Juris Shibayama profiled in DNJ.com
DNJ.com has an article about Juris “Dr. Big Time” Shibayama, who will compete in the Nashville Krystal qualifier.
Last year, he ate 33 burgers. On Sunday, the surgeon is shooting for 40 burgers in eight minutes.
The strategy, Shibayama says, is to chew as little as possible: “Big bites.”
His mother isn’t as excited about the new competitive hobby than his friends.
“She just doesn’t think it is very healthy,” Shibayama said. “Everyone else thinks its pretty cool though, and if I get on ESPN, they’re going to love it.”

I hope the good Dr. makes his goal of 40. I like his enthusiasm.

It looks like Nashville is going to be loaded… with Juris, Humble Bob, and Gentleman Joe according to the Krystal site.

Your mother should be happy! At least you’ve got the doctor thing to fall back on if the competitive eating doesn’t work out. Have you ever considered hot wings?
Good luck!!!
