Andy Reid once ate a 40-ounce steak in under 20 minutes
Andy Reid is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to eating steak.
In a feature published Tuesday by ESPN's David Fleming, Steve Mariucci shared an amusing anecdote about the Kansas City Chiefs head coach from their time together on Mike Holmgren's staff in Green Bay.
"Holmgren threw us in the same office, which was more like a closet. So yeah, you get to know someone really well. But it was fun," Mariucci said. "We started from the bottom like you're supposed to. We coached against each other in T-ball. And we ate. We ate, man.
"One night we were at the Prime Quarter and we both order a giant 40-ounce steak. This thing is huge. The girl comes out and tells us if we eat this thing in under an hour you get your picture on the wall and a chef's hat and all that. Andy finished his in 19 minutes. I ate mine in 30. Our picture is still on the wall there."

Reid's steak-eating prowess is well documented. In 2017, Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie shared a story about Reid ordering three steaks while they were out to dinner together - a fact Reid later denied, but was confirmed by the steakhouse's regional manager.
