Thanks buddy. Sounds like a good goal!

I too was surprised how close the race was. Really, all three of them finished faster than I expected. As for me, I understand capacity is one of the most important thing in these contests. Speed comes over time with practice. I am just not very interested in speed eating and the train rigor to expand my capacity.. Occasionally I will do a contest because the event sounds fun and there are amazing people there. I just try to do my personal best, and my goals are not to be at the bottom and to have fun. I prefer the food challenges and making fun videos. Thanks.

Thanks Matthew! Fun contest and I managed not to be last. That was a win for me! 😁 I’m doing great. Working hard and always finding good things to eat. How about you? How’s everything going?

Definitely a lot of fun Mack! Much more on an amateur and speed eating than food challenges. Finishing it is one thing, which is more of the challenge aspect. I may be able to count all my contests on 1 hand. I just don’t compete and don’t do speed eating. Which has been my choice; for the most part I’m not interested in it. Every now and then, there’s a contest with a lot of great people that makes it fun to go and be a part of. My goal is typically, not to be the bottom and have fun. 😁 Knowing who was going to be here, I just didn’t want to pass it up. Thanks! I always appreciate hearing from you. I hope one day, our paths cross and we meet in person.

Thank you very much. I can’t eat fast, so it’s much easier to keep clean. Plus, I don’t like to dunk all my foods in water. I’m not a fan of soggy foods (except cookies in milk). 😁

Thanks, Wayne! I had a great time getting to meet and talk with you for a while too. I too hope our paths cross again sometime. A slower pace would be good. I definitely enjoy challenges more than contests. 👍

Thanks Leah! ❤️ It’s definitely a lot for me for 15 minutes. We had a lot of fun getting to talk and hang out for a little bit before and after as well.

I sure did! Thanks ❤️

The food is good, just not good for you. Everything is fried and the only veggies there are the lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and onions on the burger. I suppose the fried jalapeño for the popper in the sandwich counts too. The sandwich alone is only 9” and is 2260!calories. But hey… who doesn’t like fried foods. They taste great!👍 I couldn’t imagine trying to eat 5000 calories of celery. I love celery, but I’d be eating it for 2 days to eat that many calories. Given how low the calories are, I think flavor fatigue may set in before getting to 250 calories. 😂😂😂 💯 agree, those guys are incredible. And I do agree, I’m certainly better than most people, I’m just not at a pro level and never will be. The average person couldn’t finish that much food at all, and certainly not in 15 minutes. I’m good with that too. I’m not interested in the training rigor to stretch my stomach and all the work trying to get faster. I consider myself a UA-cam eater. I enjoy what I do, I’m happy with how much I can eat (more than most people), and have had a blast interacting with everyone on UA-cam and other platforms. I have no aspirations of becoming a professional competitive eater. I came to this event to meet some great people and have fun. And… my goal was not to be last, which I achieved. I also have family here that we got to visit and spend the day with, which was a lot of fun too. I did get to talk with them for awhile, and even met up with Dan and Scott the night before and hung out for awhile. Great guys. Thanks for everything Sam! ❤️

I can appreciate that. Especially from me, the guy that doesn’t like soggy breads. In the end though, both Dan and Wayne had trays full of water and soggy food. They both had to scoop and scrape the last bits up and drink the water. I assume that’s just part of the contests. Really, the only real contests I have done have been sausage, where no one dunks, wondering this is a first for me. I think it’s common though for this type of food.

@OldGuyEats yeah you're right sausage I love anything with sausage great now I'm hungry LOL

@@brandywilson8933 Hahaha..😂😂😂. Me too!

Thanks Sean! Food challenges I’ve done a number of, but contests I think I can count on 1 hand. I am definitely an amateur when it comes to competing. Trying to eat fast is just not something I rarely ever do. The milk… I thought that would be great with the Oreos, and just something fun. That fried Oreos in the milk turned out to be probably the best thing I ate too. They were delicious.😋

Really, their capacity is 2-3 times what mine is. And they have practiced eating fast for years, especially Dan and Wayne. The amount of food and speed at which they can eat is mind blowing. Being out of my league is not a bad thing. They train to eat more and faster, and I don’t. I am happy with the amount I can eat and the challenges I do. I will never be able to compete with them, and that’s by choice. I’m not interested in the rigor it takes to stretch my stomach and be able to compete at this level. My hats off to them, they are all incredible.

