barakus

Just wondering have any of ye seen this show, its on channel 249?
The main dude is a legend, entering eating competitions and going around the place scoffing 5lb pizzas and deep fried sandwiches weighing 2 and a half pounds. He has to be the greediest fecker Ive ever seen. Its on now btw.

Its a good show I think. Yer man is a good shownman and he can eat for sure. Wasnt able for the giant burger though.........7lbs of meat, 2 lbs of bun, a whole onion, 9 slices of cheese, bacon, ect.
He put the 72oz stake away though!

Great food porn alright. Everyone is annoyingly american though.

That guy rocks

I saw him eat the Giant steak he had a good game plan eating the meat then the salad n starches last

But some of the stuff he finds n eats like that Frigging Monster whale of a burger, I mean who the **** eats that? lol

That "Hell Burger" Sounded real nice though.. Made me so hungry...

In fact im starving now

Watch this every chance I get. The food is amazing, however must question the American attitude to food? Its unbelievable, imagine a famine in the United States?

Still great show and cant wait to get my chance and go try a few of these out!!!!!

Have not seen the show, but Charlie Brooker did a brilliant article on it quite some months back:

Awww the show gets me every time. The best looking thing were those cheese steak subs in some place where the challenge was involving wings. The sub with the mozzerella sticks and chicken tenders and other things was postively orgasmic looking.

Some seriously tasty looking stuff on that show. The down south BBQ where they cook the meat slowly for like 16 hours and it all falls clean off the bone and is then covered in sauce and spices looks insanely tasty.

He wins around half of them I'd say.

Read that he starves himself for a day or so to make room and then attacks. After then he runs and does various other physical activities, good man.

I have to say,watching him eat is one of the most revolting things I've ever seen in my life.
It's not the amount,it's just the way he shovels the food into his mouth,hideous:eek::eek:

Bleedin Delish

just reading about that is making me feel somewhat ill :eek:

When asked on twitter, he said he also drank litres of water in the run up to these challenges to stretch his stomach. A common technique used by competitive eaters.
