Josh Kowalczyk, an intern with the West Michigan Whitecaps, in Comstock Park, Mich. poses for a photo Tuesday. The $20 burger will feature a sesame-seed bun made from a pound of dough, five 1/3-pound beef patties, five slices of cheese, nearly a cup of chili and liberal doses of salsa and corn chips. (AP Photo/The Grand Rapids Press, Rex Larsen) Question: On a dare from Doug Clark, I ate the 42-ounce steak at Wally’s Wolf Lodge Inn some 30 years ago. (Don’t tell Stickman.) That remains my top feat on the dining front. Can you top it?

I once ate the 32-oz. steak at the Wolf Lodge Inn, and that was more than enough. After looking at that photo, all of a sudden I want to go get a cheeseburger…

I used to eat three heaping platefuls at Top o’ Chinas buffet.

It’s funny you mention don’t tell Stickman. I actually take my two sons to Wolf Lodge each year to celebrate their birthdays and all other holidays combined. They love it. They both eat the largest steak, which I think is a 42 ounce one, plus all the trimmings. And for dessert, they order a New York Steak to boot, another 18 ounce piece of flesh that I have to watch being devoured. It all comes to almost $200, and all I have is a beer. It is a sight to behold, with a few beers thrown in and desserts and everything else. They also love the girls that serve up such fare. I will be taking them again in the summer, though I may have to take out a loan of sorts. But, life is short, and who am I to judge. Yes, they are big, both about 6‘4” and maybe 250lbs, or more. But solid. I wish I was, but I am just a vegetarian or sorts.

I don’t have any feats of eating. Not at all.
