The Big Texan
Pastore held the official record for completing the 72-ounce steak meal challenge at The Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo, Texas, having eaten the entire meal in 9½ minutes in May 1987 (this was his 7th successful completion of the feat) until March 24, 2008, when competitive eating champion, Joey Chestnut, finished the meal challenge in 8 minutes 52 seconds. Pastore congratulated Chestnut on air shortly afterward. His record was featured on The Travel Channel's show Steak Paradise.

Famous quotes containing the word big:
“There aren’t any good, brave causes left. If the big bang does come, and we all get killed off, it won’t be in aid of the old-fashioned grand design. It’ll just be for the Brave New-nothing-very-much-thank-you. About as pointless and inglorious as stepping in front of a bus. No, there’s nothing left for it, me boy, but to let yourself be butchered by the women.”
—John Osborne (1929–1994)
