Is he joking? He has no idea what he is getting himself into Every drop of eatable beef from the fatty parts have to be eaten He wont even come close to breaking jarvis record. I predict 15 to 20 min tops!

This punk walks into J&R and thinks he is going to break a record that was held by one of if not the all time eating greats of the sport? Someone must have coaxed him into doing this or possibly being tipped off that Nasty Nate was going so he could show up an IFOCE member. Not very professional at all.

Yo i read pete’s comment about the steak tastin like shit. I just read on butiful brian’s bits & pieces that he had the runs from that shit. They might have tried to poisen him who knows. I ate there once and the steak tastes like pure shit . More like horse manuer. I bet its horse meat they use instead of real beef. Imagine not being able to do the stunt and payin 60 buks for that crap. Not me bro

The first symptom of steak poisoning is the loss of the ability to spell! 😉

Where did you get 43 minutes from? LOL…Whats this unprofessional shit about? Take it easy…its just food…I’ve done a 72oz steak in 7 minutes so was hoping for the close quality meat…ill post up the vid from it and you’ll see I finished half of it in 3.5 minutes…some of you guys need to shut your mouths before taking or assuming shit.

And to note I’ve never been cocky about eating…I just enjoy challenges. If I have a goal or record to beat, then obviously I will try to gun for that time…Cookie is an amazing eater, and I personally DO respect him a lot, and his record is awesome. That steak was terrible though…like you couldn’t find a worse cut LOL.

Pete, reading half the stupid ncomments on this site will indeed make one furious. If I didn’t vacate the virtual premises of eatfeats.com on the WEs I would be putting the word, “Furious” in front of Rhonda, I’m sure.
I don’t think that most of those comments, however, are from any of the better eaters, only the disgruntled ones who even I can out-eat, and/or those without a life.

Pete looks at 5 lbs. of meat and sees 20 lbs. of fat. I’m not sure we should take his word for it that the steak was no good.
