Erik Denmark’s top 10 on missing the Krystal finals
Erik Denmark has a blog entry about the Memphis Krystal qualifier which concludes with his top 10 benefits of missing the Krystal Square Off finals. His final 3 items in the list:
3 – Not having to convince my friends and family to get in their car and drive 60 miles to the nearest bar that carries FSN South to watch me for a split second while the camera pans to the middle of the table
2 – Avoid the depressing realization that I won’t get the final burger count because I have to sprint off the stage and straight to the airport to catch the last flight back to Seattle because it is Sunday and I have to work tomorrow
1 – I still have a chance to win a contest and a title in Lewisville on Saturday!
Memphis qualifier expected entrants
The Krystal Square Off blog has a preview of today’s qualifier in Memphis. Listed ranked entrants include Rich LeFevre, Crazy Legs Conti, Juris Shibayama, Erik Denmark and Chris Abatsas, Damon Serignet. Juris Shibayama’s competing in a second qualifier will give him the tiebreaker over Badlands Booker regardless of how much he eats.
Sonya Thomas will get in unless the top four breaks 55. Booker will have to hope that the runner-up does not exceed his total of 51.
Erik Denmark has blog entries about last weekend’s jalapeno contest and Krystal qualifier in Memphis. He has the following account of the Krystal overtime in Memphis:
In the 10 burger overtime eat-off, Rich Shea announced clearly to keep the eating clean – Juliet did not, she continued to stuff multiple burgers in and around her mouth getting about half of them in and half of them on the table and ground. She raised her hands in the air when her 10 burgers were out of the boxes, the crowd booed and the judges told her to eat the mess she had made. She continued to sweep up the sloppy burgers from the table and with every sweep of burger mess in to her mouth she raised her hands again looking for victory and the crowd booed louder. This continued for about the next 60 seconds, the crowd was now hoping that either Badlands or Juris would get through their 10 burgers before Juliet was done cleaning her mess.
But it didn’t happen, Juliet finally ate enough of what she had spilled to get the decision. Not a popular decision at all.
Erik Denmark also says that Kobayashi’s bye slot in the Krystal finals will be filled by an amateur pulled from the crowd and not a fourth wild card entrant.

Erik Denmark reviews MLE video game
Erik Denmark has posted a review of the Major League Eating video game to his blog. He is satisfied with his character’s appearance in the game:
My character has a fun look. My hair is super spiked; the bandana is obviously a signature of mine that I am glad they captured well. I like that my character is recognizable as me, in that the features do somehow look like mine (so I have been told) but also, some features are exaggerated, such as my elongated chin in the pre-match screen. I would obviously like my character to have more muscle mass and more capacity but okay reality gets in the way again.
