Nah. It’s impossible to easy a 30 pound burrito. So they get free press and sell the challenge to a few idiots.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Yeah, and don’t skimp on the pâté.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Why not just buy the freakin’ steak?
Or in the case of Michael Moore, the entire cow.

LOL

Maître d’: “Ah, good afternoon, sir; and how are we today?”
Mr Creosote: “Better.”
Maître d’: “Better?”
Mr Creosote: “Better get a bucket, I’m gonna throw up.”

Marge: It's time for the church picnic.
Homer: What? They had a picnic last week.
Marge: No, they didn't. You just brought a bucket of chicken to church.
Homer: If God didn't want us to eat in church, he would have made gluttony a sin.

Wouldn’t the beans expand and....Kaboom?

[raybbr]

Act out the sin of gluttony for all to see. Pathetic!

[Cowgirl of Justice]

It looks like a baby seal.

[knarf]

Hmmm ... looks like they did a pretty good job of cleaning the blood off from the clubbing, too

MM probably owns a chain of these restaurants already.

they're called his kitchen.

Yep. Not possible at all to eat a 30 pound burrito in under an hour. Probably not even a day. Most food challenges that you see on TV are typically about five pounds of pizza,ice cream, meat,etc... No way 30 could work.

I remember reading some years back of a woman who did rupture her stomach as a result of eating some 18 pounds of food. I don’t have the book any more, so can’t provide a reference.

I agree that most people would not be able to do such a thing.

Let me get this straight. You eat the burrito and then they give you a free stake? I didn't know Mexican Restaurants had stakes. They could give away a blender. You know Mexican Restaurants have blenders for making Margaritas.

I think several others have it right. No human being can eat 30 pounds of food in one hour. I think that the contestants are paying $150 for a giant burrito and lots of left-overs if they can stand the sight of a burrito after this.

[ShadowAce]

I didn't know Mexican Restaurants had stakes.

You're thinking of steaks. Stakes are what are used to keep the tent from flying away.

[NorthMountain]

I hope that stuff on the near side is black beans ...

[NormsRevenge]

Looks like a badly made meatloaf or a baby blamonge

[Steve Van Doorn]

Patrick Bertoletti eat 21 pounds of Grits in 10 minutes.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

I got heartburn just looking at the picture.

In my Emily Litella voice, ‘nevermind.” ;^)
