That’s a big burger. You might think that eating this burger might come with some guilt. Au contraire. Read what Adam Kustra sent SLU Connection about the U.’s behemoth burger eating competition:

The U. is launching a new burger called “The Graduate” and we are having a competition on Sept. 11 to see who can eat it the fastest. Best time wins $250 in cash, $100 for second and $50 for third. It is $20 to enter, and all extra money will be donated to a scholarship benefiting the SLU Center for Entrepreneurial Studies. We hope to have a big turn out, especially lots of hungry SLU students.

See? You win some money and the rest goes straight to a scholarship. The burger still goes straight to your hips.

“The assistance fund is based on the philosophy that no student should ever have to choose between having a child and having an education,” said Matt Von Rueden, president of SLU’s Students for Life. “To put that belief into practice, Students for Life members are providing concrete support to fellow students who face crisis pregnancies.”
