Man uses pasta pass to consume 95 Olive Garden meals in 6 weeks

James Dator
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Does this classify as competitive eating? What about extreme couponing? Eating over $1,500 worth of Olive Garden meals in less than two months is either the most impressive or ghoulish thing we’ve seen.

Assuming North Carolina native Alan Martin ate the lowest calorie bowl of pasta on the menu (which he definitely didn’t) and he ate ZERO breadsticks or salad (which is an impossibility) then he’s eaten 71,250 calories so far, or 1,700 per day of just pasta.
