Pool's Biggest Eaters

[satman]

Is this what you want?

I sometimes like to bring up things that we talk about in the pool rooms ya know . I'm hoping to get a guy on here to relay the story of how he took so&so on the road, and so&so ate up half of his bank roll . half a dozen eggs, 5 strips of bacon, 4 waffles, 3 biscuits and gravy etc .

We've all heard those colorful stories

At a tournament in Ft. Wayne, In., one of the players from out of state had a big guy with him. They had a bet set up with another player, betting $1000 that the guy could eat 105 White Castles. From what I heard, the guy had previously done 92 Taco's from Taco Bell. I heard the bet was only $500 on that one.
Don't always go by size on eating bet's. When I was in High School, one of my friends weighed about 120 pounds. We stopped for lunch at restaraunt and he ordered 6 bacon lettuce and tomato sandwiches. Each Sandwich came with an order of fries. The waitress thought he was kidding, and i told him, "you won't even eat 3 of those". He ate every bite, every single frie, and drank a coke, a glass of chocolate milk and a cup of coffee. Almost makes me sick just thinking about it. Wonder how big he is now?

sorry but quirky memories about the Miz and his appetite are about as disturbing to me as recalling pipe stories about a diseased junkie

Fats

In 1983 while in AIT at FT. Sam Houston in San Antonio, TX, I spent my spare time at Galaxy Billiards. One evening Fats was there with two gorgeous blonds putting on an exhibition. After wards he invited people to come to a place where your meal was free if you ate the 3 pound steak and all the fixins. I went along with about 7 other people and witnessed another exhibition. He ate it all effortlessly. I had seen him several times before that, but that was the last time I saw him while he was alive. Only man I ever saw out talk Ali!

I gotta vote for our Mr.Jurkus aka Markus Juva. When he was younger he could eat like no one I've ever seen. And he's like 10" smaller and 60lbs lighter than me but he can easily out-eat me... I've seen him eat 3 pizzas in less than 10 minutes or so. First one he rolled up and ate more than 2/3 of it by just pushing it towards his mouth and chewing and swallowing...

Just had a tourney called the Ham Shazamm. If you lost in the 4th round in the losers bracket, you won a Christmas ham. The top 8 (I think, maybe it was top 4) won money. 53 people played at $10 entry, so is that $530 purse with ham added? LOL. <-- cheesy, just laughed at my own joke. HaHa

You could tell some of the big boys came for the ham, I thought a couple of them would've polished theirs off by the time they walked out the door.

I'm staking Shawn Putnam!

I'll take Howard Vickery and you can have the field. You can't take him anywhere that he doesn't know the best places to eat.

Roger Griffis could hold his own too.

Ironman, you take Howard and field. If CrownCityCorey is willing to give up a piece of this action, I'm in. You haven't lived until you've seen Shawn Putnam at a buffet. A couple of yrs ago in vegas some friends and I went up to the buffet at the Riv (Btw, I'll never do that again) and Shawn had gotten there a few minutes ahead of us. One of my buddies knew Shawn and invited he & his buddy to come sit with us. Having a healthy appetite myself, I have to admit that I was in awe. I can't think of the words to describe the mound of food on his plates (yes, plural) or the amount of food he got when he went back for more helpings (yes, plural again). I don't think I'll ever forget that. The following yr at Derby, I saw him entering and exiting a room down the hall from me that had multiple pizza boxes outside the door. I don't know if he had multiple roommates or not but after seeing him at the buffet, I wouldn't have been surprised to learn they were all his.
