    Oh look, another highly ranked eater breaking contract…. surprise, surprise. That is unless he had previous permission from the Feds of course. When will we have fair treatment across the board? Probably not anytime soon from what I can see. So if he does not receive any kind of punishment from this then I think it is safe to say it is open season for all contracted eaters to do whatever they want with no fear or repercussions LET THE EATING COMMENCE!!

    It’s sad that grown men have to get permission to eat an omelet.

    Seiken has been doing challenges and advertising that he did them, and he was rewarded with a bump up in rankings and a series of podcasts. No suspension or contest wait listing for him, either

    The 12 Egg Omelet at Beth’s Cafe is not an eating challenge. They don’t even care if you eat it or not. There are no records, no rules, no requirements and certainly no attention paid to anyone finishing it. Whatever they showed on MvF was fabricated for the show as far as making it an eating challenge.

    Erik you are a highly intelligent person and i honestly thought you would have more brains than to respond to that moron. He was obviously messing with you

    Has Seiken been doing that? May his name be stricken from every competitive eating scriptures on this earth . So it shall be written so it shall be done. Wait a minute Seiken never completes his challenges .

    I agree Mega. That would be sad.

    But I can’t believe there would be anything wrong with any MLE eater going to IHOP, let’s say, and knocking back 30 pancakes in a given amount of time.

    Alluding to what Erik said, that wouldn’t really be a challenge, because they could care no less about who does what, as long as the person pays for food.

    The only sad part would be the risk of not being allowed back, since they lost money on the MLE customer already.

    If I really liked the food at a given establishment, I would want to avoid bringing attention to myself, however, and remain low key, so that I can return without being asked to leave.

    That’s an advantage of being little like Sonya, Juliet, Koby, or X.

    Actually, an MLE eater told me that eating loads of pancakes at IHOP would be unacceptable only if attention was brought onto oneself. No big whoop if it stays close to the vest.

    Last night at home, I had a six egg cheese omelet, 22 tootsie rolls, three packs of Dots, finished off two 1/2 full bags of Chex Mix snacks, ate a 1/2 gallon of vanilla ice cream with whipped cream and chocolate syrup, 14 popcorn chicken bites, approximately 3/4 gallon of lefover chicken broccoli, and ate all the crust off the pizza that my kids didn’t want. I did not ask for permission from MLE, and unfortunetly, aside from being called a “fat pig”, and a “garbage disposal” by my wife and kids, there was no trophy or prize.

    Maybe i am from the old school but in my day an egg omelet was only eaten in the morning for breakfast and the obsurd idea of adding burrtos , chilli or anything else to it would have been an outrage. Can you imagine growing up in the 1950’s or 60 watching Leave it to Beaver and asking your mom to make a chilli cheese omelet? Not only was it unheard of but disgusting. Maybe some of you should take a real good look before you mess with tradition. Do not eat an omelet after 11am and more importantly do not dress it with toppings of your desire . Have i made myself clear

    They are in their own small self contained world here Donna, don’t get dragged in! I remember a cartoon I saw once where a man shouts to his wife “I’m coming to bed in a minute, somebody on the internet is wrong and i’ve got to let them know”

    Donna, I feel it is our stomachs that need to be examined first. And, you spelled omlet wrong

    Also Donna it should be heads, plural, not head. Perhaps it is you that needs her head examined.
