Look at all this plan-making gusto, throwing caution to the wind, and committing to something 10 months out. That's just too much pressure for me. The best I can manage is a 'Maybe'. And even that is done with trepidation.
Oh, man, I need to go lay down after just thinking about this.

Is this something that you have to live in Chicago to understand?
What if one never attains understanding but is planning to be in Chicago that weekend? Will outsiders be welcomed? or Bombed?
ETA: Also...I can't read months? nm.

It is one week to the bacon bomb
Raise your fork to the sky
and praise Crom
Five days: I'm salivating
My mind full of meat my taste buds gyrating
Three days' fasting will make room
That's what I tell myself to stave off a swoon
Yesterday, ate some lesser meat
But it's just one more week til the Big One ends me

The Bacon Bomb shows up at No. 2 on this list of the city's top eating challenges.
I'd like to think I could solo a Bacon Bomb under the right circumstances (fate of the world in the balance, etc.) but the accompanying platter of fries would slow me down.

Not in 2014--but it was Thursday, not Friday. I recall because there is a comment about being in the back, staking a claim, in the thread. I don't think we had one in 2011, either, as it was a Monday. We might need one this time, as it's not only Friday, it's actually warm enough to leave the house.

Well, they don't do reservations unless it's a "very large group," but they tell me they will probably be able to set aside a table for us since they don't have any other large groups that night. Right now we stand at 10 folks with a bunch of maybes. I am going to tell them 12 unless more people than that turn their maybe to a yes by the time I get up and turn this thing on tomorrow morning.
