Looks like none of last years Pho Challenge contestants is up for a rematch so how about a 4 pound burger? Nice selection of beer to wash it down. Centrally located in Walnut Creek.

In case you missed the Pho Challenge last year....

According to angle the pho house is kaput, so there won't be a rematch.  We had a brief disucssion on replacement venues with one of the fire breathing chicken wing spots as top contender.

I'm intrigued by the 4 lb burger but commute traffic puts the hamper on anything in the east bay for me.

There is no way I could do it.  But it would be fun to try!  You thinking after the holidays, to thumb our noses at all the new year's dieting??

Art, there's always the 5 pound burrito at Iguanas in Santa Clara/San Jose.  :smt005 The pho shop in Mountain View probably went under, due to loss of business from not ponying up the T-shirts.  :smt044

Forget the training!  Let's go for broke on natural skillz.

Anyway, I can't afford to be training for competitive eating, who am I, Joey f'ing Chestnut? 

Actually i would appreciate a week notice so I could throw a couple days fasting in there lol

Man...how may slices in this pizza?  I saw one guy on the "wall of shame" ate 24 slices in 45 minutes and gave up!
