The Millet Monster
One of our readers sent this in today, 4.5 pounds of ground Alberta Beef, and a $500 prize if you can finish it in an hour! But if you don't finish it in time, you pay $200, with the proceeds going to local charities, a great idea!

Owner of the restless Wheels Restaurant, Abe Ame'r has issued a challenge to any one who thinks they have a huge appetite.
He has created the burger to end all burgers. The Millet Monster, as he has dubbed it, is equivalent to 32 normal quarter pounders.
The meat patty consists of 4.5 pounds of ground Alberta Beef, a loaf of bread, four large tomatoes, 12 slices of process cheese and almost a full head of lettuce plus assorted condiments.

Abe challenges anyone who thinks they are able to eat this monster to come on down and take the challenge.
Here’s the deal to date. If you are able to eat the whole thing, including the bun, and all the condiments within one hour, you get $500 in Canadian funds. If you fail, you pay $200. Of the $200, the restaurant gets $35 to cover the cost of the burger and the balance goes to the charity of your choice.
As it now stands 4 Millet businesses have jumped on the bandwagon, but as this goes to press, others will be approached to help sponsor the event. The hope is that at least $1000 will be raised as a prize.
Further developments will be posted on the Pipestone Web-site at:

The Party Sub Challenge

Top form, these two champs decide one day that they're going to each consume a 4.5 foot party sub. No time limits, no pressure from spectators, just the challenge itself. They've each blogged their experience, so click on their respective pics to read their story

From: http://www.theplug.net/2004.04/partysub.htm

One year ago Jason and I took part in a landmark food experiment called Mystery Can. To celebrate our willingness to be gluttons for punishment, Jason came up with an anniversary challenge. The premise is pretty simple. We each get identical party subs (the four and a half foot monster seen above), and we eat it until it's gone. It's not so much a race as it is a life lesson to never listen to Jason again. Now without further ado, Party Sub Challenge...

The Party Sub Challenge - Jason

Thoughts On Eating a Party Sub

Yes, Jason has camel toe.When Jay and I first discussed this little event I was gung-ho. Probably because I was unemployed and couldn't afford to eat. Free food for a week sounded pretty appetizing. Now that I see the 4.5 feet of sandwich cut up and stored in my refrigerator I am having second thoughts about this. Mainly because I let Jay put onions and mustard on the sandwich and those are two of the grossest things on the planet. My prediction is that I will enjoy it for about a day, get kind of tired of it, vomit, have to force feed myself the second half, have my stomach pumped, and never eat a sub sandwich again. So... we'll see.

****************************************************************************************************

Monday - 6pm

Jay and I just picked up the subs. It looked a little intimidating when we had all nine feet stacked up. Regardless I am still excited and am going to eat as much as possible tonight. The fewer days that I have to carry this sub to work the better.

****************************************************************************************************

Monday - 10pm

Four hours of marathon sub eating and I haven't even made a dent in this sandwich. Katie warned me that I should start off at a slow pace and pick it up towards the end. I didn't follow her advice. I started out sprinting and am out of breath, not even a foot into this sandwich. I already want to throw up. God help me.

****************************************************************************************************

Tuesday - 10pm

Oddly enough I woke up craving the sub. My entire apartment smells like mustard and oregano. I had a few bites for breakfast, another six inches or so for lunch, and I've eaten sub three times since I got home from work. I am glad to say it is going well and is not nearly as hard as I had expected. Tonight I shall pray that sub goodness will fill my dreams.

****************************************************************************************************

Wednesday - 12pm

Okay, this whole sub for breakfast thing isn't really cutting it. I had maybe two bites and had to break down and eat a breakfast bar. It felt nice to eat something besides sandwich or potato chips. It also kind of sucks since I am out working on construction sites and don't have a refrigerator or a cooler. By the time the lunch bell rings the sandwich is just a moist ball of salad wrapped in aluminum foil.

When I planned this, I expected to be almost done with the sub by Wednesday night. I just finished the first half at lunch. I have a long way to go.

****************************************************************************************************

Wednesday - 7pm

Dear God in heaven. I am ready for this to be over. I'm ready for a pizza or sushi or something that doesn't have bread, lettuce, or condiments on it. I would even eat a can of beets if Jay would let me take a shotgun to at least six inches of this sandwich.

****************************************************************************************************

Thursday - 10pm

I have gained four pounds since this whole fiasco started. The sub sandwich diet is a damn lie.

I thought today would be my last, but I couldn't get it done. I'm staring at the last, maybe, 8% of this sandwich and I can't do it. I'll have to save it for tomorrow. I wish I were dead.