Thanks Brandy! The event was so much fun. I was really happy to be able to get to compete with them. I may have been way out of my league, but they are all great guys.

The crazy thing is, Scott did awesome. He beat his qualifying time by about 1:30 min. I’m still blown away with just how fast Dan is. It’s just incredible.

@@OldGuyEats Yes Dan was wild, crazy thing is I had never heard of him until now 😵‍💫

@@TheTinfoilmanlive Dan can compete with the best in the world!

@@OldGuyEats I'm sure he can after watching this 🤩

I appreciate that! My goal was not to be last, and I achieved my goal at the contest! 😁

Thanks Derek. As you know, I didn’t go with any delusions of winning. I went to meet some great people and have fun. I also experienced a first… first time I dunked anything in a contest. The Oreos in milk were awesome! 😂

😂😂😂 Thanks my friend!

Yes. I got a cookie Sundae. 😋 It comes out about 7:15min into the linked video. It was delicious.

Thanks for your feedback. I am having a blast with the food, the whole UA-cam creation process, and the engagement (both positive and negative). I appreciate your support and that you care enough to engage; all engagement helps my channel grow! 😁

Thanks! Eli and I had a great time on that trip despite the endless onions in the challenge. 😂 We’ve done a few things together.

Nice! I’m sure the fatter ones are great!👍

Thank you!❤️

It’s good, but I miss the Key Lime Pie and Grouper I get in Florida. We just don’t find Grouper much here, and good key lime pies are harder to find here. 😁

Thank you! I actually didn’t either until I started looking for cakes to celebrate with. Delicious!😋

I understand. I get hungry watching other people‘s videos, and mine too😂.

Thank you! That’s awesome! And yes, kids do love them. No, they are not spicy. They have a few pepperonis and cheese filled up in the dough. It takes like the dough was probably brushed with garlic butter too. Very good!😋

That’s awesome! Thank you!

Mine too! I’ll do more videos there at some point (how fast to finish a whole pizza, big pies, or other things).😁

The pizza and rolls were cooked and good. I always like this place, but, we all like different things!

🔥🔥🔥 I always enjoy it!

Ham & pineapple make a great combination, especially when you add jalapeños too!😁

It’s not something I have seen before, and I didn’t expect the video to be very popular for that very reason. Not as many people are familiar with Mediterranean food, and not many people search for it. I chose Mediterranean and did the video because I really like it and wanted to highlight it. I’m glad you appreciate it. Thanks.

Thanks Coach. Hot honey (not just regular honey) is a must try on pizza. It’s really good. As for pineapple, I like it on pizza too, but only ever get it at buffets. I don’t ever order it. Have a great week!

@OldGuyEats hope u have a great week too! Maybe next time i get pizza ill get adventurous and do pineapple and green chile😁

@ That sounds great! There’s a great pizza in Angel Fire called the New Mexican. It has red sauce, chicken, green chile, black beans, caramelized onions, feta, and mozzarella. It is so good.

@@OldGuyEats that sounds delicious!

Thank you! 😊 I appreciate that. You put a big smile on my face! ❤️

Sounds like a good challenge! What size? I have not had Little Caesar’s in 30 years to know what they offer. Should there be a goal/target number so I a number to buy?

@ See if you can eat six large pizzas all different toppings 😂 30 years long overdue.

@ Doing a little research, 6 seems like it may be well beyond my abilities. 6 large pizzas is around 13,000+ calories and around 13-14 lbs (bigger than Cici’s 28”). In reality, I don’t think I could finish 4 large pizzas, but that would probably be a better target. If/when I do this, I think 4 would be a good target, and would certainly push me. I would love to be able to do this at a Little Caesar’s location and, if I am successful in finishing, I could always grab another hot & ready pizza to continue. How does that sound? Based on my upcoming plans, I wouldn’t be able to do something like this until March.

@ Yes mate would be good to see you do any amount enjoy watching your videos regardless if you win or lose mate.

