There was a place in Stevens Point that had a pizza challenge.

Man vs. Food did a burger challenge from somewhere near lambeau field also. It was the gravedigger burger in honor of Gilbert Brown.

Ward's House of Prime Wall of Fame. You could be on it too. I can't believe someone ate 168oz of meat let alone 40oz. I would be sick! 2 women (from the charactures, thin ones) consumed 72 and 50oz respectfully!

Thanks! I just added this place to my bucket list. 40 oz. would be no problem for me. The price, $63, would be the hard part. That 168 oz cut is $230!
If you can eat it, it's well worth it! I've been to Ward's and their Prime Rib is the 2nd best I've ever had, their Prongs were amazing and so is their steak. Take a date though it's not cheap.
I didn't look too much into the challenge because I can't finish 20oz let alone 40 but isn't the deal, if you finish the challenge it's free, if not you have to pay?
Todd, I
I actually love Old Country Buffet because they have a great salad bar. I make 3 trips: one to the salad bar, one for entrees and side dishes, and one for dessert. The first is definitely the largest and the last one is definitely the smallest. In between, I eat a lot more veggies than meat. We only drink water. My wife follows the same formula. If we eat there, it is our only meal of the day, usually consumed mid-afternoon. We call it "lupper" (lunch + supper).

Years ago, some guys created their own (unofficial) pizza eating challenge at a restaurant in Chetek and one guy choked to death.

When ever I hit those all you can eat jobbers I always have a plate with the salad bar on it! I always eat some veggies and such because my mom told me I should at a young age.
My weakness is the amount I can eat and I push it to the limits all the time, though not as much now as when I was in my 20's.
I have eaten 40oz of prime rib on a bet with the matching meals to boot.
5 big macs is the limit for me,,,6 1/2 that is amazing!!!!!
3 pounds of cheese curds in 20 minutes while driving home.
16 inch pizzas are the norm for me and the rest of the family has to order one for themselves.
Sorry guys,,,I will get off my horse and quite trying to sound all awesome and like a complete slob in the same breath.
And I wonder after the 3rd plate of food at those chinese joints the bring my check!
I opened up this thread thinking that it would be a discussion of good eating habits for wrestlers or a discussion of eating habits to avoid for wrestlers. Disappointed that it turned out to be a discussion of gorge and excess in the wrestling community. Sure hope none of the young wrestlers we are preaching good eating habits to take the time to read this thread...
We are not all perfect by any means.
While I talk about how I "pig" out I am also the first to say my eating habits came back to hunt me done in my latter years.
I believe in good eating and after reading these post I know the first train of thought is no good but most that have posted on here have talked about the need for healthy eating and so on.

I love reading all the great topics on wiwrestling.com. The site does more than talk about wrestling. I love that I can read & post about almost every subject that I can think of. And trust me I post all over the place. This would be a very boring site if we all thought the same. Could you imagine if we were all liberals or conservative or democrats or republicans? The discussions would be boring. I enjoy reading about people who think the same way I do, but I enjoy more to learn about why other people think differently than me. I try to understand why they think the way they do. Sure sometimes we get off topic and we post emotions instead of facts, we are all humans and hopefully respect each and everyone opinion.
I
Kjohnson, let me just say that I really enjoy all your posts. Almost all of them having something upbeat and entertaining to them. You manage to avoid getting sucked into the politics crap. That makes you much smarter than the rest of us. Keep em coming.

I just had a federal medical physical last week. The DR (from India I might add) says for a big guy I have good flexiblity and is in good shape but he noted that my shoulder is a tick off. I explained that I coach wrestling and he was in shock that at my age (42) that I still wrestle with teenagers.
Blood pressure good range, heart rate good range, choestral a tick high but not alarming and he noted that my tattooes were very nice ;D
Todd, Side Note: besides hitting a chinese joint once a month or so, I dont eat like that any more, I try to be a lot better. Though I wonder at times, how much damage I did in my pursuit of eating fame.

So, are you saying that your "skin illustrations" (Ref: "The Illustrated Man") could have medicinal value? ;D

But why does the first ingredient have to be HFCS ? and why is it even in there? Got to be a better way.
I love BBQ sauce, first ingredient is HFCS
You are in control of all the others except this one
I will say most of my answers above are the "old" me
I have only been out to eat 3 times this year, every meal at the house... and I don't do buffets but in the past I would eat until I hurt. We started eating at the kitchen table about 2 months ago after eating in front of the TV for a decade. I still have issues with portion control but am trying to have a glass of water before the meal and during to get that full feel. Snacks after 8 have turned into strawberries
Quote from: futurerichguy on April 23, 2013, 01:25:05 PM
Bullseye BBQ sauce doesn't have HFCS and the first ingredient is tomatoe puree. That's the only one I know of that I can find without going to Whole Foods or shopping the Internet.
Thanks. Have noticed you can find the same item made with different ingredients. 1 good 1 no so good

Try a salad (easy on the dressing) and I to have found fruit to be a good evening snack. I know it has sugar, but it's better than cookies. I have the same problem I can still eat alot. My salad at lunch is hugh, I drink lots of water, It is very hard for me to eat a normal portion.
I think a good diet, but a short book on dieting. Each meal you get to eat 6 different thing as long as you only have a true portion of each item. You would get 3 snacks a day as long as each snack is one portion. Serving would include drinks and condiments.
I think I could eat anything I want as long as I eat only a true serving size of each item. I bet I would lose weight.
sorry 3 post in a row. I think it is bad luck when you do that

Crab rangoon is one of my personal favorites. Only problem is that the Mrs. is allergic, so no kisses that day.

Speaking of Chinese, has anyone watched a Chinese "stir-fry" being prepared in a wok at a Chinese restaurant? I was shocked to see there is little difference between wok stir-frying and deep frying. Typically they fill the wok with oil about 4" deep. Way different than the way I learned how to stir-fry at home with just enough oil to coat the pan.
I have not noticed that but I will try next time I go. Thanks for the info.
My eating plan went out the door this past week. Got together for our family reunion and figured what the heck. Lets not worry about food and drink. Drank diet soda, ate cheese, bread, and a whole lot of other stuff that I have stayed away from for 4 months. As I left the reunion, I made sure I got back on track. Ate an apple for a snack on the way home and had a bottled water. Today I went back to my eating plan and it is hard to get back on track. I can see how people can easily go back to their old ways after falling off the wagon for a few days.
Tonight
One day of indulgence isn't a big deal. I was on vacation for 7 days and had at least a barley pop (not the light stuff either) per day and didn't care what I ate. I did bring my work out stuff with me and after 3 days of indulging I had to work out to feel better about what I was eating and drinking.
It's changing your normal routine to eating unhealthy that will hurt ya in the long run. Don't sweat it. Or eat, drink and be merry and then sweat it out. ;D

Sorry about that, Dr. Snide. I am in excellent health, except for my need to lose about 40 lbs. We just closed up the campsite for the winter, which begins my journey toward losing that weight. Time to eat more fruits and veggies, less meat. Time to keep increasing my exercise level and decreasing sugar intake, which I did throughout the summer (and lost about 15 lbs.). The longevity calculator predicts that I will live to be 87. Even if these changes don't add any years to my life, they will help me fully enjoy time spent with people and activities that I love.
