    Absolutely amazing. Eatfeats is terrific for so many different reasons. For all of the silly negativity and threats, what purpose would be served by the so called “unmasking” of the person who gives so much without asking for anything……nothing…….nada…….think about it. And say Thank You.

    I can give you a rundown of some of the local challenges in my neck of the woods.
    1. Punisher Not interested in burning off my tounge and calling 911
    2. 6 wing suicide challenge. I was there last month took one bite out of one wing nearly went into cardiac arrest good luck its not easy
    3, Rocco’s 16” pizza this sounds interesting i didnt know about the challenge. pizza is out of this world .Like the pizza parlors from the 60’s
    4. Go Go curry great tasting food but had to give it up or i’ll get a stroke
    5, Hulkburger 1.5lbs . completed it and it was a piece of cake. quality burger unsafe neighborhood which is the main reason i wouldnt come back for the free meal
    6, Great american burger. Wouldnt bother 1/2 lb burger and all you get for your troubles is a free beer? Might as well buy an angus burger at McD
    7. Carnegie Deli 2 # 13’s . I did it 6yrs ago but barely . They watch you like a hawk. If you leave over one crumb you lose
    8. Pinata’s 2 3lb burritos completed it 3 yrs ago with the shredder. Good food
    9. Swing belly. Tried it failed. Very hard.
    Top 10 eaters could put this away. Jury is out on the rest. I asked several guys to give it a go and they kept putting it off with the same
    excuse. Either put your money where your mouth is or just admit you cant do it
    10. J&R 76 oz Completed it twice once in 2001 and 2004 for MTV true life which never aired
    11. Tumbleweed 2lb burger. Never tried it. Next meal free ? No incentive No thanks
    12. 15 scoop ice cream. Will has the record . I wouldnt bother . Not a sweets man to begin with

    Forgot to mention the 5 lb burger at Black rock tavern in Yaphank. Tried it with Nate last year. Both of us threw in the towel after 30 min . . More like 7lb after they drench it with 2lbs of mayo. Horrible burger but better tasting than Dennys any day. It actually tastes much better when you take it home and re heat it Top 12 ranked in IFOCE will have no problem (erik the red might have his hands full) , Eaters ranked out of the top 10 like Monsoon, Locust and Koch could put this away. And the for the rest of you please dont question my ability to predict. I know what your limitations are through observation. . Ive been in the biz for 12 yrs so i should know something. . There are other things i know about the sport besides bitching about the assholes that accuse me of being a selfish child . .

    That went right over their heads Rona … 🙂

    It’s always nice to read your comments.

    Have a great week!

    Looks like you’ve pretty much covered it all BB.

    Rhonda, I do have to laugh. The driver who keeps trying to hijack the Rolls still thinks, I intuit, that I am you. I even left a comment in support of Sonya and Rich yesterday while you were “doing” your weekend. So much for Sherlock Holmes.

    Hi Rona! Yep, so far I’ve beeen accused of being you, Legs, Tim, Sonya, Hank (whoever the heck he is), BB, OJ, and a few others. Uh Oh … gotta go … I’ve got to post a new thread on eatfeats … just kidding.

    Yep, and Rona was absolutely stunning this morning when I looked in the mirror. She’s ageless I say!

    Gotta go again, I feel a sudden urge to begin another thread.

    Is there a regional list or city list for the UK?

    For example, in this tweet from yesterday:

    https://twitter.com/eatfeats/status/690257960237404161

    How can I find that list given from the eatfeats.com site index?

    I wish the recent comments section had more than the last 5 comments, since my last comment here (above, 6:47) got buried. And since the thread is so old, there is no way for anyone to know this 6:47 was posted here asking a question that some posters may have the answer too.
