Gluttons for glory, gather round: There's a challenge for you.
Many folks know about the bile-inducing exploits of Adam Richman on the Travel Channel's "Man vs. Food." You've probably thought about taking down a child-sized burrito or burger yourself. But where's the fun in retreading old ground?
We have you covered, smothered and over-sized. Last year, we brought you 40 of the most intimidating restaurant challenges for free food in the United States. Now it's time to up the stakes: We've loosened our belts another notch and more than doubled last year's list. Of the 43 new challenges, most have never been subject to a TV camera and wait silently to be bested or, in some cases, attempted.
The new list is more frightening than ever, with fresh inductees like a 10-pound cheese steak, 4-pound sushi roll and bona fide Guinness World Record holder. For those who believe restaurants in the U.S. are the only offenders of taste and decency, more than a few international eateries are now represented.
It's only a matter of time before Vegas bookies start taking bets on such gastrointestinal gambling. Read on for 83 of the most gratuitous food challenges anywhere in the world, complete with a side order of nausea, bloating and bragging rights.

Food Challenge: Turns out The Loch Ness Monster isn't a mythical creature in the Scottish Highlands, but rather a mass of meat, veg and calories. The challenge contains over 8 pounds of steak, meatballs, sausage, mushrooms, onions, peppers and provolone, all slathered in marinara and stuffed in a full loaf of Italian bread. Tame Nessie in an hour and get the meal, a T-shirt and Wall of Fame pic, all on the house. Lose, and the shame will cost $45.99. Call at least an hour beforehand so the cook can prepare the beast.
RHODE ISLAND
70. Spike's Junkyard Dogs
Location: Nine Locations in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut
Food Challenge: This chain of old-school frankfurter stands has a different challenge at each store, all based on the time-honored tradition of eating a ridiculous amount of hot dogs. You're given 90 minutes to eat more $2.99 Sinatra Dogs (a plain hot dog on a large, Kaiser roll-style bun) than the current record holder. If you succeed, your entire order is free, along with a T-shirt and bragging rights over the defeated champ. Ask at your location for the number to beat.
SOUTH DAKOTA
71. Marlin's Roadhouse Grill
Location: Sioux Falls, South Dakota
Food Challenge: The Marlin's Challenge burger at this local haunt is truly harrowing, featuring a 3-pound burger with lettuce, cheese and pickles between an enormous bun, all generously buffeted with a pound of fries. Finish the bad boy in an hour or less to earn your money back. Ask your server for the current price.
TENNESSEE
72. Dugger's Food and Fun
Location: Murfreesboro, Tennessee
Food Challenge: You can't deny a challenge with a liability waiver. The Dugger's Sheer Insanity Wing Sauce challenge is straightforward: Finish six wings slathered with the aforementioned sauce in three minutes and get the meal, a T-shirt and pitcher of beer or soda for free. The fine folks at Dugger's don't list the source of heat in their sauce. Better hope that waiver covers napalm burns.
73. Piranha's Bar and Grill
Location: Nashville, Tennessee
Food Challenge: The Titan Cheese Steak at Piranha's is worthy of a demi-god even before it's blown to overzealous proportions. The 10-Pound Cheese Steak Challenge takes shaved beef, cheese, coleslaw, fries, onions and peppers and throws them on a bun the size of a child. Winners get their money back and a $100 cash prize, while losers pay $50 for the meal. To date, only one person has completed the challenge: A woman weighing under 100 pounds, who finished the sandwich on New Years' Eve. Take that, boys.
74. Kooky Canuck
Location: Memphis, Tennessee
Food Challenge: We dare you to try and eat the entire Kookamonga Burger. This monstrous burger includes 4 pounds of ground chuck, a 2-pound bun, 1 1/2 pounds of lettuce/tomato/pickle/onion/cheese, all totaling 7 1/2 pounds of food with optional fries. You'll need 26 hours of aerobics to burn off this whopping 12,387 calorie burger. Finish in 60 minutes and it's free. Kooky Canuck also will post your picture on their Hall of Fame. Fail and you'll pay for the burger plus see your scowl on the Hall of Shame.
TEXAS
75. Cowtown Diner
Location: Fort Worth, Texas
Food Challenge: Meat isn't enough for the folks who invented the Full o' Bull Platter, a colossal chicken-fried steak challenge straight from the heart of Texas. Call a day in advance and for $70, the cook will take a 64-ounce steak, toss it in batter, throw it in the frier, ladle on country gravy and surround it with 6 pounds of mashed potatoes and 10 pieces of Texas toast. A tiny glimmer of hope: You have the entire business day (7 a.m. to 2 a.m.) to finish the challenge. Winners get a full refund and losers feed a family of five for a week.
76. The Big Texan Steak Ranch
Location: Amarillo, Texas
Food Challenge: Try to take on the Texas King. A 72-ounce steak (4 pounds) with buttered roll, shrimp cocktail, salad, beans and potato. If you succeed, you will be one of 7,000 who have completed the challenge in the past 50 years. The meal is free if you’re able to finish, but costs $72 dollars if you leave anything on your plate.
77. Andy's Kitchen
Location: Lake Jackson, Texas
Food Challenge: The folks at Andy's Kitchen turn chicken-fried steak into a weapon of arterial destruction with The Andy's Challenge. Finish a 2-pound chicken-fried steak, 10 ounces of mashed potatoes and 4 ounces of green beans to earn a full refund. Speak with your server before ordering as the price, time limit and rules change occasionally.
78. Burger Central
Location: Leander, Texas
