Eatfeats 2011 post-Nathan’s IFOCE poll choices
I will start an IFOCE poll sometime next week. A list of the current choices for the poll follows. People need to have at least one IFOCE contest in 2011 to be listed. Please let me know if you think someone should be added to the list.
The National Collegiate Competitive Eating Association has posted its first rankings listing Eric "Silo" Dahl as the top competitive eater in college. (People had to submit a "resume" to be considered for the rankings.)
The new poll asks what you think is the most notable no-show in competitive eating history. Thank you for your suggestions.

Next poll: most notable no-show in competitive eating history
The next poll will ask what you think is the most significant instance of a competitor missing a contest after announcing he or she would compete. Here are the current choices. Please add others you think should be added in the comments. (I am not considering an absence a no-show if it was announced before the contest or due to medical reasons.)
- Ian Hickman, does not compete in 2011 Madison Food Court contest after recording four commericials to promote contest.
- Grace Lee, misses the 2011 Newnan, GA Nathan’s qualifier after doing a radio appearance about competing the week before. (There is still no mention of the absence on her facebook. )
- Brad Sciullo, skips the 2011 Wing Bowl after qualifying for it.
- Brad Sciullo, does not appear at the 2010 Pizza Slaughter Fest after doing a news video about the contest.
