Throwdown Challengers- 7/15/11 and 8/01/11

The Five Star Five Pound Show Me What You Got Throwdown challenge was issued and so far three brave men have taken their best shot!

On 8/01/11 Ryan Kerr and Jason Warren came in together and faced down 10 pounds (!) of meat, 4 sides and 4 pieces of garlic bread.

All right, guys! Get ready to dig in…

Your 55 minutes start now!

Still going strong at about 20 minutes… our favorite quote at this point was “mind over meat”-but eating 5 pounds of meat along with sides is no easy task and in the end the guys had to admit defeat.

THE AFTERMATH! Another classic quote from the challenge “I’ve got the meat sweats”.

The other Throwdown challenge happened on 7/15/11 when Alex Walton came in all the way from Clearfield to make the first ever attempt!

Alex put in an incredible effort but at just under three minutes to go he had to admit he wasn’t going to make it.

He did, however, eat FOUR WHOLE POUNDS during the challenge making him our current record holder!

We can’t help wondering--- who might have the mettle to take the record away from him?

If you think you can, just give us a call and we’ll set up a time for YOUR challenge!
