Saw the episode last night where Adam managed to eat (with some ease it has to be said!) a 72oz steak. THAT'S 4.5lbs OF MEAT  I have a strange urge to travel to Amarillo Tx to try it  Goodness knows what it does to your bowels though...

I've watched someone try the 72oz steak challenge when i went to that restaurant. It didn't look at all fun.

I reckon I could manage the Big Texan steak on it's own with no problem. It's the sides you have to eat that would kill me off - a baked potato, shrimp cocktail, salad and a roll.

There's a place in Pontypridd that does a 60 oz steak. I ate the steak completely. It was the serving bowl of chips that did me in  Not sure if I'd attempt it again though - felt like crap after!

if you want to try something like that, your best bet is to try the 64oz steak challenge at Spur (bar and grill). its about £50+ if you can finish it within the hour, its free. regardless of win/lose, you get given a free T-shirt.
I could never imagine tackling one of those eating challenges. the regular meals they show on that programme are already big enough as it is! Seems somewhat insane that a slim, size 10/12 young lady is able to sit down to a 1lb burger, oozing with cheese, onion rings, and some fat steak chips.

There was a place I used to go to in Sydney called Ribs'N'Rumps (there place where people meat...) that had a 2kg and a 3kg steak challenge. If you ate the 2kg one within the time limits etc you got a 6-month membership to 'The Meat Club'. If you ate the 3kg version you got lifetime membership to the club plus your own, personalised steak knife - kept in a trophy case and presented with much fanfare whenever you went back... class!
Apart from that, the biggest i've done in a while was a 950g Prime Rib at Hawksmoor.

 This is approx 2kg and fed 4 of us on Saturday night. 3kg on your own is INSANE.

I've done the Spur challenge quite a few times. An easy way to get a free dinner if you ask me.

The Cow House at the XScape in Castleford do a 72oz for around £45 - the problem I see is that if I'm spending £45 and eating so much of something I want it to be the best I've ever tried. How likely are they to have fresh 72oz steaks on a daily basis and surely by the time you've even some of it the rest is cold? http://www.xscape.co.uk/castleford/concessions/cow...

Jesus, who saw the one in Sarasota where he was having a go at the hottest chicken wings? He only managed two then had to go and stand in the freezer.

I love the program but i am starting to get worried he is going to die of a heart attack soon on TV. He seems to be getting fatter too..
My favourite is the pulled pork sandwiches and double dipped ones..
