Wow, well, thanks. I hadn't considered that. I am generally not at all a glutton. I used to drink too much, but don't any more. I'll consider what you wrote.

It's not so much what you might do to that steak. My comment is more about "all u can eat" type competitions in general. Sorry to be a party pooper.

I never ate a 72 oz steak but I do have a funny steak story to tell involving eating lots of steak. When I lived in La-La Land, I lived in an apartment complex in the Northridge near CSUN. Anyway, there was an outdoor grill there with gas so I liked cooking outdoors rather than using my own stove. Almost every evening I cooked a couple of steaks and some potatoes and ate them all. Soon after I started this routine I noticed a family (husband, wife, 2 small kids) from India sitting at a table near me outside. All they did was stare at me while I ate. This happened for over a month. Finally, out of curiosity, I asked them why they sat near me whenever I ate my dinner outside. The man (in a thick Indian accent) explained that in his country people just aren't big eaters and they were amazed by how much food Americans could consume. So it turned out that I was sort of a sideshow act for them (and maybe the fact I was consuming their sacred cows). I was an entertainment act for them just as a snake charmer in India would be for me.
