Welcome to the Meat Sweats!
We leave for Tornado Alley on May 13. While down there, I plan to conquer The Texas King – the 72 oz steak challenge at the Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo.
We will be live streaming some storms, and live streaming the steak challenge. You will not want to miss out on the action, so there are 3 things you can do to make sure you don’t miss out!

Back to the steak!
I had hoped to do the challenge last year. We got there early, I could not wait for all of our friends to show up (skipped lunch to make room), so I ordered the 18 oz steak “Man Vs Food” version of the challenge. And also a big plate of “Mountain Oysters” The Steak was actually very good.
I asked the chef cooking up the big steaks if he had any secret tips for me. He said “Get a good sharp steak knife and use that, they let you bring your own, saves time cutting”
Here he is
So I researched the worlds best steak knife and found it was made by a German company that has made knives for 200 years.
I emailed them to see if they’d be interested in sponsoring me with a set of their steak knives. I heard back from them in less than an hour.
I am now a sponsored Athlete! And I plan to Dominate the Meat! I might even put those 2 dots over my last name!
I’ve done my research, and have a few other techniques. For example, World Class food Athletes, such as myself, have a term… “The 20 Minute Meat Wall”… kind of the opposite of what Weight Watchers teaches about eating slowly because your stomach is 20 minutes ahead of your brain. Extreme professional food athletes (such as myself) know we have 20 minutes to get that meat in our stomachs before our stomach says to our brain “Holy Crap we are freaking Dying!!!!”
