Former Miami Dolphins coach Don Shula, who has the most wins in NFL history with 347, passed away at the age of 90. His chain of steakhouses probably had the most famous 48 ounce steack challenge in the USA.
Tiffany Greene has an article and video about finishing a 48 ounce steak from Shula's Steak House at a gathering of central Florida journalists in Orlando. Scott Joseph also has a blog entry about the event.
Site of a free 48 ounce steak
The 48 ounce steak at Shula’s Steak House does not offer any awards besides being added to the finishers list, but Sam’s Steakhouse in Terre Haute, Indiana and Marshall, Illinois has a 48 ounce steak that is available for free. The time limit is 20 minutes, same as Adam Richman’s goal time. Bodybuilder Isabelle Turell received a free 48 ounce steak in 2008.

The world’s largest competitive eating database
In researching eating challenges, I discovered the database of diners who finished the 48 ounce steak at Don Shula’s Steakhouse. The website claims that over 32000 people have finished the 48 ounce steak. If all those diners are in the database, it would be much larger than eatfeats. (Eatfeats has about 3000 eaters and 6000 contest results)
The website reports that Taft Parker has consumed the 48 ounce steak over 175 times.
