I wanted to pick two. I think EARL is a good possibility.

[steph74]

Well I hope you guys will put plenty of pictures and video's.....

i say he can do it....

[msmoorenburg]

he is only allowed to call EARL in a Green Jeep good thing i don't own one :)

[steph74]

Who is EARL anyway ?

[msmoorenburg]

U usually do it when you drink to much!:thumbsup: throw up :)

[Mudderoy]

Who is EARL anyway ?

It's the sound you make, usually during football practice, when you are throwing up! :yack:

[steph74]

Oh I got it.... we call it RAOUL
RAOUL le cri qui DESAOULE (Raoul, the scream that sober you up ;) )

[4.3LXJ]

Also called RALPH too. These guys really get around.

[steph74]

One thing is sure, i would try something like that.... made me crave for a nice burger now....
Guess I will have to fire up the grill this week end

[4.3LXJ]

Make sure you don't use "pig slime" burger.

[msmoorenburg]

Make sure you don't use "pig slime" burger.

well it has 1lb of bacon on it

[4.3LXJ]

LOL I was referring to the thread about meat glue. When I did eat real burger, I was very fussy about it. It was a family thing. My dad would go to the butcher shop. They knew him and he would go to the meat case and start pointing at chuck roasts and they would grab them and put then through the grinder right there and he would walk out with 40# of extra lean burger.

[steph74]

sad thing is that it was still like that in France also not so long ago... now, good luck to find a "real" butcher....

I have been guitly in buying the so called fake burgers, and I have no doubt that I had some pig slime in my plate before... oh well I keep fingers crossed lol


When we drove through Amarillo a couple of years back, i so wanted to try the super 72oz (I think) steach challenge.... but I keep thinking eating that much might not be an issue..... the issue is that it gets cold and cold steak is yucky....

Same with burgers so

[4.3LXJ]

Yeah, now you have to pay extra at a small private slaughter house or custom butcher to get the good stuff.

[xj4life2]

Actually Steve over in Oroville is a small shop(can't remember the name right now) that has "fresh kill" meat and is processed in house. Its all organic grass fed beef you can't ask for better leaner beef, its a drive for us but well worth it.And yes I know you don't partake but it was worth mentioning.As for the above burger.... I'd eat that in a new york minute !!!

[bigjim350]

I just hope they have good dessert's there :D

[xj4life2]

That a boy, you do us proud!! I'm thinkin' a Strawberry shake would be good to wash it down and mabey some deep freid Zuccini and rings. Don't suppose they have deep fried Okra there ? If so I'd be all over that

Im sure they have fried okra. Its hard NOT to find fried okra in a country resturant around here.

So how long is a New York minute?

And by the way, buffalo is a much leaner and more tender meat. You can get the good stuff up in Grass Valley.

P.S. I can still throw a killer bar - b- que

I think I've seen it at Lubys and at my house, but not for years now. We would buy it frozen in a bag.

[afbond03]

Under pictures on their website they have a picture of "lindsay" whom ate it in 19 minutes. That is wild.

[hookedonxjs]

I say do it for science Big Jim. What's the worst that could happen you skip breakfast the next morning or have your own podcast Big Jim eats world. Go Big Jim go your country needs you!

[4x4Dalton]

[XJ4IV]

[Metlic53]

I grow my okra in the back yard (love okra)

[bigjim350]

Anybody man enough to take the challenge with me. Would be nice to make a few Bucks hehe.

[4x4Dalton]

If I lived closer Jim I'd do it. Looks good in pic. Shouldnt be a prob to down that burger bro.

[XJ4IV]

If they substituted bacon for all that lettuce Id go for it... remember lettuce is water weight... plus lettuce annoys me, whats the point of lettuce on a burger? it has no taste? is it to give it a cool crisp feeling in your mouth?

[bigjim350]

You can sub anything for anything else.

[4x4Dalton]

More burger and cheese :D

[Mudderoy]

Is this still a go for tomorrow?

[msmoorenburg]

Is this still a go for tomorrow?

So far were all go

[Mudderoy]

So far were all go

I was just reading the rules. You have to CLEAN your plate! The meat, cheese and bread I could do but that's a lot of lettuce.

[steph74]

I would take the challenge.... oh wait that would mnake that burger super expensive ;)

[hookedonxjs]

As long as he eat's a brownie a hour ahead he'll be fine!:D

[Mudderoy]

What's the best thing to get there?

I'm leaning towards the chicken fried chicken, or chicken fried steak.

[bigjim350]

Well I ain't gonna make it. Gonna have to forefit.

[hookedonxjs]

Damn it jim(startrek quote)I just bought foodvs.jim.com on godaddy! Not! I voted yes no prob in the poll. Mudd got me hungry after he said something about chicken fried chicken and steak. Thank's tony I'm too far from pofolks to get that right now, oh well it gives me a reason to go to knott's berry farm now. So thanks tony.:D

everything i've had was great but chicken fired steak is sounding good :)

[4x4Dalton]

Well I ain't gonna make it. Gonna have to forefit.

Well if someone would drive up here with the burger and a video camera I'd down that thing in record time. If I ever make it down there yall are gonna have to sign me up for it.

[Mudderoy]

Well my wife and two daughters met up with Matt his wife and two sons.

No BigJim or Rene.

I was fancying a chicken fried steak but considered a cheese burger or fried catfish. Both my wife and I got the chicken fried steak. She got the 8oz I was hungry so I got the 16oz.

I had the fried okra first. Boy that was good stuff!

It was very good, but I'll admit I started getting sad when it was half way gone!

My wife and I agree, we need to go back and try the catfish!
