67 Days of Smiles

We rounded up our sports themed day at Shula’s Steak House in the Dolphin Hotel near Epcot.  Shula’s is themed after the 1972 Miami Dolphin’s perfect season, and named after their coach Don Shula.  This is by far our favorite steakhouse that we have been to here in Orlando.  The atmosphere was great, service was wonderful (we loved that they bring the cuts of steak to your table and tell you everything about them before you order) and the steaks were the best all of us had ever had.

One fun thing about Shula’s is the 48 oz challenge.  Basically if you eat an entire 48 ounce porterhouse and live to tell about it you become a member of the 48 ounce club and get your name on a plaque in the restaurant.  My friend Joe took on the challenge.  Here are his thoughts:

When you think of the number 48, what do most people think of?  Is it the 48 continental states, 6 multiplied by 8, your old sports number, or anything in between?  I once was like the rest of you and thought this way, but now it is clear.  Through hours of shoving bite after bite of juicy, perfectly cooked 48 ounces of steak from Shula’s Steakhouse into my mouth only one thing comes to mind.  I am now an eating champion and no one can take that or my membership into a very select club (alright there is over 25,000 in it) away from me.  For those of you who doubt yourselves in life, just think to yourself and remember…Joe Sternad succeeded and so can you.
