Donald Trump & competitive eating chronology
A timeline listing the intersection of the worlds of competitive eating and the 2016 Republican presidential candidate follows:
- 1966 Fred Trump, father of Donald, has the Steeplechase demolished. The Coney Island amusement park had earlier rejected a purchase offer from the Handwerker family, founders of Nathan’s Famous.
- 2005 Sports Illustrated has a blurb
about filmmaker Michael Tollin’s plans for a fictional movie based on
Bill “El Wingador” Simmon that did not come to fruition. Tollin would
later make a documentary about the USFL spring football league in which Donald Trump was cast as the villain. - 2005-2007 The Trump Marina in Atlantic City holds a wing eating contest for females only during Super Bowl weekend.

- Feb 2016 Donald Trump visits Chez Vachon in Machester, NH for a campaign stop. A picture of him in front of the “Wall of Fame” for the restaurant’s poutine challenge would receive a lot of publicity. Hillary and Bill Clinton would also visit the location.

- Aug 2016 Howard Lorber, chairman of Nathan’s Famous, is announced as a member of Donald Trump’s economic policy team. Lorber received a $25 million payment in 2015 after a special dividend was issued to Nathan’s stockholders.
