The Mancake Challenge - Man Vs Food

I while back, Adam Richman from the Travel Channel's "Man Vs Food", hit up Portland and the Stepping Stone Cafe.

If you're not familiar with the place, they have some really great food, but aside from that, are known the country over for their famous 13" Mancakes. The typical stack of three is absolutely huge, to the point of hanging over the edges of the large plate they transport them to your table on.

Anyway, my friend, Wade Pack, and I took a trip over to the Stepping Stone Cafe at 2390 NW Quimby Street in Portland to see what all the fuss was about for ourselves.

I chose their freshly-made Banana Nut French Toast and Wade, being the many-man he is, decided to go for the challenge. As daunting as the Wall of Fame behind him was, he sucked it up and order the full stack of 13" Mancakes.

Here is the results (BTW, he's going for Round 2 soon!):

 

Rose City Rollers' Wheels of Justice vs. Duke City

Coming to the Oaks Park Hangar Saturday, August 22nd

After eradicating all the dirty vehicles in Portland with their car-wash fundraiser in July, the Wheels of Justice decided they are going to use the funds raised to fight crime in San Francisco. On August 8th they hit the road, bringing justice to long time rivals B.ay A.rea D.erby Girls. These girls are naughty and this will be a battle you do not want to miss. However, if you cannot make the trip, you will still be able to catch Wheels of Justice at Derby Daze.

Join us on August 22nd, 6pm at Oaks Park Hangar to see WoJ vs. Duke City's Munecas Muertas in a WFTDA sanctioned bout. Duke City's Munecas Muertas are Albuquerque, New Mexico's All-Stars who are currently ranked 6th in the WFTDA Western Region. The Wheels of Justice (now ranked #3 in the region) hope to use this bout to keep on track with their goals of getting to and dominating WFTDA Regionals, Nationals and the World.
