    Congrats B.O.B.!!! Go Philly!!! I’m very curious about Bertoletti however. He had a NEW dunking fluid at the table that was a clear amber color. Why not the traditional Red or Purple and do you thinking this new Bev hurt or helped you?

    Bertoletti needs to stick to local contests. Next week there’s a pie eatin contest with the kiddies a few houses down from me that he could probably win.

    Results are entered; Flash actually ate six pounds, not five.

    Pat sure has been involved in some close contests lately. Congratulations Notorious BOB!

    Flash Gordon is coming on strong. Had he been around before the current cast of top eaters he would easily be in the IFOCE top three or four.

    Joey I think you have the edge on Pat right now … even in pizza. Because Pat wins and loses in streaks. You have the momentum right now. Pat’s going in reverse.

    Had he been around 10 years ago, sure. But who wouldn’t have been? There’s a million guys you could say the same thing about.

    Yeah, I’m really happy to see Flash doing so well. He and I crossed paths over the years at smaller events throughout Pennsylvania and I always knew he’d do great things once he officially joined the IFOCE ranks.

    I disagree. I’m talking earlier in THIS decade, when the top U.S. eaters were Cookie, Badlands, and Godfather. They were darn good—-the best in their day—-but the next (current) generation of eaters took CE to new heights.

    This decade is 10 years old! You’re basically talking about 10 years ago. Hardy has been retired for five years and hasn’t been in the top 4 for more than 8 years.

    Really glad to meet Laurel Marie this weekend. Class Act Competitor and ate a CLEAN game! Awesome Hair. I hope you stick around!

    Bertoletti, what was in the jug?

    Laurel is awesome, she is enthusiastic about the sport and I think the first woman who can give Sonya & Juliet a run for their money, not to mention some of the guys she has already defeated (including myself)

    I did awful in this contest, hope to have a better showing at Nathan’s later this month

    Andrew,

    I think a lot of people are enthusiastic about the sport once they first get into it, but she has a long way to go before you can mention her in the same breath as Juliet, let alone Sonya.

    Having another legit female competitor (who isn’t too terrible on the eyes btw) in the sport weather if she’s mid level or not, I’m sure is good for the Shea’s business. I wish her the best but there aren’t many females who can hang with the upper level competition, hell there aren’t many men who can for that matter. If you aren’t a natural freak out of the gate like Joey or Monson then it requires a ton of hard work and dedication to get to the next tier of eaters, and some don’t even get there.

    Best of luck Laurel, I’ll be rooting for ya!

    Yep, she is probably already the best female eater. She has the other two running scared.

    Ypu just cant help but fall in love with her. She just adds so much to the sport in such a short period of time

    Why isn’t she on the Wall of fame? She’s sexy. Everybody knows she will dethrone the other two by next year. I bet she can eat over 40 dogs now and she will certainly win one of the remaining qualifiers if given a slot. Save yourself some time Nathan’s and put her on the wall now.

    Clearly competitive eating needs more women in the ranks at all eating levels. Right now we just have Sonya, Juliet and Bertoletti.

    To say i was shocked would be considered an understatement. Removing the images of Booker Jarvis & Lerman with some of the names mentioned is comparable to Mt rushmore replacing Lincoln, Roosevelt and Washington with Frederick Douglas Andrew Johnson & Richard Nixon. What kind of crap is this? I’m not even on the damn wall which i should be and im Maad as HELLL. I can understand removing Amos Wengler who doesnt hold a candle to my songwriting ability or Kid Cary who besmirched whatever legacy he created by aligning himself with Arnie Chapman and the copycats during the final days of his eating career , but to remove images of the great pillars of the sport is just downright unjust and cold. Cookie Jarvis as arrogant as he might have been was like the Babe Ruth of the sport with 31 titles . Ed animal Krachie nicknamed the Mickey Mantle of sport torn down like they never existed. Charles Hardy who put his life on the line after 911 wearing an oxygen mask doing volunteer work at the WTC site searching for remains of dead bodies so familes of the victims could have some closure.Not to mention his close call with the Terminator who jumped the gun in the 1999 Nathans finals which nearly triggered off a rematch on Labor Day of that year. Don Moses Lerman who pioneered the sport while holding numerous titles in matzah balls , hot dogs burgers baked beans and jalapenos Badlands booker , legendary rapper , performer chicken wing , matzah ball and hot dog champ . Krazy Kev Pickle eating champ 8 time finalist in Nathans . Shall i go on ? This is the thanks they get. This has to be the worst moment in NY sports history since they torn down the old Yankee Stadium in 1973 and Ebbets Field in 1958. A disgrace do you hear me A DISGRACE. I am placing a call to borough prez Marty Markowitz demanding that he reverse this ridiculous decision

    O wow!!! Thx so much all – I really appreciate your kind comments. Haha Steakbellie – glad u like the hair and thx for the compliment. Also appreciate your comment, Andrew! As far as me ever being on the same level as Sonya and Juliet, seems like a dream right now but sometimes dreams do come true 🙂 I am in awe of those 2 ladies and think they’re incredible icons in MLE; I watch their contest video footage over and over and am in disbelief every time, WOW!!! Harry Seaward – lolllll be kind 🙂 Over 40 HDBs??? Hmmmmm, I’ll be happy to get to 20 at this stage but appreciate the vote of confidence!! “At the Very Least She’ll Be Good For the Sport” – thx!! I’ll take all the cheering I can get!!! And various Anonymous posts – hahahaha – u guys are so funny, ya’ll brought a smile to my face for sure. I’m having a blast doing this and as long as I’m enjoying what I’m doing, I’ll plan to continue!

    You can start by spelling her name right. Its Larell not Laurel

    Anon 635 🙂 With a name like “Larell Marie” I’ve seen every variation of spelling you can imagine; and probably some that u can’t haha. Its such a tongue-twister name that as I’ve gotten older I’ve just accepted the mispronunciations/misspellings and actually find myself turning around any time I hear a name that even begins w/an “L” lolllll

    Good work bob, that was a dogfight that went down to the wire. And in response to steakbellie, my liquid of choice is a new concoction i’m working on for coney

    The new concoction is made up of battery acid, Everclear alcohol & Rick the Manager’s sweat. While mixing it together, Pat wears a superman cape and repeats to himself “I think I can, I think I can.”

    Pat, bring extra secret sauce for Charlotte Nathan’s ( and mix in some Geritol in my share)….I need all the help I can get

  28. Harry Seaward said

    June 4, 2010 @ 9:35 am

    I’ll bet the secret concoction is just Steakbellie’s piss jug that Bert stole off the front lawn. Should probably burn the excess alcohol off the top of that mixture if it really came from SB’s kidneys. I heard he likes to top-kill a 30 pak before giving Kong the Eiffel Tower.
