The deadline for The Low-Carb Contest — which includes two 750-gram rib-eye steaks, two gin martinis and an avocado salad from Flamme as the prize – finished over two weeks ago. Like I was growing the avocado for the salad in my apartment and waiting for it to ripen. Or I was in a coma after eating “The Tomahawk“, a 1.6 kilogram steak Flamme occasionally stocks. Instead, I’ll blame it on someone taking my computer. Specifically, this guy. Blame him.
Anyway, the idea was to finish this sentence: “This steak is so big _______.” Lots of clever stuff among the more than 40 ideas submitted. Here are three of my favorites:
- That steak is so big that when you climb to the top of it your ears pop. – Charlie
- That steak is so big, if it was in the South China Sea, Beijing would be registering a claim for historical sovereignty. – Mark
- [That steak is so big] you need a shovel to flip it. – JK
Steven Schwankert of SinoScuba helped with the draw. As usual, I wrote the names of the entrants of small pieces of paper, crumpled them, and stuck them in a cup. Schwankert then scrambled them and picked one. And the winner is joed.
Enjoy the prize and thanks to Flamme and to everyone who entered.
Ah well, despite not winning, I’ll take pride in being in your top three selection.