Food Challenge: Heat hounds weary of wings will go nuclear for the Ghost Pepper Burger Challenge. It pits you against two 4-ounce beef patties topped with lettuce, tomato, pickles and onions, all slathered in ghost pepper sauce. The pepper is so unreasonably hot, the cooks wear latex gloves during preparation. Finish the burger along with 8 ounces of fries in 10 minutes and the meal is free. A snapshot of your understandably regretful face also goes on the Wall of Flame.
INTERNATIONAL
79. Cavendish Cafe
Location: Cavendish, Victoria, Australia
Food Challenge: This modest eatery crafts the most un-modest grub south of the Equator with Australia's Biggest Hamburger Challenge. You and a friend have one hour to finish three 3-pound patties, 20 slices of bacon, 8 eggs, cheese, onions, tomatoes, pickles and lettuce between a 3-pound bun. The whole meal weighs in at 8 kilograms (nearly 18 pounds). Succeed and the burger is free. This beast overshadows the 4 KG Burger, a similar though less impressive challenge made for one person. Call ahead for pricing and to schedule a time.
80. Real Sports Bar and Grill
Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Food Challenge: Like football players, The Hail Mary challenge is large, brutal and possibly on steroids. Down a 67-ounce rib-eye steak along with a pound each of fries and coleslaw for a refund of your $74.99 CAD bill. Ottawa natives, be wary when dining on enemy turf: Senators fans who don't finish may be charged $149.99.
81. Rupali
Location: Newcastle upon Tyne, England
Food Challenge: Eternity in the real Hades seems like a weekend in Aspen when compared to the Curry Hell Challenge. This British curry house whips up chicken curry spiked with a secret combination of chillies and potential death, then serves it on a bed of rice. The recipe was created in 1987, and since then only 72 people have mastered what celeb chef Gordon Ramsey dubbed "brutal." Rupali claims Curry Hell holds a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records as the hottest curry in the world. Finish the entire dish for your money back, a signed certificate and your picture immortalized in the restaurant and online. Ask your server for pricing.
82. Mick and Angelo's Eatery and Bar
Location: Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada
Food Challenge: Just like your Italian mother used to make when cooking for you, your siblings and the entire extended family. The Italian Challenge packs soup, lasagna, spaghetti, meatballs, manicotti, cannelloni, chicken parmigiana, a garlic loaf and an apple blossom on one platter, then wills you to down it all in 90 minutes by yourself. Succeed, you earn a free meal, T-shirt and spot on the Wall of Fame. Fail, you cough up $49.95 CAD and are relegated to the Wall of Shame.
83. Two Fat Indians
Location: Christchurch, New Zealand
Food Challenge: The Suicide Curry challenge at this eatery in downtown Christchurch is yet another meal promising death. Who could say no? Finish an entire fiercely hot bowl with rice in any time to win a T-shirt and place on the Wall of Fame. Go for painful glory and beat the previous record to receive one free entree during your next 10 visits. Beware: It's a tall order at 2 minutes and 37 seconds.
HONOURABLE MENTION
These challenges don't hold the allure of a free meal, but bragging rights are on the line. Thin-tongued folks beware: All but two are likely to burn a hole through your skull.
84. Sunni Sky's Homemade Ice Cream
Location: Angier, North Carolina
Food Challenge: Until the aptly-named Cold Sweat premiered, eating ice cream was never equated with sticking your tongue in hot coals. This abomination of a dessert is made with hot sauce, peppers and pepper extract. Although no award is given for trying or finishing Cold Sweat, the liability waiver (yes, for ice cream) is worth a mention: Expectant mothers, children under 18 and people over 30 are strongly advised not to indulge.
85. Spices
Location: Washington, D.C.
Food Challenge: Anything with the word "suicide" is guaranteed to entice food challenge devotees, and the Suicide Curry makes good on its name. Survive your choice of chicken, beef or pork in a coconut curry sauce with onions, chili and extra spices. Winners leave with bragging rights and damaged taste buds. It's one of only two meals on the list to offer no refund or enticing reward, but at $11 for a curry dinner, it's a steal.
86. Brick Lane Curry House
Location: New York City, New York
Food Challenge: Diners who dare and defeat the P'hall Curry Challenge are dubbed "Curry Monsters" for good reason. P'hall is a freakishly spicy curry mix, prepared by a gas mask-wearing chef and served with your choice of meat, tofu or veggies. After a sampling, Adam Richman of "Man vs. Food" claimed it was "more pain and sweat than flavor." There's no time limit; just down the whole dish and a bottle of beer is on the house. Ask for pricing beforehand.
87. Fergburger
Location: Queenstown, New Zealand
Food Challenge: Fergburger in southern New Zealand fits the bill for grossly over-sized grub with a menu of giant burgers. The Big Al is king, a double-decker featuring a pound of beef, loads of round bacon, cheese, two fried eggs, sliced beet, lettuce, tomato, red onion, relish and aioli tucked into a bulging bun. The burger isn't technically a challenge -- there's no opportunity for a refund on the $17 NZD asking price -- but it's easily one of the largest eats in New Zealand.
88. Kenny and Ziggy's Delicatessen
Location: Houston, Texas
Food Challenge: This East Coast transplant features a sandwich challenge built to quell any kvetcher: The Zellagabetsky. It's an eight-decker on rye, stacked with corned beef, pastrami, turkey, roast beef, salami, Swiss and tongue cheese, Russian dressing and red sweet peppers. Finish by yourself in the deli (no time limit) and be rewarded with a free piece of cheesecake. Oy, gevalt.

