If there is one thing you should know about Push, it’s that we’re a competitive bunch—whether it’s seeing who can get the most clicks on their profile on pushhere.com, creating the best work for our clients, or even eating hamburgers.
Last week was the 2011 Smokey Bones Burger Battle, a three-round competition held at every Smokey Bones location across the country. The winning title went to the super eater who could down a total of two pounds of burger—with all the fixins—the fastest. A portion of the proceeds from the contestants' entry fees benefited Homes for Our Troops.
While Push Art Director, Kevin Taylor, rose to the occasion, other Pushers cheered him on in what he claims a “fierce competition.” Many honorary Pushers, aka significant others of Push employees, competed as well.
While each location crowned a local winner, the grand prize winner of the Burger Battle Grand Prize ($2,000 and a party for 20 at Smokey Bones) went to Joseph from Reading, PA. Joseph soared through the first two rounds by eating two half-pound burgers, then scarfed down a one-pound burger in round three in an astounding 1 minute, 14 seconds.
Needless to say, we're impressed. Did we mention this was Joseph's second competitive eating challenge that day?
