Second try! Satire or scary?

(I tried to post this yesterday, but work got busy and I never got it finished.)

I can't figure out if Dude Foods Blog is serious or a joke... but I'm afraid I'm leaning towards serious. It's all about the food this guy eats. Example:

"I stopped by on a recent Friday night to try their Big SOB Burger, which consists of four 1/3 pound fresh Black Angus patties, three different cheeses (with 12 slices of cheese in total), bacon, grilled onions and diced jalapenos along with fries on the side.

I actually thought the Big SOB would be a little more difficult to finish, but I really had no problem at all. I honestly think I could have eaten two of them. ... I even ate the rest of the chicken wings that my buddy Chris ordered but couldn't finish because he was too full to eat them all. Too full after eating his one patty burger..."

It's not like ThisIsWhyYou'reFat.com, the food isn't interesting, it doesn't ever tempt me to try it. (A burger? Sure! A burger that's well over a pound with a crapton of other stuff on it? No.)

Part of me thinks it must be a joke, that no person could eat the amount of food he does, but stomachs do stretch so if you eat a ton of food all the time you can keep eating that much... Still, the amount of food he listed in this post (not to mention so much beer), just seems impossible. He posts a picture of himself, and if it's to be believed, he's a skinny little guy.

0_o Wow.

So much food, and not even GOOD food, yikes.
He must be blessed with a god-like metabolism.

Onions, on may burger?! Blasphemy! Replace the onions with more bacon and we've got a deal! The jalapeños can stay.

Have you seen professional competitive eaters? The good ones (good at...eating?) are really skinny. Apparently fat hinders expansion of the stomach, so it's easier to eat a lot more when you're thin. Exercise and a naturally fast metabolism help, of course!

Which is, yes, [i]extremely[/i] unfair. :|

I wouldn't dismiss the possibility of it being true based on him supposedly being skinny. Eric was quite thin when we got married and could eat as much as two or three people. His metabolism has slowed with age now, so he's about at an average weight and eats about as much as one and a half or two people. They really do exist, as frustrating as it is for those of us with crappy metabolisms.

Considering it's called Dude Foods and it's about a guy eating... well, anything, I'd be willing to guess it's perfectly legit. Why do it? Because he's male, has a ridiculous metabolism, and he, y'know, can. I know a ton of guys who would do the same, given the opportunity. Sadly.

DudeFoods.com is real!