Though not an official challenge, I think you should add "Wendy's Value Menu Challenge" to your list. You order everything on Wendy's value menu (when I did it, there was 13 items), and chow them all down without leaving the table. Like I said, not an official challenge, but it's certainly not easy. Search YouTube for "Wendy's Value Menu Challenge" to get an idea of the undertaking. I guarantee the challenge is equally as difficult as a few of the ones you have mentioned here.

Spanky's Dog House in Livermore, Calif., has the ATOMIC CHILI DOG! It's super hard to beat. Only 4 people have won the challenge out of 100!

I thought this might be an interesting challenge for your readers. Hickory Hollow offers the Ranchers Chicken Fried Steak Meal. Mel's Country Cafe dares you to devour "The Mega Mel Burger." Not to be outdone, Russo's New York Pizzeria (5727 Westheimer Road, Houston; 251-0220) has a 28-inch pizza that's the size of a small coffee table. The pizza can easily feed 8-10 people and has never been eaten by one person in one sitting. A basic cheese version is $34.95. Each additional topping is $5. Eat it by yourself with two toppings in less than an hour and it's yours for free. In addition, be the first to devour the XL pizza and founder Anthony Russo will give you $200 cash!

As a person from the United Kingdom where this doesn't happen all that much, i'ts fascinating watching "Man vs Food." I feel a bit strange seeing everyone get totally behind people who go for it. It's just entertainment, whether it's on TV or in real life. Seriously...a 15 pound burger? My friends and I have actually been looking for similar events in the UK.

