“Notorious” Bob Shoudt offers the Des Moines Register some of his competitive eating tips:

When you get to the contest (or the counter at B&B Deli), be confident and act like you know what you’re doing. Move your cups and plates around (in eating contests, there are usually a few cups of water for each competitor, and a couple of plates of food), and eat your food out of order. For example, if you and a friend are racing through the Combine at the Machine Shed, don’t eat the tenderloin, then the medallions, then the sausage. Work your way through all three at the same time, so your opponent can’t figure out exactly how much you’ve eaten. “Give as much misinformation as you can,” Shoudt said.

Apparently pro wrestler Ric Flair’s adage, “to be the man, you gotta beat the man”, does not apply to IFOCE rankings. “Notorious” Bob Shoudt was moved ahead of Takeru Kobayashi in the latest top 50 despite never having defeated him in nine previous contests, which are listed after the jump.
