I've never before have had "soul food" but this challenge definitely sounds AWESOME! A local restaurant in San Diego called "Island Soul Bistro" is doing their first EVER food challenge, and called me up and made a fully customized food challenge for me! I've been talking with their owner for the past few days and they even made a flyer for it and are doing an event for me. I'm SO excited to take this one on and be the first to down this much food in their restaurant.
Basically the challenge itself consists of...
1. The "BOB" plate. (Called the "Best of Both Worlds).
"Includes Both Styles of Ribs. Beef and Pork. Both White and Dark Meat Chicken"
Also comes with red rice, "mac-n-chz"m greens, chicken kelaguen (wat)? and potato salad.
Estimated to be 5-6lbs (Feeds a family of 4-5)

2. And then the "Red Velvet Chicken and Sliders" plate.
Supposedly around 1-2lbs. I have multiple plates of these.

3. And then the final piece! The "Crunchy Bread Dessert". I honestly have no idea what this is, but it sounded good when she described it to me. lol
[B]In total, this will be my BIGGEST challenge yet @ 10+lbs.[/B]
LET'S GO FOR IT!

I don't know man.. If done right, could eat every day! So many good options down in the south: chicken (baked & fried), meat loaf, ox tail, fish, ham, hamburger steak, turkey, pork chops, ribs... not to even mention the sides: collards, peas, cabbage, lima beans, fried okra, potatoes, squash.. AND the best of all MAC & CHEESE!!! This will hands down be the best for his challenge I bet! Can't wait for the video..

FUuauaaaa that food challenge would absolutely destroy me. I just recently did the 3 pound pork shank challenge (which was literally just fat with a little meat) with a 1 pound liver dumpling and all the German sides and I will say that, while the volume isn't as much, the high fat content is killer when it comes to feeling full. The satiety hits way harder. So I would advise (like im the expert here lmao) to eat this as fast as you can before the fat glob makes you wanna throw up all the food haha
[b]Erik,[/b] how do you eat and train leading into a contest? Do a lot of biking? Eat low calories but very high volume foods?
I talked to a guy who does professional eating on ******** and he says he would pound liters of SF Jello homemade with diet soda to expand his stomach... Maybe you should give this a try?
-
And for anyone who gives a fuaa... [i]Have you all noticed[/i] how Randy (that pro eater dude) has looked way bigger and leaner in his recent vids? Guys is a beast and getting aesthetic. Wonder what he's on
-
[QUOTE=sonnydfrizzy;1342679761] Maybe you should give this a try?[/QUOTE]
why should Erik give it a try if he is having such success with his last half dozen contests and beating every single one of them
Why fix what ain't broken?

Just giving him a suggestion of a high volume food a pro eater was telling me about that I had not heard of if boiled cabbage was getting old for E man.
I thought the SF Jello mixed with diet coke instead of water was an excellent idea to train for a contest and thought I would share it with Erik in case he had not heard of it before.

Well you can take what about a dozen pro eaters say, and each one of them will be different. Not everyone reacts the same as the next.
Same applies to their diet
Same Applies to their training
same applies to their cardio
same applies to their approach to contests.
I can tell you what Randy would say (off his website)
What Stonie has told me he uses and its different
some of what Joey Chestnut has stated in his articles differs from both of the above
What Furious Pete has posted in some of his Q&A is also different compared to the 3 above.
What "One" always say is not the holy grail. There is always fine tuning that needs to be done
-
Wait, since when do I eat "boiled cabbage" before challenges?

AMEN to that! Ever since I took on Randy's "pre-game" strategy during my stint of eat feats last year I never stopped using it because it worked perfectly for me. Do not change or try something new just to "see if it works" if what you been doing is on the money. Just like a workout plan, if its working and your getting crazy good results, why change a thing?

This.
Everyone has his/her own method(s). No reason to alter them, unless they aren't working.

Speaking of Randy, he stomps out another Cheesesteak-

Also, this is a joke.. correct?

[QUOTE=ErikTheElectric;1342849191]Also, this is a joke.. correct?[/QUOTE]Was going to mention that but figured it was, no way he is big enough to be 'on' anything, maybe a fat burner if he does IF for some energy; strongly doubt he is on anything 'special'.

Oh he's certainly big enough, it's just weird to see someone ask if he's on gear or not.

[QUOTE=ErikTheElectric;1342893161]Oh he's certainly big enough, it's just weird to see someone ask if he's on gear or not.[/QUOTE]When I think about those on gear I think... well pro-BB status or massive, so true point. He is just a bigger guy though, if he isn't natty than he doin' it wrong...

I disagree with this statement 100%

[QUOTE=sonnydfrizzy;1342949751]I disagree with this statement 100%[/QUOTE]Understandable, again when I think gear user I think the over-jacked type so I am hardly a good judge haha; but we best steer back on-topic, don't want this to go more in-depth and get a thread lock.

Just the fact that it was even brought up, is laughable.

Ya better not get the thread locked. But all gear is not created equal, just remember that. Ronnie Coleman is not drinking the same iced coffee as a guy like Steve Cook.
Randy is a beast though. I think it is hilarious how he gets himself all pumped up with his headphones in haha

Lot of it does seem to be mental.

[QUOTE=sonnydfrizzy;1342952291]Randy is a beast though. I think it is hilarious how he gets himself all pumped up with his headphones in haha[/QUOTE]Yeah, the funniest thing are his head moves when he's chomping down on food.