Ciro's Pizzeria & Beer House has a new food challenge: Warning: Brace yourself for what you are about to encounter. This is not for the weak hearted, the weak minded, or the weak stomached. Please consult your doctor before taking on the challenge. In fact, you may want to consider asking your doctor to be there during the challenge, because we still aren't quite sure how to properly use the paddles if the situation called for it. Meet the Defibrillator Challenge! Why is it called "The Defibrillator?" Because this baby has the ability to stop hearts, and not in a sexy-blonde-walking-towards-you kind of way. It starts with two Amoroso rolls covered in Cheese Whiz. Next, each roll gets 5 ounces of cured Italian meat, including capicolla, prosciutto, genoa salami, and three fried eggs. Then they toss on a pound of grilled American Kobe beef mixed with American cheese, provolone, mozzarella, grilled onions, and sauteed mushrooms. The result is a 5.5-pound artery-clogging, stomach-pumping, unbelievably tasty sandwich. Challenge Rules: The challenger has one hour to eat the entire sandwich. No bathroom breaks or puking allowed. If it comes UP, you are out. The challenger is allowed to drink whatever they want and as much as they want. The challenger is allowed to stand, sit, lie down, stand on his/her head, etc. The challenger must eat everything on the plate: no substitutions or modifications allowed. The reward for completing this incredibly honorable challenge: A one-of-a-kind awesome Defibrillator T-shirt; your picture on our wall; and a special place in our Defibrillator Facebook group. Also, your sandwich is free! It is the least we could do for such an outstanding competitor.

To David: You know why 90% of Americans do not hold a passport. If In fact that is accurate. The reason is. Wait for it, the entire world looks to come here and what do they bring with them. Recipes. Food is one of the things that makes us the number one exporter of freedom. Food of course is overindulged but why do you feel the need to express yourself in such a negative light. As smart as you seem you should probably just worry about your own personal problems. And skip the lesson giving. Overweight people seldom eat and win eating contests in a matter of fact it is usually a very skinny man who has conditioned himself to do so. For someone who seems intelligent you sure missed the mark, we are a country of real hopes and dreams. Overindulgence of food whether we gave it away to a "winner" or it is a product marketing ploy. Is what america is about. Yes so we may do stupid things and we may be or even if We are in fact a fat nation. A really interesting fact and it is a funny funny one. is that Mexico which is a third world country is right there beside us ...... This is a country where freedom and overindulgence is acceptable. The difference is entitlement everyone knows of this or you would not feel entitled to open your mouth and hurt some people with you superior knowledge. of worldly thoughts on our blessed, stressed, and over stretched country try kindness. I hear you can even kill with it

The very principle behind this activity is first, quite embarrassing and secondly, I feel shamed that my fellow Americans not only support and celebrate this but will defend their "right" to engage in an activity that is so unbelievably unhealthy (physically, socially and otherwise)and really could not be more irresponsible. So many people bashing other people from foreign countries when the fact of the matter is that 89% of Americans don't even hold a US passport; so how the f*&^ do you know so much about what goes on in "their" countries?...oh, tv! The All American past time. Let me ask you young, intellectuals a question: do you know how liver pate is made? Answer: it's pureed animal liver that has been increased to 5 times it's natural size by, you guessed it...force feeding! The interesting thing here is that most Americans (since almost 90% never make it out of the country...ever!) don't know the running joke that is told around the world: "why do Americans do __?" "Because they can." Defending your "right" to celebrate the act of eating an 8 lb cheeseburger in 20 minutes flat with your fat dripping face in front of the camera says one thing and one thing only: "I don't care." When Americans (or anyone for that matter) stop chewing long enough to remember that rights are followed by responsibilities, then perhaps we'll begin to see integrity and decency woven back into our cultural fiber.

wow. so many negative people. some of you idiots act like ever person in America eats the above mentioned challenges every day for every meal. Please, you would have to be daft, or worse to really believe that, they are challenges, feats of strength. as for the starving people all over the world. I am truly sorry for their plight. but does that mean we should stop doing the challenges because some people don't have enough to eat in their country. but anyways in west virginia the hill billy hotdog joint has a challenge called the Home wrecker. a hotdog with all the fixins. weighs about 5 lbs, finished in under 5 mintues myself., HEHEHEHEH.

