Title: free steak!
Post by: maximusotter on January 12, 2007, 15:52:48 PM
QuoteNo matter how you cut it, 72 ounces is 4 1/2 pounds. Thats a lot of meat. In an upscale steakhouse chain, that 4 1/2 pounds would cost you around $200.

Big Texan.At The Big Texan, in Amarillo, TX, its free. If you can eat it in an hour. While everyone else in the restaurant watches.

I dare say I know of a a couple of people that could do that :)

I wouldnt mind a shot at it, as long as it was cooked exactly how I like my steak :) Very bloody with some Peppercorn Sauce :)

if i remember rightly it is damn near impossible unless you have actually trained your stomach larger slowly.

saw a program with something like this a while ago, steak digests at such a slow rate that it wont be removed quick enough from the stomach to make enough space to fit the whole steak in, unless you have a stomach size far in excess of the norm.

people will be able to do it, not many though

while the quickest anyone finished was in 9 1/2 minutes.

That would take some training  :-)

Its not the eating it that worries me (big gut here); its the pain on passing a cow that brings a tear to my eyes :o

Didnt John Candy attempt that same size steak in The Great Outdoors? :mrgreen:

I think the one in the Great Outdoors is a 96oz, but its probably based on this one

"if anyone in your party orders the old 96er and finishes, the whole party eats for free"

Ok fair enough - but NOT if the reason they get food poisoning is because you add fertiliser, Mr Sheen or Toilet Duck to the mince meat ok?
