2013 Miami Nathan’s qualifier

Results – men
1) Yasir Salem 26
2) Brian Duzinski 23 (takes wild card lead (if one is to be awarded))
3) Mike Katz 17.5
4) Juan Angel 13.5

women
1) Mary Bowers 10.5

This is the first southeast Florida Nathan’s qualifier since a 2007 contest held at the Florida Panthers arena. In 1997, Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Theresa LePore, famous for creating the “butterfly ballot” used in the 2000 presidential election, would serve as a judge for the Boca Raton Nathan’s qualifier in 1997.

Mary Bowers’ seatmate tweeted: “The lady i sat next to on the plane was flying from LA to Miami to compete in a hot dog eating contest… #goodlord”. Mary appeared on 10local news this morning

Golden Lady Wallace declined an invitation to compete, so apparently spots are still available.

    Fair play to all who took part. We have a write-up included as part of a wider aticle that also includes the Rouses Crawfish Eating World Championship and Thursday’s Hooter’s qualifier.

    Here’s the link (apologies because I also posted it in the crawfish thread): http://www.therakeandherald.tv/society/societystory.php?id=217

    Also, if you’re interested, here’s an interview with Matt ‘Megatoad’ Stonie in which he talks about Nathan’s: http://www.therakeandherald.tv/society/societystory.php?id=213

    There will only be a wildcard spot if Crazy Legs Conti is in danger of not qualifying, and from the looks of the number of qualifiers left and who still needs to qualify.. Looks pretty obvious.

    Here is how the woman division could play out this year.
    1. Queen Sudo will easily qualify.
    2. She will eat 50 dogs & buns to become the new woman champ.
    3. Sonya will retire on the spot.
    4. Sudo will pull a Torres and eat where she wants.
    5. Sudo will be ejected from the major leagues and threatened with a law suit.
    6. Juliet Lee will then be marketed by M.L.E. as the world’s number one woman eater.

    I know for a fact that when Miki signs with the MLE she will not pull a Torres, watch out world this chick is going to taqke the main stage at every contest she enters.

    Good luck to Miki in Vegas. Somehow, I don’t think anyone will be running scared from anyone else.

    That’s a real interesting point, OJ. Something for Miki to consider, for sure.

    why doesnt she donate some of that money to charitable cause?

  20. Ummm... said

    April 17, 2013 @ 4:25 pm

    Because she can do whatever she wants to do.

    The sentence below is difficult to read; and once understood, is pointless, as there are few women in MLE to start with, and Miki still comes in behind Sonya and Juliet anyway:

    “Miki has won more money in 2013 than all MLE women except Sonya and Juliet since the start of 2012.”

    I think it is safe to assume that after watching this video Brian Dudlight has gone off the deep end following a failed marriage , He is on a mission to gain over 100 lbs
