First of all..... I'm still in my PRIME ! I don't eat cheeseburgers anymore. Well almost never. As far as how many? Whew. Let's just say that I would indulge from time to time and I'm not going to give away any secrets. There was this little joint called Henry's. One weekend I was up for a challenge and I enjoyed making people laugh even at the risk of hurting myself so I proceeded to eat a lot of burgers over the weekend. I'm not proud of it but I know Ralph and Russ won't let it go......
Pete, How could we let anything that awesome go?Okay..okay, Ill let the cat out of the bag. Pete buzzed through 56 Henrys in one glorious weekend. He became legendary after that. In my eyes, he still is. But that is a totally different matter.

Wow Ralph. You realize you'll be in hot water now. 56? How big were those burgers? Were they the size of a mcdonalds hamburger or little white castle burgers. Either way, that's a lot. But hey, it's those things that make reminiscing fun I suppose.
Ome time my family went to Red Lobster for the "all you can eat shrimp" special. I watched my brother eat 87 shrimp! He kept 'em down too. Yikes.

Henry's; Lansing 1966
* Today, it's a garage.
* Mama Mia! 15 cents for a burger in 1966? Now, where did I put my time machine?!

Well that sure does a lot for my image. "Hey let's go to Henry's and watch Pete pig out on Burgers".... Says a lot for all of us having something to do on a weekend doesn't it? Maybe if we're lucky, we can watch him vomit. Now that would be fun. We haven't talked about the chicken consumption yet... Come on jar your memory.... Let's hear some stories about that.... I was a growing boy... what do you want from me?
Suffice it to say, if you were chicken, you wouldn't want to be near Pete.
Hey Pete. Remember those great times at your parent's house and the family gatherings? I'll bet your mom and aunts bought up every chicken available in the Detroit metro area. And they definitely knew how to prepare those birds. Damn..I can still taste it. Great memories, Pete.
My mom's was the best! Flour,Crisco, Whew... ! Can't eat that way no more. I still do love my Chicken.... That's all we could afford when I was a kid. I'm glad I liked it or I would have gone hungry... the bird was 10 cent a pound! We lived on it....
There was a young drummer called Pete who had a big thing about meat A quarter pounder or two would just never do but fifty six, well that was some feat!!!
I have a new theory about the moaning female on "Come With Me". Norman's secretary challenged Peter to a burger eating competition and threw in the towel after 57 minutes. Norman captured the sound of her moaning as the stomach cramps set in.
Hey Peter
If I thought your appetite in your younger years had produced any lasting effects, I wouldn't be joining in the fun. Clearly those calories ended up somewhere else. I reckon you worked off a few thousand on "In Concert" alone. Maybe we should consider it as Drum Fuel.
By the way, that burger photo looks appetising. I laughed when I saw the tiny bit of salad in the middle.
Most of the time..... those crazy burger episodes were on a dare. I was always one to take a dare. If it made everyone laugh then I was in... They were very small burgers......
I remember when me & my brother would see who could eat a whole large pizza (12 inch) plus a liter of pop first. Whoever lost paid for all of the food & drink. Ok, that was my early 20's. Today, I could still do it but as one ages, you gotta watch those calories and such. Those were good times.
56 burgers! man that's was out of my league. The best I could ever do was two meatball subs for dinner when I use to work evenings back in the '80's. The burger story did remind me of one of my younger brothers who use to buy mulitple BIG MACS and one time he had a left over and put it in his glove compartment. A week or so later he found it sitting neatly packaged where he'd left it.
