I’m half Filipino. So, basically, anytime there’s been some family reunion of some sort at any place (home, some relative’s home, some rented out place, etc.) it’s always been eat all you can eat galore.
I don’t remember exactly how much, but it’s basically a social event where you eat and talk from the moment you arrive until you leave.
Had to be Thanksgiving in '93. I was 14 yrs old and around 5’7". I had like 6 heaping plates of food for dinner. I mean, mounds about 4" high full of turkey, ham, mac’n cheese, collard greens, the whole nine yards, on top of dessert. There were no leftovers that year. Shocker that I grew 6" in 3 months that following summer.
A large salad with everything (chicken, etc), 1/2 of a sampler appetizer (half rack of ribs, chicken, brisket, corn), 32 oz prime rib, mashed potatoes, mixed veggies, and two large pieces of bread.
Once when I was 12 I drank 22 cokes in a 3 hour time span, that’s 3500 calories…I think I’ve done more beer in one sitting since then, but I could’ve give an honest count.
2 ea. 12 oz prime ribs
1-1/2 pounds of boiled shrimp
7 dozen raw oysters
1 side salad with balsamic vinegar dressing
4 coronas,
1 slice of strawberry cheese cake.
$107.00, I was full and left the restuarant. This all happened at the Monument Inn, all you can eat seafood joint at the San Jacinto Monument state park out side of Houston.
I have also eaten 2 of the 11 ounce sirloin dinners from Texas Roadhouse, with baked sweet potatoes, and fresh vegetables,
A friend and I once set the all time record at a popular breakfast place in our home town. I had a lot of massive meals in my youth but that one was exceptional enough that the waitress refused to serve me anymore when I asked for another plate of something. Now my stomach is much smaller since I stick to the 6 meal a day thing much more regularly.

…MI Waiter: “All right, sir, was that all you can eat? Good, that’ll be $107.00!”
Either you or the MI are missing the point of an AYCE restaurant.
You’re supposed to make sure the place sets a price BEFORE you start eating! You crazy kid!
Three pints of Ben & Jerry’s, a bag of Oreos, a family size bag of Doritos, and a box of Nutty Bars. I think I was drinking Diet Coke to get it all down. That’s my biggest cheat meal anyway, over about a two hour time frame.
The most I’ve ever seen someone eat: at IHOP once I saw this guy who worked there try to break the work record for the largest egg omelet. He got a 72 egg omelet, with cheese and veggies inside. Only ate about 3/4 of it, but that’s still ridiculous.
-Ten Plates (full not pusstastic half plates) at the Mandarin plus six free refills of diet coke (you gotta even things out ya know). I had to take two shit breaks. I barfed on the way home.
-I went to this place called the Big Apple near Coburg Ontario. I got two pies for my family to eat. I tried to get a fork so I could try some but my ugly ass could’t charm the slut behind the counter. I even tried to buy one for five bucks. So I ate the whole two pies with one of those little gardening shovels to piss the people at the place off. I love apple pie.
If anyone lives in the bay area, California there is a resaurant in walnut creek called McCovey’s. it is named after the great willie mccovey and is decked out with SF Giants gear and other baseball memerobelia.
gettin to the point here, they have a 521 burger to honor the number of HR willie had, it is a 44 oz angus patty on a whole bread role and is stacked with all the toppings. if you can finish it, it’s free, only one person has done it. Im not the one who did, although i did try, i got about 3/4 of the way through and just couldnt move. i challenge anyone to eat that much meat and then all the bread that goes with it.
