Need strategy help on eating 72 oz. steak in Amarillo Texas

Well, I have heard that smoking pot produces the feeling of being hungry, but I wonder if it would actually help when it comes to consuming as much as possible.

Many years ago, my friends and I played 36 holes of golf (drinking alot of beer in that time), then got high, and then when to an all-you-can-eat seafood place in Myrtle Beach.

It was honestly the most horrendous display of eating you've ever seen. You could have rebuilt the Bering Straight land bridge with the discarded Alaskan King Crab leg shells. We dented the Atlantic seafood chain, permanently disrupting food chains that had taken millenia to evolve.

At the end of the night, a few of us were sticking our heads in the deserted lobster tanks, hoping to skim up some overlooked plankton.

I wonder if there's a place in Eugene, OR that serves a 72 ounce Gardenburger?

..there use to be a hamburger chain in Tx called "Whataburger"...

Great burger/Root Beer..ok, fries.. :))

[Rodney King]

LOL. Great post. Frame of mind is key in everything that you do.

unhinge your jaw?

Works for snakes....but then you'd have to spend a week sleeping it off!

My husband reading along here and says that a good steak should be enjoyed.

" we were about as humanly hungry as healthy adults could get."

Phimont is a great place. I agree about being starved when you get off the trail. I lost 15 lbs on one of my trips there.

I watched a big truck driving, motorcycle mama fail one night.

Didn't laught!

[Tredge]

The best advice I can give is don't fill up on bread.

Actually practice eating 4 or 5 pounds of steak. the 72 ouncer will seem like nothing after that...

[Tijeras_Slim]

Chain still exists, atleast in NM.

I've been thinking about this since I first saw the post - you and I are built comparably, though I'm a bit taller and a bit heavier (6'3" and 190lbs). What I think I'd do is make sure that I exercised and ate a ton in the weeks approaching the event, to keep my metabolism as high as possible and keep my stomach used to digesting a lot of food quickly. Then I'd probably eat breakfast the day of the event, and nothing else until the dinner, like someone else here suggested. One last thing I'd do is make sure I cut it all up before I started eating anything, though that's not very interesting for the spectators, and they might accuse you of copping out a bit. But I figure it'd let me eat it all in less time from my first bite. As it is, I might think about trying this if I'm ever in Amarillo, Texas, but I'd have to prepare pretty extensively.

I don't exercise much, but I have at various times in my life so am not adverse to it. Would it help that much? I suppose I could jog a few miles every morning and evening leading up to it.

[Welsh Rabbit]

LOL! Yeah I've been there too. I'd go to some resturaunt with the munchies and order an obscene amount of food. Then, if the service was slow, I'd get over the munchies and be stuck with two appetizers, the largest meal on the menu with extra side dishes, and a desert. Good times...

[JaimeD2]

I can't say with any confidence that exercise would help much, but I can say from personal experience that I always eat more when I'm more active, and less when I'm less active, and my weight doesn't change either way. So I imagine it'd help me build up an appetite, and it might help digest the food more quickly if my body were used to going through a lot every day.

Google and read everything you can about...Takeru Kobayashi.

[The Great RJ]

I ate a 20 oz steak once--it's the digestion afterward that was the problem. I'd be prepared with magazines, Tucks wipes, a plunger and some industrial strength air freshener in your bathroom.

A chaser of Angustora Bitters and a splash of charged water might help too.

[Cloud William]

Go out and rent "The Great Outdoors." John Candy will show you how to do it.

LOL!... the "Old 96'er".

"Processing nicely!"

Assuming that speed is key,

Personally, I think it is. I can wolf down a lot of food if I tear into it like we used to in basic training when the drills would only give you a few seconds to eat a whole meal. But I've never chewed my food really good my whole life. I can swallow big chunks of meat after I've only chewed it three or four times.

Do you have to eat the whole meal or just the steak? The carbs (from the potato) are tricky. Carbs will give you a full feeling very quickly (as compared to protein) because carbs are sugar. It takes the body longer to get into that protein. If you have to eat the potato too, I'd save that and the roll for next to last (salad last because it is easy to eat even if you're full- there's nothing too it really but roughage).
