    Don't know how that guy is still alive. His fat intake must be huge and his cholesterol level must be through the roof.
    Prob not tbh, his challenges are only a tiny portion of his diet. Only one a week or so prob. As long as he makes up for it else where he is fine (assuming he makes up for it as he isn't MASSIVE, just a bit OW)

    If you have nothing worthwhile to add to the discussion - don't bother posting.

    Thanks,

    I know that they show it on the Food Network on Sky. Channels 262 & 263 I think. Don't know what times it is currently being shown though.

    Apparently he gets on the threadmill for about half an hour straight after a challenge and exercises twice a day while on the road with the show. (Got that part from wiki.)

    Think this show is excellent. Last night on Dave himself & some Irish looking bloke failed eating a pizza the size of a bicyce wheel (30"). Is was funny watching them to start sweating & looking like they were drunk. Watching this programme makes me want to completely forgo fine dining for deep fried heaven. Think American versus European eating!
    Do any restaurants in Ireland have challenges like on the show?

    when you compare some of the American food against ours there is no competition - theirs looks unreal (some of the beef is cooked for 48 hrs and smoked and looks amazing) while all we have is fast food joints like mcd's, burger king, e.rockets - America all the way !!

    There was a steak place in Liffey Valley who did it, not sure if its still on the go..

    it's called Spur Steakhouse.

    i think they do a 4lb steak challenge there on a wednesday or thursday night (or at least they used to), but i'm pretty sure you have to book if you want to do it and you'd want to call them anyway to confirm.

    I don't agree - some of it looks great but a lot of the stuff he eats looks like muck - eg anything with luminous yellow goo they call "cheese sauce" on it, or sandwiches with gravy poured over them.

    I'm with you. I don't think their food culture is something we should aspire to. Even their "normal" portions are disgusting.

    There's a reason they're the fattest nation in the world.

    Agreed. There are some things they do very well, but there's an awful lot of absolute crap too.

    They aren't. Not in terms of % of overweight people anyway. There's a good few countries ahead of them. Mostly in the pacific.

    I agree their food culture is terrible though.
