And my first wife thought I was nuts for trying the 64 ounce steak dinner challenge at Big Texan in Amarillo. (It's free if you finish it. I did but I was in, er, some distress for several days afterward.)

I’m wondering if the guy had a shellfish allergy? Many of the same substances in shellfish shells are also in insect exoskeletons (chitin, etc.)

Edwin Lewis, an entomologist at the University of California at Davis, described the surprisingly enjoyable experience of eating cooked waterbugs in Thailand, which are not too far removed from cockroaches.

They look a lot like cockroaches, but that famous Thai smile will quickly morph into something very unpleasant if you suggest they eat a cockroach.

Discoid roaches, Siegel said, are “eaten by people all over the world.”

AFAIK, cockroaches are not eaten by sane people anywhere.

If you can eat this:

... then why should critters like hygienically-raised roaches gross you out?

I've eaten at the Big Texan twice over the years. mighty good eating, and I am a big woman with a big appetite. But I don't know if I could finish a 64-ounce steak, with all the trimmings, in under an hour to qualify for a free meal.

Oh wow! I live right around the corner! We joked that night about a snake strangling someone when we saw the ambulance and police out there, but damn... Now I feel bad.

I gotta tell the kids when they wake up.

That’s a 72oz steak. I eat there several times a year.

It’s not really “winning” if you die.

Rest in peace.

I've never thought that eating contests are all that safe, regardless of the food.
