    this restaurant must be on the fritz. The best eaters usually eat a lot less for a lot more. Why they would split 500$ to eat 15lbs of disgusting roach infested burrito is beyond me.

    I wonder if Stephanie Wu knows that some people don’t like all the “reporting” going on.

    The challenge is $150 not $500, so that’s a decent payout for eating quite a bit of food.

    I’m glad Wu is such a nosey person. All the “announcement”s she puts up are so full of information .

    That we already knew.

    Slow clap 👏

    Did you put any salt on your food? Did you weigh that?

    I was wondering that if Wu finished this would it count as more than one win? Maybe 4.196532 wins because of research ? She could make this into personal micro challenges.

    Miss Wu,
    I am enamored with your many challenge wins. I am curious, however. As an aspiring competition eater, what is the appropriate amount to tip after a large meal? Is 15% still ok if I drink 10 refills?

    I am going to start bringing my industrial sized kitchen scales and weighing all my food. I’m getting a complex.

    Wu could have an infomercial on how to dissect and weigh food. She could ANNOUNCE it to the world! How helpful!

    I would like an informative on how to weigh my glasses of water. The ratio of water to ice is so confusing.

    CORRECTION
    I thought I had a win yesterday but I only had 457/459 of my sandwich. I regretfully withdraw my win.
