He slapped the flat gillig sticker on the wall in front of the grill. It stayed there a couple of weeks.

Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).
Big Texan Steak Eating Thread

Another competitor has sat down for an attempt. Holy shit, that is a huge piece of steak.
WTF was that guy doing? He sent back his steak and sat around drinking a beer for 20 minutes while he waited for it to come back out. He then quit after 8 minutes.
And not a good piece of meat. Probably has lots of gristle. It's the other stuff that makes it hard to complete as well as the body's own satiety system filling people up after 20-30 minutes. I'd puke either during the eating or in the parking lot immediately after.
Every time I open this thread, I think of The Great Outdoors & this part of the Old 96er scene-
"Well sure it is. There's nothing on that plate but gristle and fat!"
Is he dead?
Has this just happened? I hope he’s dead because it would be a funny story. First man ever to die from a steak overdose

At least he made a go of it. The last few days the only clowns in there just sat down to eat it like Sunday dinner.
Yeah, a few minutes ago. He did pick his head up though. Dude made a noble effort. Looked like he ate at least 80% of the steak.
Yeah, he made a damn nice attempt.

Got one up now. Doesn’t look to be a serious contender, time will tell.

I don’t think he’s going to make it, really slowing down.

New contestant up now too. Other guy looks finished.
I‘m guessing it was a boy, but if you told me it was a girl I could believe it.
No, but happens alot apparently. They say 12% of challengers finish the meal, which includes eating all the side dishes apparently...their website says 10,022 people have done this!

Edit to add that someone did it in November, and the 10,022 number goes back to the 1960's!