Where are the food challenges (and free grub) for vegans? I'd love to snarf down one of those gonzo sized pizzas if it were guaranteed dairy-free (in the crust and/or sauce). Heck, I'll even do multi-topping instead of the wimpy single topping descriptions from most of these joints. Make mine mushroom/green-pepper/black-olive with extra sauce and watch it disappear in under 0:59.9, guaranteed. Or a hummus/baba/dolmeh/tabouleh party platter -- it won't stand a chance around my appetite, especially if it's free for the conquering glutton. Did some major damage in a coney dog contest 25 years ago when I was still carnivorous; my appetite has not wained though my weight has increased in the 18 years as vegetarian (15 as vegan). Bring it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For all of you people saying that these people are the whole reason why our country is obese: Did you ever stop to look at the fat that if you were actually in 'the normal range' for your height, you would look like a freaking twig and be so unhealthy that you couldn't stand? Plus, on top of that, food challenges are "challenges" for a reason. It's not a portion that you would eat every meal, or even every day! Once in a while, it's nice to step out of the norm and do things that you normally wouldn't, that's why they're for fun! Nobody eats one of these challenges a week! For those who say we're so wasteful, going back to a previous comment... Who in the world ever said we, as Americans, need to provide food for the rest of the world? We don't! If you can't feed yourselves, then you're too lazy and too stupid to get a job and work for it! We can indulge and do these things because we bust our asses to do so! If you don't like it, well, too freaking bad for you! Nobody wants your opinion, so STFU!

You left out a lovely place called Valentini Pizza in Victorville, Ca. They have a 28-inch pizza that you and a friend get an hour to finish (if you're eating it for the challenge). They have great food at excellent prices so if you're in the High Desert in California, you should go check it out.

Absolute disgusting waste of food. There are people starving all over the world on a daily basis and sick people like these will waste food like this. Sickening, shameful, and a whole host of other not nice words... And the health consequences! People that do this should have to pay 3-4 times as much for health insurance and medical services because they are willingly doing this to themselves. The businesses that offer these things should be shut down or fined as public health hazards.

There was a quote from the movie "Demolition Man" - old Sylvester Stallone flick - that answers all of you "omg, you gluttonous Americans!" who want to tell us how to live. If you haven't seen the movie, rent it. It'll be educational. Edgar Friendly: You see, according to Cocteau's plan, I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think; I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I'm the kind of guy who likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?" I WANT high cholesterol. I wanna eat bacon and butter and BUCKETS of cheese, okay? I want to smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green Jell-o all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiener". Word.

It really is funny to read all those true comments from people that have nothing better to do then hate on othere people for what? being the dictionary meaning of the word american!

You know for us Americans we sure do otheres then any othere country in the World so for being a bunch of fat ass's we sure know how to put or gun up your ass to get things done, at least we are not scared to step up and do what needs to be done but hay its ok, its ok for being the youngest country we are the widest and like my grandfather told me there are to kinda people in the world there are AMERICANS and then there those who fear AMERICANS, but dont hate because your not one of us but then again a hater needs a job too!

Canadians love giant cheeze-burgers too! ...and x-tra hot wings and all you can eat ribs and giant bowls of slop, whatever, its all good. Unfortunatly I cant find any listing for canadian eatery challenges in Canada but I know they exist. If anyone has any info on these places send them to me at flotilladevice@hotmail.com cuz Im wanna make my own list to share, once Ive tried them all myself of course. BC and Alberta restaurants is preferred. Im limited on how far I travel eh. I seen this challenge on 'Fish out of water', an aptn program. You have eat a softball size ball of pemican (a aboriginal dish made of dried shredded meat and some other dry ingredients) in 1 minute. That stuff is drier than a popcorn fart. Although its not a typical restaraunt challenge its still a tough food challenge none the less.

There's a small local joint in Sarasota, Florida named Burritos Mexican Grill, that serves up the best Authentic Mexican food in town. In addition they serve up the biggest damn burrito I have ever seen. They call it the Mongo Burrito and it weighs 8 lbs. The challenger has 45 minutes to clear the plate. If the challenger wins then the meal is free and so is one dinner each month for a year. They have a vidioe on their website. http://www.burritosmexicangrill.com

Beau Jo’s Pizza is so flipping awesome. It's just as good as it looks. When you're finished with your slice, there's honey dipping sauce for the crust, which is waaaay better than it sounds. They have a crazy amount of different sauces and toppings. artichoke hearts, spinach, etc. for tippings and ranch dressing, pesto, garlic creme sauces etc. for pizza sauce. This place is amazing and a Colorado original. Beau Jo’s Colorado Pies, the best in the west.

