This was just amazing.

I only guessed at the calorie count. Anybody want to run the numbers?

    I'm impressed - he must work hard to be able to do that sort of thing....but I don't know why you'd want to!

    I punched them into a calculator (using the numbers from the Denny's site) and came up with 8,610 calories.

    I didn't include the "Build Your Own Hobbit Slam" in it. So if that guy ate one of those as well then it could be very close to 10,000 calories.
    :huh:

    When there are people literally starving (in both the UK and US) and would do anything for one bag of chips to share with their families, I'm not sure why this sort of thing is publicised and applauded.

    Competitive eating is singlehandedly responsible for the homeless epidemic
