“Dale’s Daniel Boone Burger” to be renamed?

After completing the sandwich in under 30 minutes, Dale was allowed to name it “Dale’s Daniel Boone Burger”. The article says that a diner who finishes the burger in less than the 27 minutes it took Dale Boone will receive the right to rename it. The possibility of renaming the burger was not mentioned in the original article about it.

Hopefully this will shut Luther up for a while.

It will be interesting to see what extracurricular activities Dale Boone was involved in. Brian Seiken claims Boone and Loren “Bubba” Yarbrough almost came to blows in Memphis.

NBC4: Sonya Thomas to do NC Ribs

NBC4 (Washington DC local news) interviewed Sonya Thomas after Nathan’s, which is mentioned in the station’s blog. Sonya said that she intended to do Friday’s rib contest at Harrah’s casino in Cherokee, NC. Dale Boone is also expected to compete in that contest and interesting (in the Chinese curse meaning of the word) things tend to happen when those two compete. I don’t believe that Sonya has ever lost in VA, DC, MD, DE or NC.
