Diet Challenge Finale and Melt Bar and Grilled


It was on vacation that the Diet Challenge Finale was determined and tah dah.... I was the biggest loser!! I lost a total of 16 pounds in 6 weeks. I am thrilled as this brings my grand total so far to 36 pounds. I'm not sure how well Adam did for his final weigh in but he said I won. He is going to post his finals soon so keep checking back. I offered to cancel since I was overcome with a bout of diverticulitis and was limited in my eating and therefore had an advantage, but Adam said no and who am I to argue over a free meal.

My prize meal was a delicious Godfather at Melt Bar and Grilled. [see picture above] Check out the link, the food is delicious and the restaurant very unique. We had all seen it on Man v Food  with Adam Richmond, on the Travel Channel and were excited to try the food. My daughter even wanted to try the challenge, a four pound grilled cheese, but was told it wasn't as tasty as it sounds and would take an hour to prepare. We had already waited over an hour to be seated [there is a very small dinning room] so she opted for the Purple Parma instead. It was a wise choice and delicious. [really go check the menu it is amazing]. For those of you that like to save money, if you get a tattoo of their logo on your body, you get a 25% discount for life.

As I said above we waited almost 2 hours for a table, but we were warned and spent the time laughing and talking in the waiting area. Little Addison took a nap on her daddys shoulder and the older girls took turns feeding her when she woke up.





Most of us didn't finish our sandwiches but there is always room for dessert and we shared some deep fried Twinkies... it was a perfect meal with perfect friends. [more vacation stories to follow]

cong on your weight loss you deserve a special item.

Allyson said...

I would say melted cheese and a fried Twinkie is the PERFECT way to celebrate weight loss. And yes, you could blame diverticulitis for your extra advantage...but I'm SURE there is a big ole puddle of sweat under that bike with your name all over it. ;)
