Spread Bagelry throws down the break-the-fast gauntlet

In anticipation of the fast-approaching Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur holidays, Larry Rosenblum of Rittenhouse's Spread Bagelry (262 S. 20th St.) has issued a public challenge to prolific television eater/Jewish guy Adam Richman of Man v. Food fame. The terrifying 13-pound sandwich pictured above is known as The Classic Whale — it consists of a four-pound Montreal-style "Everything" bagel layered with three pounds of nova, two pounds of housemade whitefish salad, two pounds of cream cheese and two pounds of tomatoes, onions and capers. Rosenblum is trying to coax Richman into breaking his fast after sunset on Saturday, Oct. 8 by taking on this Hebrew Moby Dick (it technically has a blowhole!), but he's also planning on adding the item to his catering menu, as it can easily feed 10 to 12 people. He's also receptive to the idea of letting mortal eaters try their hand at finishing it as an everyday challenge, though he has yet to set a price or parameters.

    2 lbs. of cream cheese? That is insanity!
