Anyone seen this show ?

The Host is a maniac.

He just ate 15 dozen oysters in 1 hour...

it's on the Travel Channel.

check it out,,

wheel,,

I ate probably 6 - 8 dozen oysters while on spring break, over the course of a week, my senior year of high school...that was the worst drive home of my life...and missed another 4 days or so once I got home. Food poisoning...must've caught it on the last dozen of the last day.

I'll bet some guy we know is in the production company behind this show.

(a ****)

Ya think ?

#2.......oysters are funny.

In Florida, as a young man, we would steal them from the Sunday buffet at the Yacht Club where I worked.

One time I lifted one up to slurp it and smelled a foul odor.....I ate it anyway. Big mistake.......lots of poop.

Since moving to PA, I never ate them..........too far from the coasts.

I have however found a great supplier that ships you freshly harvested oysters........you order them Monday, they pull them out of the water on Wednesday, and they arrive at you doorstep on ice on Friday.

I've had a few clams in my day. If eating in the dark, if it smells coppery, don't.

I like fresh clams better than oysters.

I had the privilege of sharing a table with the owner of one of New York's biggest seafood suppliers once.........the guy reminded me of Brando.......bald, big, and poorly dressed (but a millionaire).

He bought us several bottles of great wine and also paid for our dinners........dozens of raw clams and fresh lobsters.

Wow, raw clams sound fantastic... Do you remember what species they were?

^ I doubt they used their real name, but then again, neither did I.

M vs. F. Pretty cool show. I wish I had thought of it. Have you seen the episode where he's in Boston and has to challenge a former employee of a burger shop to eat 7 1/2 lb worth of hamburger and fries, and when the guy rolls in, all 500 lbs of him, Adam's face is priceless "Oh F*&^!" LOL!

#7 I like clams, especially razor clams (you can get them out on Washington's coast when in season). Mussels are even better, however. My main office is just 5 blocks up the hill from Penn Cove, home to world-famous Penn Cove mussels. Can't get them any fresher than right down the street, and a few places around here serve them up nicely. Back when we had time, we used to cook a bunch over a beach fire. Very tasty.

The clam thingy is of no consequence to me. (Cept maybe bearded) I would eat them if one of you Yankees caught them and we had a fire on the beach and I was drinking. It's polite and Id comply, maybe like em. But those things on the Chinese buffet are hideous, orange and ... yuck. No tanks.

Now some Gulf Coast oysters....

I have before and will again eat ten to twelve dozen. Even in an hour. I prefer to space them out but if I have an hour and the damn things are great and some other smoe is shucking, and they are free or cheap then I go to the zone. Love to eat them.

If a clam or oyster smells BAD (bearded or otherwise) then do not put them in your face... period, that's a dam rule. Some of my ship riding warrior friends have revealed a Subic bay nightmare that was ugly to say the least. Stick to the rules guys.

And you gals, don't eat a hot dog if it smells bad.

Course you gals are keenly aware of the rules.

PS

I have not seen this show, concept is interesting though.

#11........In my adventures in Alaska several years ago, I came across a beach that was named after clams......."Clam Gulch" or some **** like that.

I walked down and found a group of teenagers parked on the beach with a nice bed of coals going.

They were grilling steaks and atop each was a freshly caught razor clam........they just let them sort of cook indirectly.

They told me how to dig the clams, but the tide was down and it was difficult to find any at that instance. I tried, but was unsuccessful.

Then I drank some beers with them.

They had a marathon on the other day. I watched him eat a dagwood sandwich in columbus that is 4 lbs of food. He ate that in 20 mins! Its insane.
