Patch Reader Takes On RUB's 7-Pound Sandwich

Months after Joe Frejes tried and failed to conquer Real Urban Barbecue's behemouth of a sandwich -- a 7-pound sandwich with sliced Texas sausage, pulled pork, spicy pickles, a pint of cole slaw and a 10-inch bun -- Highland Park Patch reader and Deerfield High School junior Dylon Field decided to give it a try.

Here's how the attempt went, in his own words:

Tuesday through Thurs I had the largest meals i'v ever had, and from 6 p.m. on July 26 on I had small meals.

Doing the challenge I felt like I could tackle all the meat and bread... but then I realized there's still alot of pickles and coleslaw left... and then I realized I couldn't do it.

After the challenge I just had a small headache.
