Could You Finish This Off In One Hour?

She did it in 24 minutes!

I have eaten there twice, the last time about 30 years ago. The lunch special was 1/2 of a chicken fried steak with gravy, half of that amount of green beans and half of that amount of mashed potatoes. And I had a large sweet tea. It was served on a platter the size of the one with the green beans on it and the meal covered the platter. It was all I could do to finish it. What is pictured on that platter looks like 3 chicken fried steaks, full size. The price is $50 if you don’t finish the challenge. She did and got it for free plus a free t- shirt.

The trick is to eat as fast as possible before the stomach signals the brain it's full. I might have been able to do that 30 years back, but I now I eat slower and generally hate any feeling of over-eating. Also, I was a lot thinner, and seemingly could eat anything and everything and never gain an ounce.

@BrewCityBarfly How does a stomach hold that much is what I want to know

@cherokeepatti Don't know. Some people's stomachs must be able to expand more (I guess). Age has to be a factor too.

@BrewCityBarfly Heard a doctor on a video say that when the stomach expands too much the body creates more hunger hormones.
