stuff one's face

Devour food quickly

To stuff one's face is to eat greedily or in large quantities, often rapidly and without restraint: I spent the whole party stuffing my face at the buffet.

The phrase suggests indulgence or lack of refinement, sometimes self-deprecatingly: I'm just going to stuff my face and watch TV tonight.
