Pastore held the official record for completing the 72-ounce steak meal challenge at The Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo, Texas, having eaten the entire meal in 9½ minutes in May 1987 (this was his 7th successful completion of the feat) until March 24, 2008, when competitive eating champion, Joey Chestnut, finished the meal challenge in 8 minutes 52 seconds. Pastore congratulated Chestnut on air shortly afterward. His record was featured on The Travel Channel's show Steak Paradise.
