whomper Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) I am on vacation with the family and went to a place that had this colossal burger that supposedly is very difficult to finish. I inialated it and finished my fries. Got me thinking. Do you guys have any of these types of places by you that have a big meal like in the great outdoors when John Candy finished the old 96er ? I always found that stuff pretty cool. A buddy of mine told me about a steak place in Memphis I believe. I think I could definitely do a giant steak. Have any of you ever tried one of these types of places ? Edited August 21, 2012 by whomper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billay Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 There's nothing left on that plate but gristle and fat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westvirginia Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I used to do stuff like this all the time, but since dropping 90 lbs in the last 8 months by simply watching portion sizes, I just don't do it any more. Sorry whomp... I ate a 5 lb "Cantina Burger" one time, complete with fries in college. Got free pitchers for the table that night. The place was a dive, and you were braving more than 5lbs of dead cow flesh eating that sucker... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEC=UGA Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 There is (or used to be) a place in Key West that sold a 72 OZ T-Bone. I bought one once, ate on it for three days. The funny part is that I left the keys the morning after buying it and transported it, without chilling it, on the 11 hour drive back home. Ate on it that night and then finished it the next day... Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Agent Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Amarillo has the Big Texan steakhouse. You eat their 72 oz steak and get it free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Isn't that what the show Man vs. Food is all about? The guy goes to places and eats things like 7 pound burrito, 6 pound cheesesteak sandwich etc. I don't know of any places around like that. And while I do like to eat, I try not to consume such massive amounts in one sitting. I also know of some places that do this with ice cream, like on in Jackson MI that had a 20 some scoop sundae.

Ditkaless Wonders Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) Was looking for a spot in the Chippewa Flowage back when in law school many years ago. I was supposed to meet a buddy for some fishing. My brother and I were hungry and off the beaten trail for us. nI a land of giant muskies and Paul Bunyans for roadside signs we saw a sign for a free steak meal if you could down the 72 ounce beast. We were both young, hungry, and are rather large boys. We both finished handily. Edited August 21, 2012 by Ditkaless Wonders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millerx Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Actually their is a pizza place about 5-10 miles from my house that was on Man vs. Food. They have a pizza challenge that takes two people eating this monster-sized pizza (11 lbs. worth). They even show just it in the opening of every show... they hold up just a slice of it next to a baby to get a comparison of the size. FYI, he wasn't able to complete the contest and the food won. I have seen people order this "to go" for a party and the thing is soooo big they get to their car and can't figure out how to fit the box in their car. You have to have a truck bed to bring this thing home, it won't fit in most car doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbpfan1231 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 There was this place in New York that sold 20 oz sodas but not sure if it is still around???? Good times!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheikYerbuti Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 There's an Indian restaurant in town called Mint. A page of their menu is called "The Inferno" and you have to sign a waiver before eating anything off of it. If you eat the whole Inferno menu you get your picture on the wall. Our waiter said about 300 people have tried. There are 7 pictures on the wall. A friend of mine tried one item off the Inferno menu, ate about 2 bites and thought he was going to die. The rest of the menu there, btw, is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furd Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) Its not part of a contest, but every time I go to Las Vegas, I get a Maserati Omelet (that features mozzarella cheese and sausage marinara sauce) at the Peppermill, which, I was recently informed, is made with 10 eggs. I didn't have too much of a problem eating it until I learned that it had 10 eggs. ETA: It comes with a substantial amount of hash browns, adding to the challenge.

Have any of you ever tried one of these types of places ? As a Jersey boy, you may be familiar with Pete & Elda's/Carmen's in Neptune. If you've never been there, they have great thin crust pizza, the place is always packed, weekends, weeknights, summer, winter, makes no difference. Anyway, they have a promotion in which you win a free T-shirt if you can eat one of their XXL pizzas by yourself. Evidently this dude ate 3+ of them by himself, thereby setting their record! http://peteandeldas.com/news.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly confident I could eat a whole pizza if I was really hungry. 3 pies, OTOH. . . .that's insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it's ever been done. probably 10 pounds of it if bread/crust. edit to add: youtube link Edited September 4, 2012 by Azazello1313 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
