Camera feed down?

Hope everyone is satisfied. We busted it.

Likely don't want to live stream their health inspection.

They probably have a kill switch in the event of projectile vomiting on the grill.

"Cut the feed!! Cut the damn feed!"

the camera positioning has been horrendous ever since they moved it. They really need to go back to the Classic View. This Eye-in-the-Sky one is a disaster.

Exactly. Hide the cockroaches NOW!!!

Feed is back, but camera angle is worse than ever. Let's all put in a request to make the change back to the original angle or something in between (I just did). I used random stuff for email and phone.

My note: Please fix the camera - We need to see the entire table. Please go back to the original angle or something in between. The current one is not great.

I really prefer the overhead, much better view of the food. But they gotta let us see the entire table and the grill. Perhaps a slightly wider angle would do it.

There is a dinner on the table but no eater. And a clock is counting down...

 

[August_West]

We should chip in and buy them a new webcam. I’ll match donations

True story. I submitted a request last week about the blurry feed and I received a reply from a Peggy Sandlin. She's probably thinking, "people actually check the feed?" and "from Connecticut?!"

"We are having some issues with the camera and they are working on it."

Got a couple of cowboys at the table now looking like they are trying to recreate the Paul Rudd "Hey, look at us" meme.

 

[Peacefrog]

I'm not sure yet whether to take these guys seriously. They've got those goofy matching hats on. Their pace is a bit pedestrian and they just seem to lack purpose.

And has a new side been added? One guy looked like he was eating some corn or something but of course the camera isn't showing the bowl.

 

[Dove]

12:30 and no action on the grill?

 

[uchuskies2009]

Hard to know for sure with the camera angle, but we might have a real contender right now. Not a ton of steak left to finish with about 24 minutes to go.

Yeah, guy on the left in particular. He's working on the potato now but other sides are done I think. He's made a lot of progress on the steak too and still has 20 minutes. His consumption rate hasn't dropped that much from the start either. He's also cognizant of the clock (he has looked up at it a few times). This indicates that it matters to him.

Side note, grill seems pretty dead for a Thursday at noon.

They will allow substitutes for food allergies, and I believe they will also allow substitutions is someone just does not like one of the sides.

 

[Peacefrog]

15 minutes to go and the guy on the left just forked a big chunk of steak and large shard of potato at the same time. A very good sign.

I think this guy is going to make it.

 

[uchuskies2009]

Looks like he has about 5-6 bites left with more than 11 minutes to go

 

[Peacefrog]

He doesn't seem to be hitting a wall here, the only thing that could stop him is puking.

 

[Dove]

Ohhhhhhhhh...restaurant sends in a female distraction!!

 

[uchuskies2009]

Winner winner, free steak dinner

 

[Peacefrog]

Winner!!! With 5 minutes to spare.

 

[CTMike]

I was skeptical but nice to see he got it together!
