The Big Texan 72 Oz. Steak challenge..... live stream

[Kolumbo]

All 3 grills are rocking, I count over 30 steaks on the grills. It's Friday Night.

 

[jleves]

Crap my feed was stalled and I missed this. And now the camera time blocks the timer.... Grrrr.

 

[jleves]

I think there's 15:30ish left and still a lot of meat, although it's going to take some time to adjust to this new angle.

 

[Peacefrog]

Under 10' and it seems clear that he's not going to make it. But he seems determined to not let the steak beat him.

edit. wait, maybe he's got a shot. Under 5' and he's taken care of most of the salad and I've seen him eat some potato but I can't see the potato, shrimp or roll plates.

 

[jleves]

Coming down to the wire.

 

[Peacefrog]

A quality effort. He never gave up but came up a little short. Another 5 minutes might have done it.

 

[jleves]

Great effort but came up short.

 

[storrsroars]

There's something extra sad about a box of shame with little cut up pieces in it.

 

[jleves]

I hope they aren't done fixing the camera - they need to include the entire table. Not knowing if there is a potato or shrimp left sucks.

 

[jleves]

There is serious amounts of meat on that grill. Maybe one bronto burger? Or two?

 

[jleves]

New one on the clock - 41 minutes left.

 

[jleves]

First thought - doesn't look good.

 

[jleves]

Going to the phone with 38 minutes - not a good sign.

 

[jleves]

OK nobody with me here. Seems to be tapping out with 32 minutes left. More interested in his phone and how much is left.

 

[jleves]

OK he's obviously tapping out at 30 minutes with almost nothing eaten. I'm unpinning. Holy crap - at least three pounds of meat left. Serious double shame box.

 

[temery]

What kind of steak are the serving?

What kind of steak are the serving?

Top sirloin

 

[Mike Honcho]

We got two!

 

[huskymedic]

We got two!

... and then they were gone. Just a photo op.

 

[Kolumbo]

3 minutes in. Eh, he's reading his phone and laughing. false alarm.

edit: he just added a quart of quaker state to his sirloin so maybe he has potential.

 

[Peacefrog]

Haven't seen this technique before, he cuts a very large hunk of meat, forks it and then bites off pieces. He's also saturated the meat with juice for full moisturization.

 

[Peacefrog]

OK, waaaay too much socializing.

edit: 12 minutes in and he has made pretty good progress but he's taking a full-fledged break it appears. Talking, texting, mopping his brow. But no eating.

edit: looks like they have queued up another place setting and just put another big boy on the grill

 

[Kolumbo]

We have a second competitor bellying up! Both are big boys so one of these two has to succeed. A first for me and that staggered start time makes it interesting.

 

[jleves]

2nd challenger coming in. First guy is 15 minutes in.

 

[Peacefrog]

and now we've got a third place setting. Going to have a triple and they appear to be separate parties.

This first guy is toast 17 minutes in. He hasn't formally quit but he has no sense of urgency and is spending as much time talking to people as he is eating.
