A video documentation of performance done in Skagastrond, Iceland’s only restaurant Grill 66. The restaurant’s menu are hamburgers and pizzas all named after cities and towns along the famous U.S. Route 66, which was then very important road for the American industry as well as road trips. Inspired by the Americanization found in a remote fishing village, I coordinated a one-night event at the end of my 3 month filmmaking residency stay, where 4 non-Americans attempt to consume the entire 25 menu innone-sitting, hence, achieving the fastest road trip ever made from Chicago (bacon burger) to Hollywood (beef steak sandwich). A DVD of this video is currently archived in the village’s library, as the only record of eating competition that has ever taken place in
the history of Skagastrond.
