The Godfather, and five witnesses

An unreasonable dinner at Mel’s, documented by very good friends.

I finished the Godfather Challenge at Mel’s Diner in Waterloo. Five friends were there to witness it, which means there are photographs and I will never be allowed to forget it.

Shayan and friends at Mel’s Diner — Before. An optimistic table.

The Godfather Challenge meal — The task at hand.

Shayan celebrating after the challenge — After. One red champion shirt.

The shirt is a good souvenir. The better part is having people who will sit through a deeply unnecessary adventure with you.
