I bet Morton's has a great Prime Rib! I've had their Ribeye and loved every bite. But at 22 oz., some of it would be coming home in a bag. OK, now I want a steak too!

Is it even physically possible to fit 73oz of steak in your stomach?

I guess I was never really a steak guy. Im fine with small steaks, dont even really like the flavor, im a pork person. I could eat a lot of ribs.

When it comes to steak, I like it lean. As long as it is cooked well and is lean, I could imagine eating about 24 oz. I once had 3 prime ribs in WY (16 oz ea.), but since they are less lean, I probably ate 24 oz of it.

Fillet mignon with mushrooms and onions in a mushroom sauce on the side is HEAVEN!!!

This morning I had to get a NY Steak with eggs. I can't remembered the last time I had that, but this steak thread made me want one

"This man died from a fatal case of 'Beef Poisoning'. Probably contracted at another restaurant.

i cook with the fat on the steak, but don't eat pure fat on the edges or sometimes in the center of a nice rib eye. the fat provides amply taste while cooking and i do like seeing a decent amount of marbling fat throughout the cut, but pure fat isn't something i'll eat straight-up in mass quantities.

look at that hotdog eating contest, what did someone eat this year, 66? its definitely possible, but like others have said, why buy the bigger steak if its going to be painful to eat it

that said, i know someone who's done that deal twice, and both times just because it was 7-8 people at dinner, but he regretted it both times having had to force that last bit down

I usually order 22 oz...I am quite skinny and underweight...
How can you not finish it ...

I have never been defeated by a steak. But highest I've ever gone is 24oz.

When you're at Peter Luger's, you will finish the huge porterhouse no matter what. Best steak I've had to this date.

The best way to ruin your favorite meal is to eat too much of it, so I stick with just enough to get me full.

Haha! I'm less than half your size: 5'7" 120lbs

Never ever had a 22oz on my own. The largest I've had is also 16oz, but that was when my stomach could take it. Those days are history and I'm fairly content with a piece of 8oz-12oz.

A few years back, if you asked me to eat a 52oz steak, it wouldn't be that hard. I was eating 48oz steaks and helping my girlfriend finish her meal all of the time. But I never had the courage to try the 72oz challenge. I have two friends who've actually finished it though. One around 5'9" 250 lbs, and one 5'4" 150 lbs, lol.

There's 2 records at the steak joint. One for speed, one for amount. The fastest someone finished their 72oz steak was 10 minutes. The other record was a 72oz steak, 3 sides, buffalo wings, and 2 pitchers of beer in 46 minutes. Now those guys are monsters.

These days, a 20oz Rib Eye is my choice.

i find something truly offensive about this kind of gluttony, and am somewhat surprised that people think that acting like a monstrous pig is amusing or heroic.
