Pizza Tsunami in San Bernardino

On January 13, 2012, Surfer Joe's in San Bernardino unveiled it's first-ever eating challenge. The challenge featured their one-topping 28" Tsunami Pizza. I was given one hour to eat the pizza with $50 on the line. The first half disappeared quickly, but the remainder was a fight. The restaurant will have monthly eating challenges and I plan on returning! The owner, the customers, and the food were outstanding.

Amazing! Did you always have a huge appetite? You look much taller than all the people in this video, how tall are you? This challenge puts you in a totally different category, right up there with other competitive eaters!

[Freak8R]

@Jackflash62 My appetite has always been big but it's only been this big lately, lol. I'm just over 6'2 but everyone else in the vid was under 6' so I end up looking oversized.

why don't you film the whole thing and just speed it up? would be more interesting imo.

@Andyyyk47 i worry that every video would end up looking the same! I think it's important to show some parts in real time. The end of that pizza was a real fight.

That looked pretty tasty. Is food like pizza harder or easier to do than say a huge hamburger where you 'have to' eat meat all at once or buns all at once etc?

[Freak8R]

@jj655321 pizza is one of my favorites, but just like @DUFFYISBACK suggests, you can strategize on a burger or hot dog by separating the different parts. Pizza is tough because you have a huge crust all the way through.

Dude you rule, I defiantly subbed

@jj655321

i would say a burger challenge is more easier as you can eat the meat first then the bun last (carbs) with pizza its mainly carbs

You must take some crazy BM's

No human being should be capable of eating that much food... that is stunning... it would take me a week to eat 12 pounds of pizza. Amazing.
