The Fairfax Times has an article about Ian Hickman and his quest for a strawberry title.

Hickman said he first became interested in becoming a competitive eater after watching actor John Candy eat a huge steak in the movie “The Great Outdoors,” and later consumed his own 64-ounce porterhouse in a Lexington, Ky., steakhouse that offered the meal free to anyone who could finish it in less than 45 minutes. Hickman ate the steak – along with a side and a salad – in only 19 minutes.

“That’s when I knew I might have talent as a competitive eater,” he said.

AICE News reports that Ian Hickman set the AICE chili record today by eating 10 pounds and 2 ounces of chili in five minutes at the Chili Open in Canton, Ohio. The top 3:

2. Mark Lyle-The Human Vacuum- 8 lbs, 10 oz

Hickman’s 5 minute mark is .23 gallons off Rich Lefevre’s IFOCE chili record of 1.5 gallons in 10 minutes.

A video of the curry eating contest between Tomoko Miyake and Ian “the Invader” Hickman in higher definition than youtube videos is available. Some screen captures from the video are linked to the thumbnails above. The high definition enables viewers to determine than Ian is wearing a United Eaters of Pennsylvania hat.

AICE News reports that Tomoko Miyake defeated Ian Hickman by being the first to finish over 9 pounds of curry.

The blogs of Tomoko Miyake, Takuya Yamamoto and Saori Nakayama report that they recorded a television appearance today, but have no results or pictures of Americans.

The Washington Post Sports “Bog” has results from Sunday’s “Pros vs. Joes” pizza eating contest for charity:

Kedric Golston and his team of “Pros” won the celebrity pizza eating contest Sunday at Don Corleone’s. By one slice. Professional eater Ian “The Invader” Hickman carried the team of pros, downing 32 slices, according to enthusiastic Don Corleone’s owner Waleed R. Zarou.

But Golston held his own, putting away 14 slices of pizza in 10 minutes (remember, they were double-cut, so that means he ate about 87 percent of one pie).

A commenter thinks Hickman’s result must be an IFOCE record.

From AICE news Black & White Cookie Eating Championship

1. Ian “The Invader” Hickman 11.0 cookies
1. Dale Boone 11.0 banned from AICE contest following event

5. Joel “The Cannon” Podelsky 7.00
6. “Sweet” Jill Stoler 3.00

Joe Menchetti was present, but was prevented from competing by Boone’s objections.

There was also a tie in the Texas State Fair corny dog eating contest with Brent Ricord and Mike Wilkes with 12 corny dogs in 10 minutes. DallasNews has an article about the contest. Both first place finishers received the original prize amount.

From ConnectionNewspapers.com:

Don Corleone’s Brick Oven Pizzeria will hold a Pros vs. Joes Pizza Challenge Sunday, Sept. 30, at 2 p.m., at the restaurant, in Sterling, VA (Washington, DC area).

Waleed Zarou, owner of Don Corleone’s Brick Oven Pizzeria, is looking for average men, women and children to compete against three celebrity guests including World Boxing Council (WBC) champion Jimmy Lange, who was featured on NBC’s reality television show The Contender, Washington Redskins football player Kedric Golston and professional eater Ian Hickman, who was featured on MTV’s True Life: I’m a Competitive Eater.

“I’m hoping a lot of people will come out and challenge these guys,” Zarou said.

Tickets will be sold at the door for $5, and each ticket includes a slice of pizza and chance to compete against the professionals.

Proceeds will go to East Africa Missions.
