Tenth anniversary of The Glutton Bowl

Today is the tenth anniversary of The Glutton Bowl, which was televised on Fox on February 21, 2002

Of the 34 competitors, I think only 4 (Takeru Kobayashi, Eric “Badlands” Booker, “Gentleman” Joe Menchetti and Jed Donahue) remain currently active in competitive eating. Three others (Don Lerman, Bill “El Wingador” Simmons and Lester Tucker) have competed recently but announced retirement.

    I have the glutton bowl on my hard drive, I could probably make that available in its entirety!

    I always wondered what happened to Chris “the crusher” Eyre… evidently was crushing his wife!

    Also, Sonny Sabatino Manzi… or something like that… evidently he’s a good used car salesman? 🙂

    Lets appreciate that beautful Brian Seiken has since moved up from a ranking of #65 to #40. Keep up the hard work pal.

    914 he was ranked as high as 24 in 2004. It’s been downhill ever since

    Brian Seiken was originally invited to the Glutton Bowl but because he didn’t “LIE” about his stats as an eater to the FOX network unlike some other eaters did , his spot was given to someone else.

    FOX decided to go with potential stars like Garbage Gut Glum, Robert Wilber Field, and Andrew “Ace” Goldstein.

    Seiken would have really sold the show.

    joe, I’ll have to try to find it again, it’s on some old hard drive, and if I can find it, i’ll upload it somewhere free for everyone.