@ Thank you. Love the suggestion too.

Pizza is awesome! You really can’t go wrong with pizza. Even “bad” pizza is usually still good. I have been eying a couple more pizzas I want to try in the future as well. Thanks

I do enjoy food.😁 Hot honey is great on pepperoni and jalapeno pizza. The sweet heat combo works really well. Thanks

There is a chance our paths have crossed. It was in Austin that I first experienced Double Dave’s. Although I moved away from Austin in mid 1998, I was there for almost 9 years prior and would eat there periodically. Thinking of all the good things there, I just realized they didn’t have any of the Stromboli out at my last visit. It’s always great too.

@OldGuyEats oooh man. Small world. If you ever ate at the north Lamar/ Rutland location you may have seen me. They had a pretty cool set up. Billiards and darts room and a stage for open mic night. Sadly I drove past that location a couple of weeks ago and it's now a laundromat 😞 Anyways the Strombolis are the best. Philly cheesesteak with ranch and marinara for dipping mmmmm so good. Shame they left it out of the buffet that day.

@ I was usually at the location just north of the UT campus (no longer there) or south locations like S. Lamar. Good chance I was at the N. Lamar location at some point. I don’t really remember the specific locations that long ago. The Stromboli was always good. In the early 90s I worked at Einsteins on Guadalupe. Fun place.

@OldGuyEats man I miss Einsteins as well as le fun where every arcade was just a quarter! Einsteins was my go to place as a kid since my dad lived near the drag. Would ride my bike and hit up Einsteins and the Union arcade underground. Used to love going to double daves near west campus when I lived up the street. What's funny is alot of the double daves shut down and turned into rocking tomato which was also really good, but those all went out of business, but double daves still going strong, even though it is a bit pricey these days, I try to go on a day they're having thier specials

I have only had St Louis pizza once and enjoyed it. The cheese was good and I liked the thin cracker like crust.

I thought about that, but didn’t really know what may be best. I prefer the flavor of med rare and thought it would be more tender and easier to chew. Since I wasn’t setting any records, I would enjoy this more. I was also thinking well done (or med well) may be tougher to chew and therefore take longer. I really don’t know the best strategy to make it easier.

@@OldGuyEats I love med rare also. Dang that steak did look good. If that place where here ide do in a heart beat, but have the cash to pay, just incase. lol

@ Good luck!

Now that sounds delicious. I would definitely get that if I found it. I like all of it and it sounds like a winning combination. Thanks.

Thanks Michele! 💯 agree, hot honey really is great on pizza. I learned that a number of years ago at MOD pizza and have loved it ever since. I wish more places offered it. If you like s’mores, you’d certainly like the pizza. It represented a s’more really well. ❤️

@OldGuyEats me too I tried hot honey at mod 🍕 pizza!! Yeah it was so good 👍!!

You just described the perfect Hawaiian pizza. Bacon goes perfectly on it as well, and jalapeños are a must with ham and pineapple. I like the way you think, or I like your tastes. I don’t know if any other place that has pepperoni rolls, which is why I asked. I was curious whether they are pretty rare. It’s unfortunate because they really are good.👍

Awesome! Not sure why it’s so controversial. It’s good. Thanks Jon.

Maybe they are a WV thing. Double Dave’s is famous for them in Texas, but I don’t know where they got the idea for them. They are awesome. Thank you! 😊

I have never seen hot honey with Carolina reaper in it. I’d definitely buy that if I saw it. I’ve had it with all sorts of different chilis and peppers and I love it. In my pantry currently, my hot honey is from New Mexico and has red chilis in it. It’s really good. I love hot honey. I even put it in oatmeal. It’s good on a lot of things.

@OldGuyEats Elijah's Xtreme hot honey.

@@andyjensen7656 Thanks! This may be the next hot honey I try!

Thank you! Ham and pineapple are a good combo. I still think the combo needs jalapeños too though. I have no idea why the pineapple seems to be so controversial. It’s good. 👍 Red pepper always seems tough to shake out. Opening it makes it so much easier.

Hahaha… 😂😂😂 You are absolutely right. And if you try the spicy burger challenge there, you are guaranteed of it!