****************************************************************************************************

Friday - 12pm

Once again I woke up craving subs. It's the damndest thing. I had a few bites for breakfast and just now finished the sandwich. I feel like I've accomplished something. I feel like my life has changed. I feel like I've made a difference in this world. I feel sick.

****************************************************************************************************

Epilogue (one week later)

It's been a week and I really haven't thought about it too much. I'm trying not to. I have had no desire to eat a submarine sandwich all week, which is unusual for me. I have a feeling I won't have the craving again for a while. I've had my fill.

I tried to add a second experiment to this. Would eating "clean food" for a week make me taste better (you know what I mean)? I proposed that Katie sample the goods on the Monday that we started and then again on Friday. She just gave me the whole "Do you really think these things in your head" speech. Yes, yes I do. And thanks for ruining my Plug article's surprise ending.

In 'n' Out 100x100 Burger
This next burger makes the 20 Pattie In 'n' Out Burger look like a happy meal. Yep, some crazy mofo decided to get an In 'n' Out burger worth close to USD$100!!! 100 beef patties, 100 slices of cheese... Andy, the man responsible for all of this, I tip my hat to your fine achievement of mega-fatness!

From: http://whatupwilly.blogspot.com/2006/01/in-n-out-100x100.html

It started innocently enough with a Halloween weekend in Vegas (2004). What started as a drunken, silly weekend..became quite legendary.

Throughout the weekend, Andy kept on saying: "We should go get a 100x100 at In-N-Out". Over..and over...and over again. Until we finally broke. So on Halloween night, we went to go chowdown.

The Subway Party Sub

Firstly, Happy New Year everyone! And what better way to kick off the new year with a massive subway sandwich? Not your 6" or 12", but 6 foot!

Apparently, most Subway restaurants make these to order... ask for one today, and send me pics :D (more pics in the photo gallery!)

Mega Bacon Sandwich
This one was sent in from one of the lads at Virgin Blue, a worthy entry for what could be one of the biggest Bacon Sandwiches I've ever seen from a Cafe. The cafe who created this monster? The "Way to Go Cafe" in Fortitude Valley, QLD Australia.

Megatort!
It's getting to that time of the year, where everyone eats way too much food... so we thought we'd hit up our local "Torts" shop for a Mega sized tort. $10.45, 2 serves bacon, 2 serves steak, 3 eggs, tomato, cheese, pineapple, onion, sauce.

For those that don't know, "Torts" make tortilla's filled with whatever... breakfast goodies, lunch goodies. Kind of like a kebab shop with nicer fillings...

SSS BBQ "The Big Shank"
The time had come. Time to try and tackle “The Big Shank”, it was a lot harder than I thought it would be….

We arrived at about 6pm Friday night. I was surprised at how few people were there for a Friday though, but we were led to our table and took our seats.

The "Big Shank Challenge" is (from the SSS web site):

If you can personally eat and finish a meal consisting of an entree and our monster Beef Shank (including potato and salad) and dessert, we will give you your dessert absolutely free and recognise your achievement on the Big Shank honour roll in store and online!

There were 4 contestants, myself, Wayne, Ken, and Sean.

Blue Grill's 4 pound Steakburger!
Everyone loves a good steakburger. Nice and thin, tender steak, grilled onions, tomato, lettuce.... mmm... but when I heard about the 4 pound Steakburger at Blue Grill, I was impressed! With a steak pattie 10" across and 2" thick, this is something else!

From: http://www.atlantacuisine.com/tomate/bluegrill.html

The challenge of eating a 4-pound steakburger in an hour awaits those willing to make the journey to McDonough. So, I figured, why the hell not? I have been training my whole life for this sort of thing.

“What does a 64 oz burger look like?” Asked Melanie. As images of John Candy eating a prime rib bigger than a truck (movie: The Great Outdoors) kept flashing through my head.

“I don’t know.” I replied. “But that’s a shitload of red meat!”

Clinton Station Diner - Home of Zeus: The 7 lb Burger!!!!
This was the burger that toppled Denny's "96er", and encouraged Denny to come up with an even bigger burger, "The Belly Buster". Sometimes competition is good :)

From: Courier News

UNION (Hunterdon) -- Anyone who thinks competitive eating is not a sport has never watched several groups of large men each try to power down a 12.5-pound cheeseburger.

The sweating, the strain on the flushed faces, the groans of defeat from oversized contestants: Whatever it is, it ain't exactly an evening at the opera.

But it was the scene Monday at the Clinton Station Diner, where six three-man teams sat down to assail "Zeus," the diner's massive slab of beef once billed as the nation's largest burger.
