The grill we ate at today has a 2 pound burger, that if you eat it in 10 minutes its free. (its 15.95 if you dont :eek: ) He had been in ther before and said that he could do it. We said that he could eat it, but not in ten minutes. Well, we were wrong! You must eat all the fries as well. They said that it was a "regular" order of fries, which was total BS. There was at least 3 times as many fries that came with my sandwich. He got the burger down in a little less than 5 minutes, and finished with the fries with 23 seconds to spare! He got up from the table and went outside. He gagged a little and spit up a bite or two. Then he came in and sat down like it was no big deal. Of course being guys, we were laughing our arses off when he was outside trying to yak. It was a site to see, let me tell ya. He was only the second person to ever do it also. And to think, some people would rather go to the opera or a broadway show, than to go fishing, followed by watching your buddy chomp down on a 2 pound burger and fries. Its great to be a guy is all I can say! :D

Wow, he's the man. :) <br /><br /><br />It made me think of the scene in Great Outdoors when John Candy had to eat the huge steak....fat and all. That was one funny movie.

There's a place out in the midwest somewhere that makes the same offer on a big ol steak, t-bone I am thinking it was and all the sides.<br />They gave you 15 minutes to down it all and if you did, your name went on the wall.<br />Has that place got names on the wall? ;)

No names on the wall, but I wish they did.

Big Texan 72 oz Steak challange!<br /><br />We've eaten at this restaurant. They put you up on the stage. When the food is server a count down timer is starte. If you do it you don't pay for the meal.<br /><br />When we went there were two folks up on stage choking it down.<br /><br />They have "barf buckets" next to them. If you hurl you pay.

Re: My buddy ate a two pound burger!

I don’t know about any place in the mid west but there is this place in Amarillo Texas, I believe it is called the Big Texan. A few of us drivers were on a run between Oklahoma City and Albuquerque New Mexico, we were looking for a place to eat, and one of them saw this sign that said free steak dinner if you can eat the big steak.<br /> <br /> WELL a couple of us were rather hungry, so in we went and as soon as you get into the door there is a Hugh stuffed grizzly bear, standing there looking at youmust have been ten feet tall. Looked around a bit before we were seated, and the smallest driver with us decided that he would have a go at that free steak dinner.<br /><br /> I wasn’t quite that hungry so decided on a t-bone it was big enough, but here came this other steak out and it was hanging off the plate on three sides, not only was the steak big but I don’t believe that I have ever seen a baked potato that big. It must have been half gourd to get that big, and the salad, way to large. Plus two big slices of Texas toast. This skinny axx 165 pound driver would have to pay, I think it was about thirty or forty dollars for this meal if he didn’t eat all of it plus the drink. <br /><br /> Well this wouldn’t be so bad but any body taking this challenge, had to eat it on this platform that stood about a foot and a half up off of the floor. There we were at lunch hour, everybody in the damn place watching us plus a grizzly that looks like he’s grinning at you. Well to make a long story short this skinny axx driver ate the whole damn thing down and stuck a tooth pick in his mouth and ask what’s for desert.

It'll be the day when I let a five lb steak ruin my dinner. Just give me the 1 lb ribeye and the rest of the fixins and I'll be feeling like the big dawg when I leave. :D

As an aside, to the above statement about the meal stop at the big Texan in Amarillo Texas, we used to make that trip, quite a few times and not a few of us would stop in Amarillo at the Hooters. That is still off interstate 40 but about another two three miles on the left, but this hungry skinny axx driver would not stand still for chicken wings that day. :)

Re: My buddy ate a two pound burger!

Man I just can't remember now, it has been too long ago when I was on the road, but I do know the place would take a picture of you if you made it and put it upon the wall with your name.<br /><br />I got to thinking, and I kinda remember it being a big ol hamburger, now we are talking big and huge order of fries, but like I said, it's been too long now, came off the road in '94 after 22 years and just can't think or remember.
