Simi’s loser and winner of the day

Loser

Jim and Alex Burns, of Fishtown, Philadelphia

A Philadelphia couple expecting their first child have sparked outrage for requesting high-maintenance, Paleo-friendly, and elaborate meals from their friends on a crowdsourcing page.

 

Jim and Alex Burns are expecting their first child on April 29.

 

To prepare, the couple set up a profile on Meal Train - a website that allows friends and loved ones to make home-cooked meals and deliver them to those who are sick, or in the Burns' case, have just welcomed a baby.  

 

But the Burns' went overboard with their Meal Train listing, writing in more than 30 specific recipes they'd like delivered, and then sharing it to a neighborhood's social network.

 

Recipes included elaborate options like 'Paleo breakfast egg muffins with thinly sliced cremini mushrooms, pork breakfast sausage and three tablespoons of melted and cooled ghee'.

 

Other requests included 'Spiced lentil, sweet potato and kale whole wheat pockets'.

 

The soon-to-be-dad also said that if the couple didn't want to be 'distracted' by people bringing them food, he would 'put a big white cooler in our side yard'.

 

A neighbor then shared the post on Twitter where the couple faced immediate backlash for their high maintenance favor.  

 

'Amazon Prime and Door Dash/Uber Eats/Grub Hub all exist. I’m all for a meal train but aside from actual allergies from food , you should be grateful for what you get. I also get the Check Ins but JEEZ they are high maintenance,' one Twitter user said.  

 

'So basically, he's not sure he'll get enough sleep to be able to step up and help his wife with the household duties, and he's asking the neighborhood to that s**t FOR him,' one outraged Twitter user wrote.   

 

Winner

Robert Hurley, a high school senior from Florida

Robert is graduating at the top of his class, with schools like Yale and Stanford competing for him, but his real accomplishment — overcoming being raised in a trailer full of drugs and crime.
