A Penn Grad's Never Ending Journey

This past Saturday, Matt Pershe's (C'14) Never Ending Pasta Pass expired, ending his 7-week stretch of almost exclusively eating Olive Garden pasta. According to his calculations, Pershe consumed $438 worth of food on the $99 dollar pass, making joining the Olive Garden family more appealing to ramen-subsisting students everywhere.

Pershe blogged daily about his experience, earning him more publicity for his definitely unfiltered pictures of take-out pasta then your most carefully Instagramed gourmet delight. Perhaps even more impressive, Pershe managed to survive his ordeal with both his BMI and sanity in tact. Or, in the words of John Oliver, a "one way ticket to the hospitaliano."
