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

[Deepster]

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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?

15 years ago I could have actually given it a great run. These days I wouldnt last.

75 bucks is the meal price if you dont finish. You get a shirt for trying. If you finish you dont pay for dinner and get your name up. Competive eaters do it all the time.

So is vomiting allowed here? Like a strategic purge midway before powering through? I feel that chugging the boot halfway would likely trigger that.

They give you a bucket but vomiting is a dq

Molly Schuyler ate the steak in under 3 minutes.


Her inspiring post steak quote "I feel sorry for whoever has to sit next to me on the airplane."

She ate 3 in 20 minutes!

but it’s more fun watching normal humans go at it.

He's out!!

Wait, I spoke too soon!

This reminded me of Phil Rizzuto on "Paradise by the Dashboard Light"

Always rely on Big Texan ground transportation...

Each limo has longhorns on the front, and there's the Horse Hotel if you ride in.

The idea of trying to eat a 72 ounce steak and sides is idiotic.

The idea of setting up a livestream to film it is genius.

This is a puppet show more than a restaurant.

It’s just food eat it!

Back in early 2002 when resorts were still hurting from 9/11, a friend and I unwisely used a chunk of our severance pay from being laid off from a travel dotcom to fly down to Our Lucaya for some golf. Place was pretty deserted, maybe 20-25% capacity. Their restaurant ran a steak challenge as a promo along with golf discounts to attract US travelers. I want to say it was 64oz but I can't find the certificate to prove that. We both did it, but it took the better part of an hour and the next morning we both shot about eight strokes higher and played at least a half hour slower than the day before. I've had much better steaks. These days I doubt I'd even want to tackle a cowboy steak.

Im praying someone is up for the challenge today.


Ive got the live stream on in a second window. Watching them to prep work. Looks like they are blistering peppers on grill right now.
