Lotsa stuff on that burger!

lynnie 09-19-2017 05:29 PM

it looks gross

SusieQOH 09-19-2017 05:54 PM

This is really sickening!

Chasing Hawk 09-19-2017 07:18 PM

I agree Lynnie and Susie. Both my husband and I don't like those eating contests either.

BETTY62 09-19-2017 07:35 PM

I can see a group of teenage guys giving this a go. Especially if they had Mom or Dad's credit card. LOL

I am with you. Just too massive and gross.

cashs_mom 09-20-2017 09:51 AM

It's rather frightening.

sewn3w 09-20-2017 10:36 AM

I find these sorts of eating contests disgusting and demeaning.

mountain-moma 09-20-2017 04:43 PM

That looks sickening,,,Just my 2 cents

I've been to this diner on numerous occasions and have never seen anyone order/eat these burgers. The rest of their food is pretty good, btw, but I'd not be ordering this either! And I'm usually there with a large group that consists of teen/young adult males - no takers!

First of all-I don't like meat! I like most everything else that they put on it but it still looks disgusting. No money in the world is worth having a heart attack over.

Don't like the eating contests. So many overweight people and they push diets on one hand and eat all you can on the other. Also, very tired of lack of good cooking shows on TV now--mostly cooking contests.

Pioneer Woman is a really good cooking show.

So true- we are such an overweight country!

I love her and have used a lot of her recipes, although I am trying to cut sugar out of my diet (and she uses a lot). I was fortunate enough to be able to go to The Merc last spring, it was so fun! Lucky bonus, as we drove away (the 'back' way behind the building) we happened upon a lovely little quilt shop. Perfect day.

My Mom loves her program and has a couple of her cookbooks. She buys them whenever she sees them at the thrift stores. I just love how her family interacts and how she just loves to cook for them.

I admire how far Pioneer Woman has come from a little blog to a big time star. I read her blog when there was about 100 people following. LOL She deserves it. Great family, dedication, gives back to her community, and has a great business mind. So many say they don't like her , I think it's jealously. She has made all the right decisions and it shows.

I have seen it attempted on Man vs Food. To me it is just a total waste of food and it is far from healthy for anyone to eat like that. One day I was watching the show and realized it just promoted over eating and from that time I have not watched the show. The original host was concerned for his health and stopped doing it - he dropped 60 lbs. It's not for me to say what others should or should not do - but this show really annoys me.

KalamaQuilts 09-26-2017 01:12 PM

if it isn't an eating contest (which are brand sponsored, it is all about advertising) it is usually at come-on, part of a restaurant's advertising to set them a little bit apart.
Saylor's in Portland OR has been offering theirs since 1946. http://www.saylers.com/steak-challenge.html

If it were easy to be thin everyone who wanted to be, would be. The rest is all in fun.
