Unimpressed with the sugar and grain. Just give me the eggs, cheese, and add some bacon (who doesn't stay stocked up on bacon???).

I imagine having a sideways refrigerator would impede your ability to stock up on food anyway.

We buy lots of bacon; we eat lots of bacon.

Today, in an attempt to earn free beer for a year, a friend and I tried eating 2 lb. burgers with 1.5 lbs. of fries, in 15 minutes. This thing was at least 7 inches tall! It had 8 beef patties, 8 slices of bacon, 8 slices of cheese, a bunch of onions/ jalapenos, and more. It cost us $25. We took home enough for people to eat and there is still some for lunch tomorrow.

Where is the wall of fame? There isn't one! Nobody has finished... And honestly, the basket of fries in 15 minutes would have been close. Life lesson: don't ---- around with food challenges. Leave it to the pros lol.

I'll see your pancakewhich, and raise you the Chevy Silverado that rolled up at the jobsite this morning at about 6am, from which two very sociable gentlemen hopped out and fired up the huge smoker on the trailer which it was towing.




Breakfast was on the house, and consisted of eggs with cheese, grits with cheese, and four different smoked meats:

If I was wealthy, I would travel the world attempting to conquer food challenges, like Zimmerman. I'm quite confident I have seen quite a few on TV and elsewhere that I could take on and defeat. I used to be a ------- eating machine. My stomach has been called a black hole by just about everyone I know. Even in highschool at 5'10" 135lb I could go to McDonalds and get 4 regular cheeseburgers, a 20 piece nugget, a large fry and large drink, eat and drink it all and still be hungry and go find something to snack on. My school lunch used to consist on average of 4 round pizzas (roughly 9" diameter, personal pizzas), 2 fries with cheese, 2 chocolate milks, snickers ice cream bar and a few chocolate chip cookies. Then I would steal ---- from other people to eat. I went to a ballin' *** school, Hoover, in that retarded "two a days" show that was on MTV for a while. We had a food court with all kinds of good tasting, very unhealthy ----.

I have beaten several local challenges, but none too impressive.

Protein shake for breakfast/bedtime snack. Be jealous of my good foodz.

Wow!

Another thing... The food tore up the inside of my mouth. 1-1/2 pounds of hot and salty fries. I know there is a TON of beer at stake but daaamn.

I'll get a picture posted of the challenge. Lmk if you could defeat it by the look of it, Jesse.

It's always more, or worse than it sounds, so maybe, maybe not. Currently, probably not. I've been eating 1200 calories a day on average for the last 6 months, so my stomach has shrunk a bit. Even then, I can still eat more than anyone I know, by quite a margin.

That's because you live in Ohio.
