Wish I had the pics to back it up. True story:
12 of us at work went to this place in southern ri called the nordic lodge, here's the menu.

A little background: I've participated in about a dozen eating contests back in my early 20's and I prepared for this particular Friday night by stretching my stomach for the previous 5 days as we had a contest who could eat the most food. I didn't tell any of the guys on my team at work that I was preparing with 4 gal water/day, lbs of rice and lettuce, I mean every night I would do everything I could not to throw up, then on Friday morning I fasted after having a HUGE breakfast....to the tune of 12 eggs, half lb bacon, lb of potatoes and a bunch of coffee to push it through. Took a laxative and didn't eat anything except drank a bunch of water and a protein bar around 1p.
The official tally was
9 lobsters (the coast is 5 miles or so away from this place, these are A quality)
6 alaskan king crab legs
8 filet mignons (they were about 5-8oz, not that big)
12 jumbo shrimp
12 little necks (raw bar)
24 oysters (raw bar)
and to wash it down:
2 pieces of a quad layer carrot cake
6 choc dipped strawberries
2 pieces of cheesecake
This was in 2005, they gave me a shirt and all but 2 (of the party of 12) left the table because they were sick from watching me eat. There's a 2 hour time limit and I pushed it to about 10 mins from the buzzer. Needless to say I won and saved myself 100 bucks
References still get made to that night frequently......I was sick for about 36 hours after that night but never showed weakness lol.
There's talks of a return to that place but I won't be repeating that anytime soon.
