From the Las Vegas Sun:
Ryan Rodacker doesn’t want a chair.
The professional eater from Portland prefers to stand and wait for the beast to lurch out of the kitchen. Plus, any pro will tell you it’s easier to slay beasts standing up.
It’s Thursday afternoon at Windy City Beefs-N-Pizza in Las Vegas, and Rodacker — a 36-year-old 200-pounder known in some circles as “Max Carnage” — psyches himself up by thinking about the busy week he just put in.
After arriving in Las Vegas on Monday, he headed straight for the Sugar Factory, where he slammed down the shop’s 16-scoop ice cream sundae.
“Crushed it in seven minutes,” Rodacker says.
Just a few hours later, he rolled to the Heart Attack Grill, where he ordered a Quadruple Bypass Burger, an 8,000-calorie, four-patty sandwich topped with tomatoes, onions, special sauce and eight slices of cheese — a 5-pound feast.
“I added chili,” he says. “I beat it.”
Feeling good and far from full the next day, Rodacker headed to Sonio’s Café and signed up for the “Get Beefed” foot-long challenge.
The goal? Finish two 12-inch Italian beef sandwiches doused with giardiniera hot peppers in less than 30 minutes.
Rodacker was a bit surprised by the spice of the peppers. He had never eaten them before.
Didn’t matter. Gone in six and half minutes.
