There is one in Pontiac...or we could go to Novi if Blair wanted to make the trip.
As far as an eating contest, I must warn you that my record to date is 175 shrimp in one trip.

For some reason I thought that they served them roughly 8 at a time per dish? It's been a while since I've done it.

[edit] Nevermind on that '8' mention. I just saw the offerings and it appears to differ depending on what you get. I've participated in eating contests in the past. For that 175 shrimp, is there a time limit you achieved that within?

You start with two servings of 15ea then refills are single servings of 10-15 shrimp.
There wasn't really a time frame on the 175 but it was done during a "normal" dinner time frame of approx an hour I guess.
I typically do 135-150 per trip but that includes my baked potato and salad or cole slaw too.
I must admit though, my last couple trips have been less than stellar with only around 100-115 tails in front of me.

Maybe you should try cuddling up in that coop. Not that I'm calling you a chicken or anything. :P

Well, I lost count due to finishing some of the lightweights' plates while waiting for another refill.
That, and the server grabbed my "tail plate" halfway through dinner so I couldn't count up the casualties.
I plan on going again very soon.

Tony said he could eat 175 and I'd expect that you're good for 26.  ;) ;D

No I mean 200 each.  I know I  had a minimum of 10 plates/ servings&  there were 20 shrimp per Teriaky&  breaded plates.  But, I was mostly eating parmesan& breaded
Title: Re: YES!!!!!!!!!! It's Back!!!!!!!!
Post by: Super Turtleman on August 17, 2012, 09:34:18 PM
I had a decent amount, but no where near you guys. I ate a couple plates of shrimp linguini, about 5 plates of scampi, 1 bowl of parmesan, a bowl of Lobster Bisque, a few sodas. Left there stuffed. I wasn't properly prepared...I had a large breakfast. Lol.
Title: Re: YES!!!!!!!!!! It's Back!!!!!!!!
Post by: GrizzlysDad on August 17, 2012, 10:43:58 PM
It's funny...I mentioned to Jeff before dinner that I just wasn't "feeling it" for a good amount of shrimp.
Turns out, once I got started I was on a roll and if it wasn't for Jeff and Marty both being finished and looking like they were ready to go, I would have kept eating.
And usually, after an endless shrimp session, I am not in a hurry to go back for a good while.
Hell, I could have gone back today!!
I'm ready for round two anytime guys  :P

I'm not a huge shrimp person.  Now if you're talking crab legs, I can usually polish off between 2 and 3 pounds.

The place I really want to go to is the all you can eat Brazilian steakhouse at the Compuware building.  That one is a bit more pricey, but I've heard good things about it.

Post by: Marty on August 18, 2012, 11:38:45 AM
Yeah, the place is expensive.  It's like $45.00 per person not including drinks, but the waiters (dressed up as Gauchos - Brazilian cowboys) walk around with different types of meat on spits and cut it off and serve it to you at the table until you either burst or decide you've had enough.

Here's the link to their site:    http://www.texasdebrazil.com/

Now that sounds dangerous!!  I'm a red meat guy myself.   Love fish but usually if I am spending money to go out and eat, I am going for a big ole steak..... or prime rib.  In Ohio on a hunting trip I stopped at a place called Woody's and ordered a 38-42oz prime rib and it was awesome.  Couldn't finnish it that night but ate it cold in the woods the next day and the guys eating lunch meat were a bit jelous.

There's a place in Northville like that, but for lunch they have better pricing - $25 when I went IIRC. I went as a going away lunch for a colleague, otherwise I'd probably never spend that much on lunch! I was real impressed overall. My friends who went originally thought it was great, liked it while we were there, like it afterwards, then complained the next day it was too expensive for what they got ... IMO they spent too much time at the salad bar! For a meat-lover with an appetite it's definitely worth it!

So who else? Novi location most likely.

That would work if all participants felt they had a chance to "win". However, I wouldn't want it to discourage people for attending if that aren't as big eaters as the rest of us. I guess what I mean is, the fee can't be deemed "mandatory".

At the Lansing location, the shrimp were 10 per plate. I was sated at five plates.
I'm not usually the first person finished eating, but I would be with you guys.
Our waiter said they'd had a couple of people finish 300, last year.

I've got bad news for ya.  You barely broke 100.  The original 2 orders had 15 ea (30).  Tony / you / and I all had 8 refills of 10 ea (80).  Giving a total of 110.  However, I didn't eat most of my fried shrimp order and gave it to Tony.  Marty gave some to Tony.  And I didn't finish my last plate and gave it to you.  I ended up with right around 100.  Tony probably had 125ish.  And you probably had around 115.

I've had it before, but I don't think it's that good. I think a good portion of why it's so "good" is the hype resulting because of the cost! If given a plate with lobster, shrimp, and crayfish, I'd probably eat just as much lobster as shrimp, and more crayfish than either of those.  ;D

So I met Larry and his wife at Red Lobster today. It wasn't very crowded since we went just after 3pm and you'd think that was a good thing.
Well, our waitress seemed really bubbly and full of gusto....at first.
Our initial orders came out a little late but they were worth the wait...really great scampi to start!!!
After that things seemed to go downhill....slow service, slow refills, and they just didn't taste very good.
Hell, we didn't even break 100 shrimp but got tired of sitting there so long.
All-in-all it was not a pleasant experience this time around.
I think that particular location is off my list...."Larry, we have to meet at a different Red Lobster next time"

I'm not sure exactly what the conversion formula would be and I probably could have managed a few more if it really mattered, but tonight all-I-could-eat:
~60 breaded shrimp + 20 breaded clam strips

(It's hard to keep count when they come in baskets, so I tried to error low when keeping a tally instead of inflating the numbers. Numerous times I was eating shrimp and then had a "how many did I just eat?" moment and only counted what I could definitely recall.

So let's say 1 clam = 1.5 shrimp (though nearly all of the strips had the same width as a shrimp and were 4"+ long...

60 breaded shrimp + 1.5 shrimp/clam *20 breaded clams = 90 shrimps

... then somehow include a conversion factor for the thick breading as opposed the scampi / teriyaki / parmesan Red Lobster shrimps ....

I suspect it should put me somewhere well over 100 Red Lobster shrimps. The only thing I can confirm is I'm heading to bed early as a result of all of this.