It really is funny to read all those negative comments from people that have nothing better to do then hate on othere people for what? having fun!

You know for us Americans we sure do alote more for otheres then any othere country in the World so for being a bunch of fat ass's we sure know how to put or boot up your ass to get things done, at least we are not scared to step up and do what needs to be done but hay its ok, its ok for being the youngest country we are the strongest and like my grandfather told me there are to kinda people in the world there are AMERICANS and then there those who want to be AMERICANS, but dont hate because your not one of us but then again a hater needs a job too!

HAHA you aussies, kiwis, and brits are all the same.. Its America dammit, just like we dont get why you brits feel the need to have "tea time" and why you aussies eat that horrible vegemite crap and chase around dingos all day, you just dont get that in america we have a thing called the american dream. if someone wants to eat a 7 pound burrito then by god who are you to say otherwise? notice the top competitive eater in the world is a 150lb japanese kid!! you brits are just as fat, and lazy, and drunk, and stupid as we are. your food is so horribly unhealthy and greasy! sorry our country is diverse enough to have food challenges. gee lets go to britain and have a meat pie and banger eating contest, or lets go to australia and see how many kangaroos we can eat. dont be sad because your countries dont have a diverse menu. dont be sad that americans get their kicks from eating mass amounts of food and not chasing wallabies all day or saving the queen. sorry that amerian business owners are smart enough to have food challenges. most of the time people FAIL, putting that 50 bucks for the burger or whatever right back into the pocket of the owner. sorry americans are sooo fat and stupid. just call us the simpsons. im not one for being patriotic, but gee.. before you point your fingers make sure your hands are clean.

Get a life, if you dont like it dont look at it! And no Im not american, Im not fat, BMI 20, and I would still do these challenges if offered, have done one in newcastle with a curry. Have scuba dived great barrier so dont take that as an insult to australians.

I think that to complain about "American gluttony" is missing the point. Most of the people that have a go at any of these challenges fail but its the fact that they try in the first place that I find just brilliant. I'm a New Zealander and I'm not aware of anywhere in the country that would even contemplate putting an offer like this on the table as we're all too health conscious and pc here. The fact is, the challenge is ridiculous, dangerous and brilliant. The fact that these people are having a go at something so stupid and not giving a sh!t is just fine by me.

"This article sums up everything that is wrong with America." - posted by Mario Stronzo. You, sir, are a pompous ass if you think some fringe article, quite clearly describing restaurant experiences one may have that are very much not the norm, sum up anything aside from what some journalist did with several hours of his or her time. The fact that you took what you did from this article, rather than amusement (as was quite likely intended), says a lot more about you than an entire country upon which you are generalizing. Your attitude sums up quite a bit about what is wrong with human judgment, you holier than thou idiot.

An old flame and I went to the steakhouse in Amarillo,. Texas in 1975 while passing thru on our way to Oklahoma. He decided to take the 72 ounce steak challenge, which at the time cost only $50, I think. Well, he managed to eat the whole mess of food! It grossed me out to the max. And all he wanted afterwards was a liter bottle of Pepsi. And he drank that whole thing, too. Wow.

Actually, I only took about 2 minutes out of my day to point out hyphenation errors. It's not just a nit-pick, the correct usage makes it a heck of a lot easier to read, because you use a different beat and emphasis when the term is hyphenated. I did indeed hypercorrect "grey", thanks for pointing that out. I didn't realise that American English used the British spelling in that situation. Back on topic, I think I could take those pancakes. I'm sure I've eaten more than that in the past without ill effect.

I've been to the Big Texan. They told me about this trucker who would come in every few months for his 72 ounce steak. He'd starve himself for a couple of days, maybe just drinking alot of liquid to keep his stomach from shrinking. He come in to the restaraunt, ate the whole meal in about 45 minutes, and asked for dessert. Don't mess with Texas.
