Per the Examiner:
An Arkansas man was rushed to UAMS hospital on Sunday night after he devoured 413 Cheddar Bay Biscuits created by Red Lobster. The food writer not only had one heck of a stomach ache, but slipped into a coma from the cheddar bakes.
“The Mighty Rib,” or Kevin Shalin as he is known from birth, went with a group of food writers and critics to see what the fuss was all about in some of the largest food chains in the area. The food tasters decided upon the Red Lobster in the town of Little Rock to begin their taste testing experience. The Red Lobster restaurant takes a top ten spot for being one of the highest money-making foodie havens in the region.
Witnesses claim Shalin mentioned he had not eaten in a Red Lobster since the age of five. White sitting at the bar, Shalin decided to munch on one of the biscuits until a table became available. The writer ate the biscuit and fell in love.
Red Lobster bakes up the signature Cheddar Bay Biscuits to be served in unlimited quantities and are free to every guest. Each of the biscuits contain 150 calories and the restaurant claims the biscuits are made with approximately 1/8th of a stick of butter for each biscuit. Doctors are speculating that Shalin consumed 51.5 sticks of butter in the 413 biscuits he chowed down on, causing his body to go into a coma.
Kelly Gee, a guest at the restaurant during Shalin’s visit, stated:
After he ate the first one he looked at us and asked if the biscuits are really free. I said, ‘heck yeah those are free, eat as many as you want’. After about 30, I see him over asking the manager what was the record for the most biscuits ate. He just came back and said, ‘I think I can do 415, and started really digging in. His beard was covered in crumbs.’
Shalin told his fellow writers that he was feeling dizzy while eating the 412th biscuit. His friends encouraged him to quit eating the biscuits, but he finished up with number 413. Once the last biscuit was eaten, Shalin fell to the ground and his body went into convulsions.
Doctors believe all of the butter Shalin consumed has blocked the signals that come from the brain. An early morning update revealed the hospital staff have drained approximately 2 gallons of butter from Shalin’s body already and are continuing the process. Once all is clear, they feel he will make a complete recovery. Shalin will recover just in time for his visit to Golden Corral’s chocolate waterfall write-up the following week. Eat up!
