Should I do the Big Texan 72 oz steak?

[mindmaniac]

Go for it, that would be a great accomplishment.

After reading your seafood feast thread, I'd say you have a really solid shot at eating the steak.
It's up to you to decide if you want to try it. I'm usually happy with a 24 or 26 oz steak with all the fixings. Maybe 40oz if it's prime rib.... I've never attempted a 72oz steak.

reminds me of the Kenny Vs Spenny where they had an eating contest. Spenny ate like 6 lb's of Turkey the first day, and when he finally shat it out he said the bathroom smelled like thanksgiving haha.

I'd eat the steak or at least try

I'm not going to do it. I can picture it being just too disgusting. Today I went to a sub par restaurant in Socorro, NM and had two entrees because I didn't gauge their sizes right by their cheap $8 prices. One entree was beef liver with onions and bacon, vegetables, and mashed potatoes. There was a salad. The second entree was some sort of fake mexican dish with pork, beans, red rice, and smothered in cheese. They were big, but certainly not too big for me. However, near the end of the second entree I stopped eating because the food was so bad and I felt like throwing up even though I wasn't completely full. I didn't finish a few bites of pork and a dinner roll. Based on this, I'd rather spend money on a meal that I enjoy.

FWIW, I once got a 3lb chuck roast, and made a beef roast with potatoes and carrots and ate it all in one sitting.

I think I could only eat half of that thing. I'm 5'9/135lbs, pretty small guy, and I can just eat and eat and poop it all out a couple of hours later. A whole pizza went missing at a LAN party once, yeah...

We eat at Brazilian steak houses a lot. I'd like to find out how many pounds of beef we go through. Sometimes I think it may be a few pounds...

 

[dudeman007]

I honestly think I could do that. Steak doesn't usually fill me up very easily...I can go to Lawry's and leave still hungry. I better have some cash to burn though just in case

I've never had any type of beef in NM that didn't taste like last weeks' roasted ass. Pack your food when you go into that state.

That does not even look good. They may do it big in Texas but they don't do it well.

 

[DangerAardvark]

Don't worry, you can just smuggle what you can't finish out in your vagina. Now man up and eat the shit out that steak.

Update: I was in Texas and asked about the Big Texan "steak."

All it is is a 5lb roast, like Chuck Roast or Rump Roast, cooked any way you want it. Basically it's a really cheap piece of meat that you can get at the supermarket for around $4-5/lb, and they're selling it for $1/OUNCE, not counting sides. $72 for a cheap piece of meat that's designed to be cooked as pot roast for HOURS in order to be tender? No thanks. Ripoff.

Looking at the link to the restaurant's website it's NOT a chuck roast, it's a top sirloin.
Besides, after you get 3lbs or so into it it's not gonna matter what cut it is, just gonna
be difficult to push more down. Oh, don't forget the sides, got to finish all those too to
qualify..

id much rather spend the 70 bucks for a normal sized steak at a good steakhouse...

yup. as per wikipedia:

"The Bengal Tiger can consume up to about 30 kg (66 lb) of meat at a time and then go without eating for days."


after eating, the tiger was probably waiting for the rest of the meal. LOL.
