After all, this is a transitional government whose mandate is to ensure socioeconomic stability and facilitate the country’s return to democracy through free...
...were good, but amateurs,” Thomas said. “This year we have a team of professional eaters.” This year, Thomas also shared with his team his secret of eating burritos quickly. “Don’t chew or bite; just swallow,” he said. Alexander P. Douglas ’09-’11 said that while the grand prize was enticing, he participated in the contest primarily for the thrill and the free burrito. “I ate at Qdoba in preparation...
