There was an article back in the Reveille back when he was in school on how he used to go to the Great Wall Chinese Buffet on College and polish off 12 plates in one sitting.

You mean it wasn’t always a 12-plate minimum at Great Wall?

Still the only place I’ve found that had Shrimp Toast on the line.

No wonder they were always out of sweet and sour pork.

As a former fatty, I loved that place. Is it still there?

Nah. Apparently they violated several health code regulations and got shut down.

345 violations in 3 year period

It changed owners years ago and has steadily circled the drain under whatever name it became.

You should have seen him place an order at Jack in the Box. It was truly impressive.

I dont think i knew what a calorie or sodium was in college.

Id love to go back and get some data on how many i consumed when id go to Chinese buffet or Furrs.

Not to mention the whole box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch id kill in one sitting.

That shrimp toast was on point! Polished off many meals there in my college days.

I used to run a well known Rib Joint in BR. I have fed a lot of football players. I didn't get a full count, but I would guess AW knocked out 7 racks of ribs, along with a plate of pots.

He might still hold the record for leg quarters at the annual football BBQ event.

shite, I’ve been knowing about him since he was playing at West Monroe. OLineman aren’t as flashy or have the big name as a qb or skill player, but he’s as much of an accomplished LSU player as their is and is arguably the best Offensive tackle we’ve ever had. Plenty of interior lineman like Mawae and Andolsek, but we don’t get the tackles like him very often.
