    Nice job, Tom. I told the staff at The Catch that it would probably take a pro to take down the OMG. They actually didn’t seem to mind. The manager basically told me straight out that all of the failed attempts would more than make up for the rare payout. I’m just glad they let me have it for free for finishing it at all!

    In case there’s confusion, the $500 prize is not limited to the first to finish. The restaurant has a wall dedicated to “$500 OMG Winners.”

    Good job Tom, but it was done a few years back by Sonya, Rich, Joey, Bob and myself for a whole lot more money.What did it cost to get down there and stay, and then come home.? But anyway a great job for I remember the pain after the contest..Try some high quality liquid protein with pepto for a day or two , youll survive

    It wasn’t for a lack of trying on Tom’s part that he’s never competed against IFOCE competition. They wouldn’t let him in. And yes, he would’ve signed.

    Ron you are a good guy but your comments are boring. Always great job this and great job that. Say something negative once in awhile

    He had the chance to sign while in Vegas at the Nathan’s qualifier and he wouldn’t.

    I’d much rather be a bore than a jerk. There are already too many such toned comments on this site.

    I applaud the three Rs: Ray, Ron and Rona (Wrecking Ball and Larell Marie too), as well as those who don’t (or rarely) post here, like Tim, Legs, Badlands, Juliet, and Sonya.

    Tis better to be silent than talk smack just to stir up s**t!

    That was a big victory taking down this Burger.

    Agreed Rhonda, I would love to see more positive comments here. Its a great site. Where would we get our consistent, unbiased eater news without it?

    Keep up the good work everybody, keep the site supported. Keep the eaters eating.

    That’s Seiken’s biggest problem, right there, laid out for all to see. He considers himself a victim and refuses to take responsibility for his actions! That way he can blame everybody else.

    Wrecking Ball, you must be new to this website or you would know that Rhonda Evans is Tim Janus.
