AI Thread Summary
A Pennsylvania chef recently gained attention for consuming a massive 15-pound burger known as the "Beer Barrel Belly Bruiser" in just under four hours. The burger, which included a cup each of mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard, sparked discussions about the extreme capacity of the human stomach and the feasibility of such a meal. Participants in the thread shared their own eating challenges, with one aiming to set a personal record by consuming six American hot dogs without buns. There were humorous exchanges about the difficulties of eating large portions, including the messiness of chili relish. The conversation also touched on other extreme food challenges, such as a 50-pound burger contest at a diner in New Jersey, which has yet to be completed by any contestant. Overall, the thread highlighted both the fascination and incredulity surrounding competitive eating and oversized food challenges.

You haven't seen them eat.
 
I am going for a personal record by eating 6 yes 6 American hot dogs 227g, i do not have buns so i will use crusty bread and i will use chili relish instead of mayonaise.

Yum! I always use chili relish and yellow mustard on my hot dogs, and usually branch out a bit and dress 'em with horseradish, too.
 
Go Go Go Wolram!
 
I had to give up on three, my bread has gone a bit stale one bite and i was left holding the crust, so i had bits of bread with dogs

And i had to wash off all the chili relish on my hands.

:bugeye: Yikes! I don't think you're supposed to eat that by yourself! I've seen a show about making it, and it's supposed to be cut in wedges and shared with lots of people - similar concept as getting a 6 ft sub to feed a whole soccer team of kids.

I have to say when I saw it being cooked, it didn't look like a very good burger anyway. They have to partially bake it and it's really well-done or else wouldn't hold together. Bleck.

that isn't that bad. I am sure moonbear knows of the grease trucks. try and eat a few fat sandwiches. its no easy task. and there is a diner somewhere in new jersey, I am yet to find it, they serve a 50 pound burger. they do contests with it. split it with 5 people and eat it within a time limit. you finish it, and you get x amount of money but if you can't finish it you have to pay like 300 dollars. no one has done it yet. ill try and find the name of the place but, harolds deli has some pretty ridiculous portions as well. just one meal will feed four people with left overs. I've done it all by one onesies. :)

Has anyone else wondered how long it took to come out?

There's that one extremely small petite lady that enters all those eating contests that they call the 'black widow'. I saw her once at 10lbs of cheesecake in about 8 minutes.
