Celebrating my 25th Birthday
This past Saturday I celebrated my 25th birthday. It was food-themed for the most part, which is just fine by me because I love food.
Rob got me Almost Meatless as a present and Arren got me some turtle fudge from Kilwin’s.
Also, for my birthday I thought it would be a good idea1 to eat the Double Bypass Burger for my birthday dinner at the Vortex Bar and Grill here in Atlanta. Here’s the official menu description:
Topped with two fried eggs, six slices of American cheese, and eight slices of bacon, all served between the two grilled cheese sandwiches that we use in place of the regular hamburger buns.
In preparation, I only had fruit and salad for most the day. When I ordered the dinner that night, the waitress was unfazed. The burger arrived, and it didn’t seem as big as I thought it would. Here’s a video of me tackling the burger (9 minutes, 4 minutes of which are of me chewing and rolling my eyes back).
I didn’t really taste the burger, I was more focused on finishing the burger. Also, I had to divide the burger in two because I couldn’t fit the whole thing in my mouth. So, one portion was a grilled cheese sandwich with a burger on top (the meat was adequately juicy) and the other portion was a grilled cheese sandwich with fried eggs, bacon, and cheese on top of it (the breakfast sandwich portion). I also subconsciously managed to eat a good amount of my tater tots (which are always very good). The meat didn’t really get to me, it was the massive amounts of cheese. The next day, I just ate salad and fruit in an effort to detox.
So, last year I had written that I felt stagnant, that is certainly not the case this year. My 24th year of life has been pretty eventful, for one thing I got into grad school and I moved to a different city that was completely different from New York City. I also paid off my student loans. I learned how to do lot of different things like, silkscreen and Processing.
I don’t think I feel old at 25. Sometimes I still feel and see the world (and sometimes act) like a kid.
