IT was an omelet place in the Riverside Ca area back in the late 70’s, and they had 12 egg omelet challenge. You had to pick a minimum of three fillings, and I chose bacon, sausage, cheese, and sour cream, with all the bacon I wanted on the side and a large glass of grape juice. I think I had about 7 slices of bacon, and finished in under a half hour.
Not much, despite being overweight, I can’t eat huge meals. My failure is in the form of sweets, and I can’t even eat that much of those.
I’ve never eaten so much that I actually threw up, or felt as if I were going to throw up. UGH! But the most I’ve eaten would be getting through most of a plate of my favorite junk food meal, a 2 entree plate at Panda Express. It’s 1100 calories, and if I’m really super hungry, I can eat probably 75-80% of it. If I’m just normal hungry I can get through maybe half. I did finish one once…ONCE. And was so uncomfortable I’ve never tried it again. Usually I just consider it dinner and lunch the next day.
Considering Circus Circus has one of the worst, if not the worst, buffets in Las Vegas, you must have been VERY hungry that day!
When I was young, I could polish off the food - I could eat 15-20 White Castle burgers with no problem. I could eat an entire Jewel frozen pizza. I remember one memorable lunch at McDonald’s where I killed two Big Mac’s, a large fry, and a large chocolate shake.
Now, I can’t eat but three or four White Castle’s, I can do two slices of pizza, and I can’t finish a Big Mac - let alone with fries and a shake. It makes me sad, actually.
No wonder he was jolly.
I ate 50 pieces of sushi once.
Childs play! That’s how I warm up!
There is a place nearby that has an “All you can eat” lobster buffet. I go there maybe once a year and put a serious dent in the inventory. I don’t keep close count, but I think I downed about a dozen and a half once.
Damn. Now I’m hungry.
I can’t remember, so I’ll regale everybody with details of a recent meal. Yesterday at work we had a picnic. I had a hamburger, a small chicken breast, a skewer of about a dozen shrimp, some macaroni & cheese, a few vegetables, a corn cob, a few vegetables, some baked cinnamon apples, a whole apple, and an Italian ice. Then I got hungry three hours later and had a Zone bar (a nutrition bar).
This whole meal wasn’t too much out of the ordinary for me. I’m training for the marathon in a week and a half, so I can eat all this stuff with impunity.
Eh, this probably isn’t going to impress anybody, but I once ate two dinners.
I had gone to a mystery conference (Malice Domestic) and I had a couple of old friends who lived in DC and who said I must get in touch while there. So I called them, they came by my hotel, picked me up, and took me to dinner. It was a bit early for dinner, and what I probably should have said was no thanks, because my publisher had a dinner later for all its authors and I had to go to that. But my friends were all excited that they had been able to get reservations for this place (because it was way early, that was probably why) so I went, and I ate.
Then I went off to my publisher’s dinner, which was at Ruth’s Chris.
Now the thing with me is, I don’t eat a lot, but when somebody else is buying me dinner I feel like I have to eat it. I’m like one of those monks who starve most of the time but a few times a year go out begging for food and when they get it, they have to eat it all. The place my friends picked was one of those places where they don’t actually put much food on the plate, and then they stack it up, and it’s really arty, but not really a lot of food. That was good. Ruth’s Chris, alas, was not like that. Big hunk o’meat, and other stuff, lots of it, and dessert, and…
So, ate it all, felt really stuffed and horrible (but I got to sit next to Sue Grafton!), could not wait to get my strapless bra off as it was cutting me in half. (Long-line bra, I should explain, the problem was at the waist.) I was swearing not to eat another bite for the rest of the weekend but, oddly, the next day I was hungrier than usual. So I guess you could get used to overeating.
There was another thing–maybe the next day–called Death By Chocolate, and I think you could take that literally. Or so I heard. I didn’t go.
I can eat 50 eggs.
I’m impressed by what everyone is saying here, my pizza record is 18 pieces of deep pan large slice in one go, another time red rooster half chicken and large chips plus 2 large cokes was still hungry so had 4 Big Macs with 2 large fries also.i weigh 75 kg now, so it didn’t affect me since I do weights everyday but I’m a big eater.
I can’t remember any specific instances but I’m gonna start training to perform a feat worthy of posting here
:eek::eek:“All you can eat” lobster buffet.
:eek:
Where can I find this place?
Glancing over the replies shows me that this has not yet been answered. Looks like OP wants to exclude bulimic fits.
Every sport has its own doping problems, huh?
Well, in my neck of the woods, Nordic Lodge has all you can eat all sorts of stuff including lobster. A bit pricy, but our household does it once a year as a mutual birthday elebration [we just did it last weekend of September. It is one of 3 totally off my nutrition plans a year [Thanksgiving, 4th of July and birthday bash] At basically $110US per person [no alcohol, tip] it suffices for all our celebrations in the course of the year =)
I once, over the course of eight hours, ate a Big Mac, big fries, chocolate sundae and carmel sundae, two candy bars, a huge bowl of popcorn, and half a big pizza.
I also fasted all day, then ate a two pound boxof chocolate and a liter of red wine.

Didn’t Paul Newman do that in Cool Hand Luke?
About 10-11 lbs of boiled crawfish and a couple of small taters, washed down with 3 bottles of Bud.
