scarfing down
Wolfing your food
Scarfing down is eating quickly and eagerly, often in large quantities: He scarfed down three slices of pizza before anyone else finished one.
The phrase suggests hungry, enthusiastic consumption without much attention to manners.
Sometimes shortened to just scarf: I scarfed a burger on my way to the meeting.
