Dale Boone article in Times of India
The Times of India has an profile of Dale Boone, who is currently residing in India. The article contains claims that some readers might dispute:
Boone is the current world champion in competitive eating. Currently, he is based in Bangalore working for the WLOCE. When he enters the competition arena, he becomes the foul-mouthed `Mouth of the South’, a persona he has cultivated over the years, complete with a coonskin hat to celebrate his heritage, large overalls and a cow-bell in his hand.
Ask him his age and he only tells you that he is known in professional circles as the most eligible bachelor. “Revealing my age will lead to diminishing of my value as a competitor,” he says.
(From Anjou comment) WLOCE.com has been updated to annouce the contest held at the Corndogorama festival will be a WLOCE event.
