I just ate an appetizer, bread basket, entree, spaghetti, and a strawberry shortcake in one sitting. But then again that and a roast beef sandwich earlier in the day is all I ate. The waiter subliminally asked me to back him on the Razz WSOP tournament. Then I popped a royal.

How much do you want to put against me eating the whole thing in thirty minutes?



I don't think that is much of a challenge compared to 100 nuggets. I'm pretty sure I could down the family deal in that time myself.

We are 7 days away from the challenge:

We need an update from DJ on his training methods and how confident he still is about completing the challenge.

Side note: anybody else here ever try to eat a Woody Allen at Carnegie Deli (Mirage)? I tried it a few years ago (after going pretty much all day without eating), and I got about 3/4 of the way through. I might have been able to do the entire thing if I would have taken it to go and been standing up for the last part of it, but I didn't want to keep standing and sitting in the deli itself.

IIRC, it's "only" about 2 1/2 pounds of meat (pastrami and corned beef) - I don't pretend to play with the big boys around here, either at the gaming tables or the dining tables. Case in point: this Friday, like every July 4th, I'll try to eat as many hot dogs (and buns - and the hot dogs have to stay in the buns, rather than eating them separately) as I can. Maybe I can get to six.

When I was a teen I won a water drinking contest.




Maybe you could try that?

I've only done one eating challenge. It was after a varsity baseball game on the bus ride home. I had a 12" assorted sub on white, a 1lb bag of vanilla sandwich cookies, an entire 2' x 1" stick of pepperoni, and an orange Faygo. Downed it all in about 25 minutes.

I remember feeling vaguely ill after completing it. But by the time we arrived and unloaded some 10 minutes later, I was good to go and went to play basketball at the youth center. 17 is such a great age. The perfect mix of stupidity and invincibility.

I'm fairly certain his training had consisted of watching TV, lot's of rest (sleeping till 2 pm), driving and playing machines. I did see him consume 2.5 pound lobster and a bunch of sides after he just ate a big hotdog an hr beforehand.

yes, a water-drinking challenge is actually dangerous. Counter-intuitive perhaps.

Final result: 5, under the stated "dogs remain in the buns" condition. (I followed it up with another dog, but out of the bun, and then ate half of the bun.)

Apparently DJ is at home resting up for the event. He has been playing a lot of poker. A good friend and business partner who is of ours just put down a bet saying he is confident he can do it and will be there.

Maybe they don't sell more than one 40 pack to the same person? I love how the total is under $30
