T-12 hours and counting...
The 2010 Krispy Kreme Challenge
The short of it? Run 2 miles to the doughnut shop, eat a dozen and then run back 2 miles. Oh, by the way, do this within one hour. Should be a BLAST!!! Besides, the proceeds go to a charity.
Wish me luck...

Tough enough to overstuff....
It's particularly cool when they bring the food to you. Bea's Restaurant has been around Chattanooga since the early 1950s. Just bring your appetite! Food is continually brought to your lazy susan table as the existing trays get empty.
We're talking fried chicken, beef patties in a brown gravy, pulled pork, cole slaw, potato salad, potatoes in white gravy, greens of some type, pinto beans, rolls, cornbread muffins and a tasty peach cobbler (particularly crazy when topped with additional butter)! Just bring your appetite!!!

Food, food, food...
The main course (speaking for myself only, of course) was a medium wheat crust pizza from this joint. Why eat at a pizza joint called Lupi's? It was chosen as the Best of the Best 2010 pizza by readers of the Chattanooga Times Free Press. I can see why. If you're in Chattanooga and jonesin' for some pizza, Lupi's should certainly be at or near the top of the list.
You might like to think an entire pizza (hey, it was only a medium) was enough, but...
We wanted dessert, so we went to this little diner (one of two in town) called City Cafe Diner. Having been there before, I knew their desserts reign supreme. They have a variety of cheesecakes, regular cakes and pies. Most of the regular cakes are nearly six inches tall. And they are insanely sweet. I had a slice of "tiramisu cake". Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! And yeah, I ate the entire thing. Talk about carb overload. You know what? You only live once...
