La. men say restaurant banned them because they ate too much

Midday update-Associated Press

HOUMA, La. - A 265-pound man says a restaurant overcharged him for his trips to the buffet, then banned him and a relative because of how much they consumed during their visits.

Ricky Labit, a 6-foot-3 disabled offshore worker, said he had been a regular at the Manchuria Restaurant, eating there as often as three times a week. But on his most recent visit, he said a waitress gave him and his wife's cousin, Michael Borrelli, a bill for $46.40, roughly double the buffet price for two adults.

"She says, 'Y'all fat, and y'all eat too much,'" Labit said.

Labit and Borrelli said they felt discriminated against because of their size.

"I was stunned, that somebody would say something like that. I ain't that fat, I only weigh 277," Borrelli said.

Accountant Thomas Campo, who spoke for the restaurant because the owner's English is limited, said the men were charged an extra $10 each on Dec. 21 because they made a habit of dining exclusively on the more expensive seafood dishes, including crab legs and frog legs.

"We have a lot of big people there," Campo said. "We don't discriminate."

The argument over the bill grew heated, and police were called. The police report states that the disagreement was settled when the restaurant said the bill was a mistake and, to appease Labit, the meal was complimentary.

Labit said he insisted on paying but was told not to come back. He complained that when seafood on the buffet line runs out, the restaurant only grudgingly cooks more. Campo said the proprietress tries to reduce waste of quality food.

More proof that bigger is better... from the ladies

XL underwear smothers fire

LONDON, England (AP) -- From baggy briefs to the ultimate hotpants: A British woman's underwear saved the day by doubling as an emergency fire blanket when her kitchen caught fire.

John Marsey and his cousin Darren Lines were frying bread in Jenny Marsey's kitchen in Hartlepool, northeast England, on Sunday when their meal caught fire.

Lines grabbed the nearest thing from a pile of laundry to put it out: his aunt's billowing, powder blue, size XL underpants.

He ran them under the faucet and tossed them onto the flames, successfully smothering the fire, a spokesman for the Cleveland Fire Brigade said, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with department policy.

Lines' swift thinking saved the kitchen -- but left his aunt's underwear slightly scorched.

"It could have been a lot worse," she said. "My family could have been in hospital but the knickers saved the day. I'm just grateful to the boys."

The fire official said the general principle of using a large, wet cloth to cover a grease fire was a sound one.

As for using underwear: "Clearly it depends on what size you are -- but I don't want to go there."

Fat guy

Hello everyone its bruce......I have succesfully been adopted into the fat guy club. I guess that in order to go to church with Justin I have to be one of the fat guys. Not that I am complaining or anything I really do enjoy eating but I would also like to stay in shape..........kinda. I already had one fat guy experience just before christmas I was at a christmas dinner and I ate so much that I actually had to loosen my belt a notch. Maybe I can have the best of both worlds for a long time and just eat as much as I want to be a member of the fat guys and then run the calories off. ha ha not. I guess I should just accept my fate as being one of the fat guys. Right now I am somewere around 165 pounds and my goal is to stay right around 175 pounds.

Thanksgiving repork

Hey! Greetings from baconland! Gerrett here, I am at an all time high of 156!!! Justin took me out last week and bought me some size up pants. In true fat guy style my waist is now bigger around than my inseam! I'm now a bigger man for Jesus than I used to be. So when Justin and I went out to eat this morning he challenged me to finish everything on my plate. I'm happy to say I did and even did so before Justin finished his! FAT POWERS ACTIVATE!!! Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving I know I did. I going to have have to stop right here and apologize to all my big boned brothers because I only ate one plate at Thanksgiving. I know, I know and I'm sorry I've let you all down and I plan to do better in the future I promise. Well I got to go and get ready for lunch here I'll keep you all posted on the big gains. Until next time MAY THE PORK BE WITH YOU !!!

mudflap dude...

