And you have just 30 minutes to clean your plate. Of the rules, there are only two: 1) you must sign a wavier agreeing not to seek damages from us for getting your starch on, and 2) you must eat all of it, all by yourself. Help from your tablemates is prohibited and grounds for disqualification. Win, and we’ll buy your platter of Poutine—it’s a spendy one: at $39.95, that’s no small potatoes. We’ll also snap your photo and tack it to our Wall of Poutine Champions. Plus, you’ll give yourself the best gift a man* can give himself: bragging rights. Of course, if can’t finish your plate and you feel the need to bail, you’re still a winner to us. Just for signing on to play, we’ll give you a T-shirt commemorating your enthusiasm and dedication! YUM! Thanks for asking Kari!,
