NMisc Official Competitive Eating/Food Challenge Thread

[The Solution]

If anyone wants five guys they come visit me
its free

[Crucifist]

Honestly, that looks far better than I was expecting; would definitely give that a try if I could.

That giant pretzel bun is the best part. When a burger gets that big everyone seems to default to the tried and true sesame seed bun, but not these guys.

Side note: Choke on karma, Cowboys.

Found out it wasn't sanctioned/put on by the MLE. (I was told it WAS going to be an official qualifier by someone who came out to watch me take down my last challenge).
Also wasn't worth the two hour drive.


Congrats to Ross though!

guy does not get enough recognition (quality eater IMO) nothing to go huge like top 5-10, but still good none the less
Any challenges you would drive to say LA to do?

Really just depends on the prize, my work schedule, and if anyone else participates. If it's furious pete, naader, or someone else wanting to do a challenge Id gladly make the drive up!

Glad kevin won though, he's a cool dude.

My 2nd to last challenge last Feb was with Ross via "The Pancake Monster". The only time I ever did one with him actually. It was at Brian's 24 in downtown San Diego for a AHA fundraiser of all things. Winner got $500 gift card to the venue and every person who finished had $50 donated to the AHA as well as their $10 entry fee. No finish no big deal, you just lost the entry fee. He and I were neck and neck every bite of the way but I manged to pull ahead by 17 seconds (17 minutes final time and at the time new record that lasted 6 days prior to "The Mantis" beating it by 3 minutes). Never had I been pushed so hard to keep pace in an eating challenge. In his defense pancakes are one of his last choices (my top choice) for food challenges, he hates pure starch heavy contest much like I do fried food and cheese challenges. Like Bob said.....he is a legit contender that does not get the attention he likely deserves.

Its annoying to see him "pose" with a different shirt. Why can't he just do a "pose" with the same one at the same day.

OCD crew checking in.

Doesn't bother me much, but kind of agree. Also not a fan of jump-cuts; speeding up slow spots is all well and fine but just do not like jump cuts.

Edit- The Storm does The Rock's Cheat Day Challenge.

Always feel so awkward watching this gentleman's videos.. for some reason. *shrug*

He seems like he may have either a speech impediment or mental issue (no hate, just sayin'); comes across as a bit awkward but enjoy his stuff anyways.

Watched about 2 min and agree not quite right

[ErikTheElectric]

It's not necessarily his speech, I can't really wrap my head around it but..very awkward.

[VinBin]

The Storm kid clearly has some form of disability, and I don't think it's simply a speech impediment. I thought he was much younger than he is, as I thought he wasn't even old enough to drive (he has a video of him driving). My main concern is that he may have some serious issues that are not being addressed. I don't think he is like many of the fitness enthusiasts that go on "controlled binges" and then have enough insight to ensure micro/macronutrient intake and maintain weight through "healthier" compensation.

Also, the frequency of his eating challenges clearly don't seem to correlate with his lack of weight gain. I would wager that he either partakes in extremely unhealthy compensating habits or purges afterwards. While most youtube channels that do eating challenges seems to employ some "healthier" methods to maintain weight, I have doubts about The Storm simply due to what I think we can all see is some form of disability.

[gbullock32]

^Dunno about all of that; he does do challenges pretty often but does... fail? some so he does not seem to go all out or anything; think he did a video of his 24th or 25thish Birthday too. He seems slow, maybe some slight mental disorder but does not seem to be anything dangerous.

Wont comment on the unhealthy eating habit/relationship with food; hard to say sometimes- could be that he does exercise but doesn't mention that part, or that part of his disorder could be metabolic maybe.

[VinBin]

I'm not sure what completing 80-90% of a 12,000 calorie challenge ("failing") has to do with my point. He still consumed an enormous amount of calories (probably 3-4 days worth) for his frame. If we assume he DOESN'T have any purging behaviors (which excessive exercise would be one), that means he's starving himself on the other days and only sustaining on whatever binges/challenges he does. Either way, this is extremely unhealthy from any standpoint. I say this only due to the frequency of his challenges, his probably disability, and high likelihood of purging behaviors.

As mentioned above, most of the other youtube personalities have found healthier methods to maintain the occasional binge/challenge.

[ErikTheElectric]

^ It was the "elephant in the room" so to speak.. I just wasn't going to mention it. But I agree. (despite the fact that I try NOT to make judgements in situations such as this one).

[gbullock32]

Getting back on topic, anyone know what happened to Joe Park? Love his videos, especially his ICU (I challenge you) ones; but he hasn't posted in a long ass time.

[ErikTheElectric]

Went back and redid broken yolks "ironman special" to start out the day! Relatively quick, but I took my time. It was WAY bigger compared to the last one, at about 75% capacity lol. But it was a free meal (likely around 9-10,000 kcals with the cheese, eggs, biscuits.. And the butter, jam and maple syrup)


Really hoping I didn't set myself up for failure this early on in the day! But I'm off to train!

[Geoloop]

how the hell can you train after eating that much.... whenever i eat a lot i feel like crap the rest of the day, sometimes the following day too

[gbullock32]

Feel the same, big meal then lifting.... ugh; ;eaves me feeling ill, more than once have been. Fasted training all the way now.

[ShyGuyXS]

This. I can't train on a full stomach, either.

Erik, you continue to amaze. GJ man.

[ErikTheElectric]

^^ Training after that was TERRIBLE.


Felt like yakking midway through my session. (Which never happens)
Was sweating like mad in 60 degree gym.
Lifts felt weak as hell.



Oh well, I got through it. DEFINITELY needed that many calories (for free) because of how much it would've cost me.


In so much pain right now, lol.

[ErikTheElectric]

A few snapshots from a few meals from yesterday.. video coming soon! Won't reveal whether or not I hit 25k.. *Cheeky grin*
















$$$

[ErikTheElectric]

(Family sized KFC box lmao)



Orange Chicken + Bejjing Beef + Fried Rice



My secret "Cookie Pie".. So many kcals in this baby (Will share recipe later). ~ 120g of PB + Butterfinger Cups + PB Cups on top...



No words.. just deliciousness..



Hnggggghhh









STAY TUNED FOR THE VIDEO!

[ugasar]

^Damn son, you seriously continue to amaze me! 25K?!?!?!?!?! Please get video up over the weekend so I have time to watch it haha..

Also, would you say a 3-4 lb burger challenge with fries is tougher than pancakes? I know you did the AYCE pancakes at Ihop last year (as did I) and am trying to compare.. Although I know it may be an apples to oranges comparison due to one being all starches and one way more protein/fat (and also obviously depends on the person as well). I got 33 pancakes at Ihop so I am just trying to get a comparison as to if it is going to straight kill me or do I stand the slightest shot at it haha..

[gbullock32]

^Can't wait for the video... wont lie though some of those choices seem pretty bad for calories/fullness factor- donuts fill me up pretty well unless Krispy Kreme (could eat those all day), and rice, an the biscuits. Seems a lot of starches IMO, but guess it depends on how you handle them.