One of my coworkers sent me this picture today and it's so awesome that I'm going to have to make a new fatguy blog template based on it. In my "spare time" that is. I wanted you all to enjoy it in the meantime! From http://www.stickergiant.com/page/sg/PROD/funcon/b5059

week 2

Hey, it's the Baconator again!! Got some juicy news weighin' in at 150!! Starting to get a belly which I've never had in my life. So that's exciting and up-lifting! My wife, Marcie is pregnant, so now we're racing to see who will gain what!!! On Sunday I cooked up a pound and a half of bacon and ate it for a snack. Is there an animal better tasting than pig if there is I've never had it. Well there's a Thanksgiving dinner at the church with my name on it so I got to cut this short. So until the cows come home and taste like bacon, this is Gerrett signing off!!!

Pic of Gerett

here is a recent photo of gerrett. he recently told me he now weighs 150. that is roughly a 15 pound gain...he is well on his way and we here at the fat guy club are very proud of him!!!

Hmmm....bacon is there anything better? Hi my name is Gerrett and I'm a new "fat guy" in the making. I've been obsessed with bacon for a while and now with my new found unemployment I am finally able to take that love to a whole new level. I realise that weighing in at 142 does not make me by any means a heavy man, but I'm ready to go the distance. For years I've been a fat guy trapped in a little man's body, but with help from Justin and the Baconator my inner corpulence will shine. My goal is to gain for Jesus 40 lbs. As of now I have grown out of my 30-30 pants and now my 32-30's are uncomfortable. Praise Jesus!!!! I love eating new animals and I'm not big into sweets so if anybody has any new recipes for big gains let me know. So until next time my your bacon never burn.( unles you like it that way!!) --Gerrett

Pa. Restaurant Creates 123-Pound Burger, Central Pa. Restaurant Weighs in With Whopping 123-Pound Burger for $379 - CBS News

CLEARFIELD, Pa., Feb. 27, 2007

---

(AP) The newest addition to the menu at Denny's Beer Barrel Pub is one whopper of a burger. The Beer Barrel Main Event Charity Burger weighs in at 123 pounds, a meaty monstrosity that its cooks maintain shatters the world record of 105 pounds shared by two restaurants in New Jersey and Thailand.

The sizable sandwich features an 80-pound beef patty, along with a pound each of lettuce, ketchup, relish, mustard and mayonnaise, 160 slices of cheese, up to five onions and 12 tomatoes.

It's topped with a couple of pounds of banana peppers, then sandwiched into a 30-pound bun. Don't forget the garnish of 33 pickles.

There's a pretty hefty price tag, too: $379.

The Clearfield pub unveiled the menu item over the weekend. Restaurant owner Denny Leigey said he plans to submit paperwork on his colossal culinary creation to the Guinness Book of World Records.

It's not the first time that Leigey has waded into the competition for the world's biggest burger. He drew headlines a couple years ago when he unveiled the Beer Barrel Belly Buster, which weighed in at a mere 15 pounds.

Leigey said he didn't know how many calories were stuffed into his latest gigantic entree.

"If you were worried about calories you would be at home eating Kellogg's," he said.

Beer Belly Protects Man During Car Wreck

Thursday, February 08, 2007

An oversized belly did a lucky milkman one big favor.

When a hijacker jumped into his milk delivery van, Andrew Creed chased after it and grabbed on to an open window, the U.K. Sun reported. But Creed lost his grip when the thief started zig-zagging to shake him loose, and he got thrown under.

Creed got banged up to the tune of two broken fingers, cuts to his head and tire marks on his legs and stomach.

But Creed was able to see the bright side:

“I reckon my beer belly saved me from being hurt a lot worse,” he said.

The thief fled after abandoning the vehicle.

Coffee with that donut?

Finally, a scientist with FatGuys'interests at heart! My question is... how would you wash it down if the coffee's already in there?

Scientist Develops Caffeinated Doughnuts
Scientist Develops Caffeinated Doughnuts; Each Is Equivalent to 2 Cups of Coffee

DURHAM. N.C. Jan 26, 2007 (AP)— That cup of coffee just not getting it done anymore? How about a Buzz Donut or a Buzzed Bagel? That's what Doctor Robert Bohannon, a Durham, North Carolina, molecular scientist, has come up with. Bohannon says he's developed a way to add caffeine to baked goods, without the bitter taste of caffeine. Each piece of pastry is the equivalent of about two cups of coffee.

While the product is not on the market yet, Bohannon has approached some heavyweight companies, including Krispy Kreme, Dunkin' Donuts and Starbucks about carrying it.
