Just to give you some insight, your design is better then the rest, the only thing lacking I think is maybe the character tying in with the amusing fat boy theme, I can see where your going with it by making him hip, & I definitely love the beer & steak. I love the emblem style. I think a mix of 24 & 28 would be nice & maybe change the character up a little.
I think I like #30. I appreciate you trying to change the character but the other ones do not work. Let's focus on some details of #30. let's try to get a big smile and see how that looks. same character just let's change a couple things up to see what might look a little better. Maybe a little more detail in the steak, not intricate just maybe like a T-Bone or something more obviously a steak. maybe make the character a chef or bartender rather than a customer
