Eagle’s Deli (Boston) burger Wall of Fame removed
Steve Reeves wrote a negative review of Eagle’s Deli in Boston which mentions the removal of the Polaroid pictures of diners who finished a large burger. The owner of the restaurant responded to the negative review on Digg and says he will set up an online wall of fame at an unspecified time in the future:
The pictures were of people who ate the Godzilla burger (1lb of beef, 4 slices of cheese and 1lb of fries) or higher, most of the pictures were people who ate the Godzilla as very few have finished more then that.
a. The pictures were taken down because their simply was no more room, we have pictures hanging just about everywhere you could pin one and there was no room left and we had stacks of photos to put up with no where to put them.
b. We had 2 ideas
i. Make the new photo level the “Cowabunga” (2lbs of beef, 8 slices of cheese, 2lbs of fries)
ii. Put the pictures up and every year take them down and move them to the web-site making room for new pictures
c. After taking down the photos, patching the walls and painting, we were complemented by many customers, most of them regulars who had been coming for 5, 10 15 some even 20 years on how much cleaner and brighter the places looked and asking us not to put the photos back up. After long considerations we decided to stop the Polaroid photos.
i. At some point all old photos will make it to the web-site and we will look into doing a direct to web-site pictures.
The Phantom Gourmet reports that the first person to finish the deli’s 5 pound burger and 5 pounds of fries will have the sandwich named after him or her. The website also has a list of the best restaurants in Boston serving huge portions.
