    Conti did not win in 2005, Oleg did, and did not show at the finals.

    He just competed for the free supply of hotdogs Nathan’s was providing at the time and the signed bat.

    Did any other men compete?

    June 20, 2016 @ 11:11 am

    Have no idea why MLE did not post the other totals . More than likely its irrelevant to them . Wild Bill ate 15 & Seiken ate 13 . So far those are the only totals not posted as of yet

    “I hate to see all these women qualify with single digit numbers and get trips to the finals (or at least get to compete with real eaters)”

    Charlene isn’t going. She didn’t make it

  15. .8 nathans hot dogs for $1? said

    June 20, 2016 @ 10:04 pm

    .8 Nathan’s for $1?

    So if I get 8 nathan’s hot dogs, that’s $10. Well that isn’t much of a deal now, is it Einstein?

  16. anonymous said

    June 20, 2016 @ 11:19 pm

    Carlene will be going with her husband. I wish she were on stage, but just having here there cheering is great. She and Rich are legends.

    Hey Rich if you and Carlene want to meet up at the Carnegie or Carmines for a snack the day before the contest (LOL) let me know

    Just want to say that regardless of all the bullshit that is written on this site , it was a pleasure getting back in the swing of things competing on stage Sunday. Because of my age and loads of ring rust its hard for me to compete with the youngsters but i gave it my best. Yasir is probably one of the nicest guys i have met in my 19yrs competing with MLE. Not only is he a good guy but a role model for the sport along with his dedication to staying fit and trim . Hopefully i can hang in there and put up quality numbers this year . At my age it’s a blessing to be able to wake up every morning

    I assumed that Carlene would join her husband. I do hope that she does.

    Yasir is nice and adds a lot of class to any event. He keeps getting better with his hard work and dedication really paying big dividends in the past couple of years.

    I think Rich and Carlene would much rather have a nice big steak at J&R’s with Jarvis and Goldstein than go to Carmine’s with some one who secretly bad mouths them.

    Jarvis & Goldstein i like that one both have been known to do the exact same

  25. anonymous said

    June 21, 2016 @ 3:41 pm

    340 is right if its a food challenge where both don’t have to pay

    Without revealing my identity i have dined out with 2 female eaters ranked in the top 10 on two separate occasions and just my luck they appeared to have little if any appetite on that particular day. You wouldn’t know they were competitive eaters the way they nibbled on the food . Was hoping they would put on a clinic at the restaurants but it wasn’t meant to be

    We need more like Yasir and less of the crap that used to be in MLE but still makes his home right here

    The food challenge at J&R Steakhouse (all locations) is now defunct.

    No one said anything about doing a challenge or show boating, just a nice reunion dinner. But I doubt it will happen.

    J&R makes good steaks . Watch Seiken tear into 2

    J&R’s challenge steak was a piece of crap. One of their cheap stake managers would stand over you like a gestappo soldier and watch if you were close to finishing. He can be seen in the steak challenge segment of Gutbusters. All the other cuts are pretty good.

    As far as Carlene comment on FB , it is a wonder the comment was seen by anyone. FB is a scam . When you post a comment your’e FB friends are supposed to see it. That is not how it works . Your comment has to wait its turn on the spinning wheel meaning that if you posted a comment and it became visible to your friends , you might have to wait a days or maybe as long as a week for your friends to view your next comment. Matter of time before they charge money to move up in line. Joke

    I agree with 7:11 In regard to the 76oz , unless it’s a publicity stunt for media or tv, you will be forced to deal with one of their sour puss managers who come equipped with a slide ruler that periodically walk by measuring the fat to beef ratio.They will not give you the benefit of the doubt . The sirloin or T-bone is your best bet but the prices have skyrocketed since the last time i ate there. T bone used to be $13.99 now its like $25 . For $10 i can buy the same cut of meat in supermarket broil it on the stove with JR sauce and it tastes almost the same
