l -Tuna Shōgun - l - The Professor - l I did see that. In my opinion a restaurant can’t screw a person over. It’s an eating CHALLENGE. Supposed to be difficult and you are supposed to struggle. It’s NOT a challenge if you know you can do it.

​@@geoffesper The reason I said that she was screwed over because she was given a much bigger portion than other people, however she could have refused to do it possibly (which I'm not sure how establishments react to that). My feelings are that If an establishment said it's x weight, with y ingredients, they can't just add 3lbs to it without disclosing it, it's not fair, nor is it fair to even add extra weight as it affects every other participant when it comes to time. There are plenty of people who have been "screwed over" and still beaten a particular challenge(which is great/hilarious!), but it doesn't change the fact that they were given extra food which affects their overall time. A big part of these food challenges I notice is that people are trying to get the top time, in addition to beating to challenge. So having something that is bigger than someone else just affects everything. This is how I personally feel though, but I have heard eaters also upset with unfair weights as well. A challenge can be easy or difficult, but I know you're the type of person who wants to be pushed to their limits which is respectable. This is why you are where you are, at the top of the eating world, and why you have many fans who look up to, and respect you. All the best, Geoff, you definitely don't like "Easy." :)

l -Tuna Shōgun - l - The Professor - l I still think that if you introduce yourself as a food challenge person or CE the restaurant can make the challenge anything they want. These restaurant challenges aren’t really for us anyway. They are for locals. ( some exceptions) They are supposed to be fun for the restaurant and for promotion. Sometimes I think we take advantage of them. Might be the reason why some restaurants decide to stop them. The only exception is if it’s a timed challenge that has a cash prize. That should be exactly the same every time. If there is. No cash prize who cares who did it the fastest. Means nothing to me.

​@@geoffesper I agree with you on that, these establishments can do what they wish, HOWEVER I believe that they should make another challenge in that case, not try to play off that it's the same challenge that everyone else did. As for who they are for, I really do not know if it's just locals, or if the establishment is just trying to get people in, as I see a lot of challenges in tourist cities that are located near airports/transit. I agree it's about fun for everyone involved, but even if one of you professional eaters complete the challenge, it will still bring in people as most of you do Videos, have huge promotions, as well as bring in tons of "locals." I look at "Randy Santel" as one who brings in TONS of publicity to an establishment. If an establishment added a lot of weight to one of Randy's challenges, even if he won, there would probably be a lot of his local-fans that would NOT want to support such an establishment. No one likes to lose the challenge, which is why these restaurants do enlarge the challenges, but it's not right at all in general. Be fair, or don't have the challenge, or make another challenge to suit your professional audience. If amateurs are 5lb pizza, professionals could be 8lbs, but keep consistency. Professional A having 7lbs, and PRofessional B having 8 lbs doesn't help either. As for taking advantage... Any sport or profession will have people who can make money (Professional Poker players), while there will be those who lose it. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. These establishments are no doubt winning more than they lose, even with the professionals, and most of them are cheap pizzas that they end up charging 50$ for, while only having a cost of 5$ to make. As for Cash Prizes, to me, they are the ones that are tampered with the most, since the establishment DOES NOT want to give out the money. There are also establishments that will give the meal free if you beat the previous time, or previous amount of food (i.e., the cheesesteak challenge with record of 8 or w/e). It gets wild out there. Some professionals might or might not care about time, but I'm sure that there are tons of "Amateur" Eaters who love going against their friends to see who has the best time. This was an Interesting conversation regardless, Geoff. It's interesting to hear what the Elite Eaters think about certain facets of the food eating world. I appreciate your time chatting about this, as well as taking these restaurant challenges, and then purposely making them bigger yourself... The type of eater to go into a food challenge and say "That's all, can't you make it bigger?" lmao. Have a great day Geoff, all the best. Talk to you soon.

SauceySauce81 I’ll price it out. 🤑

Thanks👍

ZoeLovesU Hummm. Good idea. Maybe I’ll do a bunch of Easter challenges.
