$55 Says You Can't Eat This

[Jamber]

That's the one variable I won't know until I've started. My stomach acid is pretty strong so I'm not worried about running out of space before I hit the food wall. I usually hit it (food wall) at parties or family dinners but when it comes it stops me cold. I'm more worried about getting full off the fries since it's starch. That's why I'm saving it for last.

Meat's easy ^_^

...You a Boston guy too by chance?

No, no Boston. I just have an appreciation of eating

Unless it was the way I spoke(typed), then I don't know how that comes across. Good luck to you though.

was just about to say samething goolged it and bumped into it 2
on picture i would have said fries would be doable
but in vid wow i wouldnt even start to think i would

[Maarsch]

No

Then again, if I eat any cheese I die. If I eat 2 pounds worth my oesophagus will explode before the cheese can poison me

[chritdk]

haha, sounds like you have a great plan! go for it.

[Blznsmri]

I wouldn't try to eat it. It looks repulsive.

[Ave07]

Wow that looks gross... and yet there are people who would eat this.

[steamrice]

Thats impossible. no way you can fit 12lbs of crap in your stomach.

[Opblaaskaas]

One thing: Epic Meal Time. Whadda ya know about bacon?!!
And another thing; it makes me hungry as hell! Looks delish.

[v2prwsmb45yhuq3wj23vpjk]

Hm, I was under the impression that there was 12 pounds of beef on the burger, then the bacon and cheese, then five pounds of fries.

Two words: adult diaper.

...I got all that off of a fan page dedicated to the restaurant. I dropped by Eagles Deli last weekend hoping to see someone attempting it but it appears folks have resigned themselves to it simply being unbeatable. A damned shame since the EDC is one of the few food challenges that remains undefeated by MLE. By the way, MLE stands for Major League Eating. Most of you know about the Annual Hot Dog Easting Contest in New York every 4th of July.

Anywho, some of the staff said they recently applied to work at the restaurant in the hopes of seeing someone beat it. The owner of the store is getting older and according to legend, if no one beats the challenge before he dies he has it written into his will tbe EDC will be retired as undefeated. According to the picures I've seen it definitely IS doable. It's 10 patties stacked on top of each other topped with cheese and bacon. I usually eat a burger or two when I dine there. The fries they give you are about a third of what you see pictured. I clean my plate in 7 minutes on average.

Oh, I'm getting ahead of myself: I told the cashier over the weekend "The next time I visit, I'm going to end the streak."

What makes me think I'll do better? For one, I can't vomit. I had an operation as a kid that made that impossible. The gag reflex works but nothing ever comes up. Second, I eat big. As I said just now I clear their traditional-sized burgers and fries in under 10 minutes. Doing the math, I've concluded I can finish the entire challenge in under 30 minutes and here's how I broke it down:

10 Patties + Bacon and Cheese: 1 Patty consumed in 45 Seconds, 45 x 10 = 14 minutes, 50 seconds.

Fries: Handful (10 fries) consumed in 10 seconds, 10 handfuls (100 fries) per minute, fries cleared in 10 minutes

Pickle: Consumed in 2 minutes.

Now here's exactly how I plan to do it in order--

1. Start by breaking the burger apart and spread 8 of them across the fries. Dump a cup of ketchup on the fries + burger patties to help soften the fries + burger patties.

2. Eat the remaining Patties + Cheese and Bacon plus any excess cheese that ran off the other patties with the bun.

3. Eat the pickle (duh).

4. Eat the remaing 8 Patties Caveman style.

5. Eat the fries with a fork.

6. Checkmate ^_^

What about you? Think you can do it?

$55? How about you pay my hospital bill after I have the hart attack that that thing WILL induce. I have a feeling that will be a bit more than $55

[A1CZERO]

Burger alone, yes.
But there is no freakin way I can eat the burger AND that many fries.

[drukai]

I think the gallon and cinnamon challenge at the same time is more feasible than this lol.

They would be. The reason the cinnamon challenge is so difficult is because there is no liquid for the cinnamon to bind with, so its just a powder going down your throat, and thats bad.

[Job for a Cowboy]

That shit looks fuckin AMAZING.

Im with you on that one the burger yes but that mount everest of chips no way xD

[Weightless]

At first I was like "oh god that looks good", then I was like "..nah... not really."

[Remilia]

As much as I like hamburgers. There's a limit to what I'd eat, lol.

In terms of the cancer thing, just want to clear something up

Food gives cancer..... man I'm so dead

Burnt protein will create carcinogens if I remember correctly. Its usually negligible, as you'd probably be more prone to skin cancer from the radiation caused by your TV, Monitor, Lights, Sun, Microwave, Computer, etc etc, you get the point.

They would be. The reason the cinnamon challenge is so difficult is because there is no liquid for the cinnamon to bind with, so its just a powder going down your throat, and thats bad.

Its not a challenge, its a human impossibility. Due to how much surface area ground cinnamon has.

Can you cry about it some more?

[Starsurge]

have fun with your cancer if you eat that shit

I second that statement.
Just looking at that thing makes my arteries clog.
