On 3/6/2013, the Poutineville restaurant on Montréal's Ontario East Street (www.poutineville.com) was the scene of a sustained and savage Bear attack that left one 15 lb pan of poutine dead and one Connecticut-based competitive eater somewhat full.
Unlike certain other parts of Canada, the largest city within the predominantly French-speaking province of Quebec is generally considered free of ravenous ursine megafauna.
However, the relative peace and quiet of the city was shattered around 19:30 local time when a jaw-chomping gurgitator known to science as Jamie 'the Bear' McDonald picked up a fork and promptly proceeded to pound the hell out of "the biggest poutine in Montréal".
Dubbed the Heart Attack, this gargantuan grizzly growler of a dish consists of 5 lbs of fries (or chips if you're Brits) buried beneath a further 10 lbs of bacon, chicken, hot dogs, ground beef, smoked ham, onions, green peppers, diced tomatoes, mushrooms, curd cheese, mozzarella cheese and poutine sauce.
Usually served, we understand, with four big forky things, this dramatic dish of epic dimensions is not typically tackled by a solo sitter but then the Bear, as his track record readily reveals, is not exactly your typical diner, having this past January been named by All Pro Eating (APE) as "the undisputed Number One Ranked Independent Competitive Eater in the World".
But could the Bear, who, in his debut year last year won "five straight APE-sanctioned competitive eating championships in addition to 60 other food eating contests and challenges", polish off every last particle of poutine within the requisite 30-minute time limit?
