Toast Wrestling
Created | Updated Aug 13, 2004
Not many people know this, but there once was a very popular sport in the italian bistro chef business called toast wrestling; or as they called it, panini slapping. It consisted of mainly two chefs, and maybe a waitress (depending on what country it was being held in) who would have to stand inside of a large chalk circle, about ten feet in diameter, and decide who's going to wrestle the toast first. Once a challenger was chosen, he or she (again, depending on the country) got inside a slightly obscured square, to square off with their foe. Now, the point of the game is throw the opponent out of the square. The rules were quite simple. There was no biting, but other than that, anything went. So you can imagine that these matches were quite short. So, to fix this, the chefs hired scietists to give the toast mind powers. This was overall a bad idea, and the reason why Toast Wrestling is not done anymore, at least not professionally.
