Do you know a "celebrity" in Phuket

[The Big Mango]

A local restaurant/bar in Rawai in conjuction with four local companies are planning to hold a steak challenge in May.

The event will be attended by and filmed by the phuket news as part of their programming.

We have several people interested in joining in the challenge but I was wondering if the members knew or even if a member is a celeb that would be willing to join in?

Saying that doesnt have to be a celeb , anyone who would like to join that would bring along a few friends to cheer them on , wanting to create a good fun night out with a happy cheerfull atmosphere

The premise of the event is three fold , promote the bar , the companies sponsoring the event and also a donation of (10k thb) to a local charity to the winning contestant.

They need 4 people who are willing to enter the challenge which will be...

A 69oz steak with the usual sides to be eaten within 60 minutes with the winner choosing the charity to receive the donation and of course a few cold beers being sunk by the supporters of each contestant :-).

Comments please or pm for any more specific info.

Cheers from a not so hungry steak eater , 5555 :-)

Edit , of course no charge to the contestants :-)

Why 69 Oz? Why not 68, or 70?

Some kinda sexual connotation?

Frankly, I find all "gluttony" competitions a bit crass.

Much better competitions can be thought of. How about a three-legged egg & spoon race through an obstacle course?

Is dessert included?

[Somtamnication]

I see a celebrity every time I look in the mirror!

'Celebrity', not 'celibate'.

It's closer to 2 kilos of meat.

69 is 1.971 grams.

Disgusting. I never eat more than 200 grams per serve.

[KarenBravo]

OK, thanks. That makes sense.

[hansgruber]

OK, thanks. That makes sense.

I was wrong actually. 70 ounces is closer to 2 kilograms. 1.984 grams.

So you're probably right being a sexual reference.

It's a competition to see who can eat 1.9 grams of steak the fastest. Fastest steak eating competition ever.

69 may have a sexual connotation but all harmless fun , no real reason for it.

Thankyou for the pms received , we have one confirmed member whos going to join in the challenge.

We have a meeting Monday to confirm the date , and what the side orders will be , ie fries , salad etc .

Will post the update next week for all whos interested / curious.

One of the hopes for all is that it will be a fun night out for all concerned

American part count me in but celebrity I'd say no. I think if I didn't eat anything but fruit during the day,I might be able to down the 2 kilos, but overall don't do a lot of red meat here in Thailand. Occasional burger with the crew.

[JetsetBkk]

I used to know one, but he left.

[beechbum]

Make it a roast dinner with all thr trimmings and lots will join in.

[NamKangMan]

Most of the celebrities living on Phuket are in Phuket prison.

They become famous after their arrest.

[Argus Tuft]

So what happen with this? When is it/was it?

[The Big Mango]

Still on the cards Argus ,

Other commitments have meant a delay unfortunately.

Best laid plans of mice and men and all that
