Waiters and waitresses from 12 Triangle restaurants ran, balanced and dished their way to $2,000 in the first annual "Wait Olympics" Sunday at the American Legion field on Legion Road. The field day was held to raise funds for the Ronald McDonald House of Chapel Hill, which will provide housing for parents whose children are hospitalized at North Carolina Memorial Hospital. The restaurants participating were Aurora, Hotel Europa, Papagayo, Spanky's, McCarthy's, Ham's, Bakatsias Le Nouveau, and Magda lena's of Chapel Hill; and Governors Inn, Bakatsias Cuisine, Alexander's, and Spinnaker's of Durham. Foot ball favorite Woody Durham emceed the events. . Karin Bunton of Bakatsias Le Nouveau came up with the idea. We decided to do this basically out of boredom," Bunton said. "During the summer we don't have a lot to do, and we thought we'd raise money for a charity. "1 heard about the Ronald McDonald House from someone at the hospital and felt that they'd be a good organization to donate to," she added. The house will be constructed in about a year, she said. Each restaurant paid an entry fee of $100. Additional funds were raised through a $2 admission, concessions and T-shirts. The contest consisted of 6 events: an obstacle course, a backwards run, a three-legged race, the "waiter's test," a wine-opening contest and a tug-of-war. Two contestants ran in each heat of the contest. The obstacle course, backwards run and three-legged race all had to be run with waiters and waitresses carrying trays of water-filled cups which they could not spill. If they did, they had to start over. The waiter's tests entailed mem orizing orders. Contestants took an order, ran to the waiter's station to pick up a place setting, ran back to set the table, poured water, and ran to the "kitchen" to place the order. Although most of the events were easy, the waiter's test proved a little confusing for Mark Zumbach of Governors Inn. In the first heat, he picked up both water glasses instead of just one. "I always pick up two at work," Zumbach explained sheepishly. Tony Einsmann, who works for Bakatsias, did not participate in the events but was there as a spectator and supporter for his team. "Well let the younger waiters and waitresses do it this year," he said. "This was a great idea it's good for the Ronald McDonald House and we also got a lot of media coverage," he added. "I just wish that we had a few more people out here. Maybe next year this will be bigger; this was only the first year." Magdalena's took first place in the obstacle course and Alexander's won the backwards run. Hotel Europa won the three-legged race. "The Wait Olympics has been a lot of fun," Zumbach said. "It's for a great cause and it gives these people a chance to show off their talent. "Just any slob can't wait tables it takes a special kind," he added jokingly. Hotel Europa won the waiter's test, Bakatsias took first in the wine opening contest and McCarthy's won the tug-of-war. Winning an event made the res taurant eligible to participate in the Grand Finale, a relay requiring six team members to run across the field with trays ol cups. If contestants spilled any water from the cups, they X DM Wait Olympics to raise money for charity in had to stop and refill.
