Hmm, do you know it to work that well, or is that just the claim? thanks.

We are going to need a live thread of this on FR, you know. Maybe we could get you on fox if the governors race over and no car chases going on in LA :')

[Rodney King]

Burned? And is that how you ordered it at the restaurant? Everyone else here seems to think that rare is preferable.

[Tijeras_Slim]

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

I ordered it carbonized/burned, but it came out to me medium well at best. I can't stand rare meat - it probably works better for others though.

pot induced me to eat amounts I've never been able to eat again...and then sometimes, one french fry was all you wanted or could eat, so you took home the 6 hamburgers, 4 milk shakes, 3 orders of fries, and an apple pie from steak and shake that you ordered and paid for.

[TheSpottedOwl]

Yes. Four 16 oz ribeyes at a sitting, once a week, for 3 weeks before going. My cousin and I both went, but he filled up on the baked potato and big pitcher of iced tea and missed finishing the steak in time by two bites. Holy cow! The salad and shrimp cocktail would do me in. I can't comprehend being able to eat all that food. Hey Rodney, good luck!

So much for formatting...

Stop by North West Texas State Hospital and have your gullet connected directly to your anus. Have the meal pureed and delivered as you sit on the commode.

Bon Appetit, and good luck.

...and think what P.E.T.A. will say...the spitting, the cursing..the pain, of it all. :))

My advice would be to throw that big ol cow pie in the trash and get something good, like Pacific Salmon.....

I saw a TV show about a guy who ate huge amounts of food for contests, he would stretch his stomach out regularly by eating a HUGE bowl of grapes. the bowl looked like about 14" in diameter, and about 8" deep, and it was still heaping up.

They give you low calories, low bile production, short residency time, and they're nutritious. He did this for a few weeks leading up to the contest.

Good luck and please ping everyone on this thread after your birthday!

[Rodney King]

Thanks. Sounds like a good technique.

[Prodigal Son]

Speed. You want to get all the food in your stomach before it has time to say

'Whoa! I'm full!'

Maybe cut the steak up completely in pieces before you ever start eating. Small pieces. Then you start popping 'em in your mouth and swallowing as fast as you can go once you start... Not really a way to enjoy a meal but if you're serious about getting that much food in your gullet...

But peta loves the ranchers in Amarillo (snicker)

It's mind over matter (quite a lot of matter, in fact). You need to psyche yourself up. Get in the right frame of mind before getting down to the task. For example:

Cows. You hate cows. Dumb, cud-chewing, moon-jumping, flatulent beasts. You can do your share (well, more than your share) to rid the planet of these beasts, before their evil plot to take over succeeds.

PETA. You hate PETA. They would be offended at your feat, and that's a good thing. Heck, invite some of them to come watch; that may just be the inspiration you need to get the last pound or so down.

Hindus. You hate Hindus. Well, actually, you probably don't, but pretend you do for purposes of this event. Since they regard cows as sacred, they're guaranteed to be offended, and again, that's a good thing.

Are you by any chance a Catholic? If so, eat the 72-ounce steak on a Friday, because you can. It used to be a mortal sin, but now you'll no longer go to Hell for doing so. The change, alas, came too late to help Great-grandpaw, now roasting for eternity for having eaten a cheeseburger on a Friday in 1967. Oh, well. At least you can take full advantage of the rules change, and who knows, that might provide another bit of inspiration.

Have some non-French red wine with your meal. Just to annoy you-know-who.

If you can get away with it, don't eat the parsley sprig. Claim an allergy, and threaten to sue if they insist you eat it. Every little bit helps. And by the way, do you know the difference between parsley and... oops, we can't go there on a G-Rated thread. But just remember the punch line: "Nobody eats parsley."

Finally, with regard to being "plugged up" as an aftereffect, console yourself with the knowledge that "this too shall pass."

Be sure to save room for that double-chocolate cheesecake with ice cream and raspberry sauce!

Maybe cut the steak up completely in pieces before you ever start eating. Small pieces.

Assuming that speed is key, that's definetly a great idea.
