY TUESDAY night @ DANTE’S.
“Matt Foley has been reincarnated!” Says the Dallas Observer, “Chris Farley’s beloved motivational speaker has emerged from the van down by the river and found a fresh reinterpretation via Ed Forman, an equally greasy and disheveled looking guy who hosts his own live talk show. Drawing from ’70s-era Johnny Carson and Dick Cavett style shows—back when celebrity self-promotion took a back seat to personality and polyester suits deserved co-host status— Forman combines improv, music, interviews and sketch comedy as he preaches the gospel of being the best you possible. It’s over the top, it’s surprisingly highbrow, and Forman’s swingin’ suits, oversized wire glasses and sage advice would make Chris Farley proud!”
We all know how EDcellent you would be in front of our studio audience, rocking an interview about Laughing, Loving, and Living, as well as all things awesome that you are an EDpert on. In addition we’d like to bring your pancake challenge to the stage!
What’d ya say?!?
