The other Olympics…
So while the Olympic torch was stashed away for Wednesday’s torch run, and a rally was held at United Nations Plaza to support Tibet, there was another event going on in the same spirit of the Games… the Arby’s Olympics – held at San Francisco’s only Arby’s in the Outer Sunset.
The event was organized on Yelp and was an eclectic group of folks. The idea was hatched last year at Scott Howard of all places and in it’s second year attracted a larger crowd and included sponsored awards for two of the categories (graciously sponsored by Arby’s themselves!).
In the end the two winners of the Arby’s Spirit Awards were:
– Most amount of meat consumed in one sandwich- ChrisT – 40 oz
– Most Beef n Cheddars eaten – Anthony L- 9
