Live Stream - The Big Texan Steak Ranch

"Its about american culture, Texas, the human condition, and ordinary people daring to step out of the grey twilight occupied by the unthinking masses, and taking a true stab at greatness. About triumph, and failure, and for the vanquised the knowledge that they have failed while daring greatly."

25 minutes in..... still going......

 

[Deepster]

You gotta love a guy that just goes to a restaurant alone in the middle of a weekday to mow down 4+ pounds of red meat.

why have sides? Seems like it's a risky strategy.

 

[August_West]

This guy simply doesnt have what it takes

You have to eat the whole meal to win. Including the baked potato and salad. There is a healthy debate on which order to do this all in.

 

[August_West]

You have to drink the boot of beer too.

[August_West]

[August_West]

this was a touch and go moment

 

[87Xfer]

He's out!!

Wait, I spoke too soon!

 

[87Xfer]

do the 6 timers at the top mean we get to watch 5 more guys try this?

 

[Rocktheworld]

Well that boot of “beer” looks as favorable as it could be as far as filling properties

Times up....

Dude ate like 68 of the 72 oz. but didnt touch the sides or beer. Still gets huge props from me for a great effort.

 

[August_West]

we will revisit this thread next time someone is up. A few come up a day. We may need our own game thread chat room.

Or a GoFundMe to send you out there to do it.

It was the + in 4+ that did him in.

People try it every day. You just gotta keep checking in on the live stream. You can see a 72 oz go on the grill and if they put a paper pplacemat on the table it means someone has just taken the challenge.


I like watching them grill in the background. They dip their steaks in a vat of motor oil on the side, there are cross contamination events galore and just this round we watched I saw the cook drop his tongs and a co worker pick them off the floor and hand them back to him.


All part of the Big Texan charm.

 

[August_West]

Yup it looked like he killed 4 1/4 he needed to kill 4 1/2.

 

[FatHank]

I saw him get a shirt. Was it a consolation shirt?

Also, what is the price tag you have to pay for this meal if you don't finish?

I need to check back in on that site. I'd love to see someone go in and do it.

Also, what happens in Joey Chestnut walks in, do they tell him they are out of meat?
