The 72oz Steak Challenge

The rules

Read these before you take on the challenge.

1. One hour

   You have 1 hour to finish the entire 72oz Steak Challenge meal. If any portion is left uneaten when the timer ends, you lose.

2. Check the cook first

   Before the timer begins you may cut into the steak to verify the cook. Once you approve it, the timer starts — no send-backs.

3. Stay seated, go it alone

   You may not stand up or leave the table once the clock starts. No one may touch, cut, season or assist with your meal — any help means immediate disqualification.

4. The fat rule

   You don't have to eat the fat. Staff decides what counts as fat and what must be eaten.

5. If you become ill

   The challenge is immediately over (use the container provided).

6. Seating and sharing

   Challengers sit at a table assigned by staff. No sharing. If you quit or fail, you may take leftovers home, but they can't be eaten or shared inside.

7. Payment

   The full challenge price is paid before you start. Finish and the whole meal is free; don't, and you forfeit the full amount.
