Yes, Shirota beat Kobayashi, but he didn’t have the staying power and Kobayashi improved. I believe that Shirota became a television personality, like Gal Sone, then retired to run the family restaurant. Oh, if only Kobayashi would learn English quickly so that he could be asked questions and have responses like Sonya does on her website.

I can certainly understand you listing Shirota, given his victories over Koby in Japan earlier in the decade, but it’s as Rona alluded to, that was ancient history, and Koby has become a CE … well … Tsunami. Six-time Nathan’s champ and four-time (and current) Krystal champ.
That about says it all.
Would it be stretching it too much to ask for a female competitive eater of the decade poll: Akasaka, The Witch, The Gal, Carlene, Elizabeth, Juliet, and Sonya? I realize there are too few eaters to have a best female eater each year, but I think there are enough entrants for a female of the decade category.
Also, what about greatest Rookie of the Year this decade?

How about a “Top Eating Performance” poll for 2009 and for the decade? (The best/most memorable performances.)
Mega Munch said
December 8, 2009 @ 1:08 pm
The Competitive Eater of the Decade poll seems kind of limited in its choices. Yes, Joey and Koby are probably the two BEST eaters of the decade in terms of eating ability, but does that mean they’re the “Eater of the Decade”? What are the criteria for Eater of the Decade? Physical ability is definitely a main criteria, but there are other factors in there too. Sonya deserves consideration for breaking down barriers for women, Badlands deserves consideration for being among the top personalities of the sport for so many years…
Either way though, I’d have to say Koby is the eater of the decade. He put competitive eating on the map and although he’s no longer #1, in his prime he was miles ahead of the competition and untouchable for several years. He reign of dominance will likely never be matched again.

Whoever you are, you are no angel. To borrow a line, I think I know who you are. Nathan’s after parties are closed to the press, are celebrations. You are no friend, just a troublemaker interfering in the worst possible way in people’s personal lives. You are probably the same person who caused trouble for Dr. Bigtime who is now no longer in competitive eating. If you received your so called information from an eater, he is no friend either. One or both of you, go to your room.

How about most incredible eating performance of the decade?
While Koby “only” ate 50 HDBs in 2001, that represented a 100 % increase over the previous world record.
Sonya did the same thing in oysters when she ate 36 dozen in 2005, doubling Boyd Bulot’s 18-dozen record-setting performance the year before.
Several other performances are worth consideration, but those two put things in perspective for me.

I really miss Dr. Bigtime’s presence. He was not only one of the best personalities in CE, he could have brought much needed appeal for CE to the white collar sector of American society, and like Koby, he was the picture of health, not to mention the fact that he was about to move into the IFOCE top 10.
He was a walking, talking, well respected advertisement for CE —- very much unlike one or two of those who think that longevity in, or some personalized attachment to, CE automatically makes them some sort of legend.
Commanded respect is not earned respect —- a point worth remembering and acting upon!

Agree Rhonda. Koby’s 50 is definitely up there as one of the most incredible performances ever (dare I say, in ANY sport). Doubling the previous record?! C’mon….that’s just awesome. Another performance that deserves recognition is Joey Chestnut drinking a gallon of milk in 41 seconds for his Wing Bowl stunt. Simply incredible and I wouldn’t have believed it if not for the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxoVPrXEebY
And, assuming it’s legit, Brad Scullio eating the Denny’s 15 pounder in 4-and-a-half hours is one of the best eat feats EVER. Hell, even if he pull the trigger a few times during bathroom breaks, it’s still an amazing feat.

Sonya fan said
December 9, 2009 @ 12:24 pm
Rhonda, as a Sonya fan, Sonya’s Oyster performance in the 2000s was pretty cool. It was either that year or the year or so after, that ACME asked if she wanted to break the all time, non-timed ACME record after a 10 minute competition which she did in a couple of minutes. Previously, the record was an hour or so. She said she just stopped eating because she said she was bored. After her 10 minute record was eatablished the sponsors changed the event to 8 an minute contest.
The other noteworthy event of Sonya’s this decade was hard boiled eggs at a rock concert. At the time the record for 10 minutes was something like 38 eggs. So the event supervisors bought about 64 eggs. She at all the eggs in 6:40 seconds and the crowd went nuts. The only time I can recall a sponsor ran out of the food. On a side note, not many people know that in the first minute of that contest her throat tightened up and she couldn’t eat.
Sonya’s had a few memorable moments in the 2000s. But she’ll admit she can’t hold a candle to Koby. And, because she is so in awe of Koby as an eater, she’s really proud of her fruitcake record. He said eating Fruitcake was one of the hardest things he ever ate, he told her it was so dry! It’s the only thing that Sonya ate that Koby couldn’t beat her record.
Let’s face it, with 64 wins and 120 contests, Sonya sure has helped make the 2000s a fun decade for CE. I don’t think anybody has competed that much with that kind of record in any decade.

December 9, 2009 @ 12:53 pm
Mega in 2001 the counters’ numbers only went up to 30 (or perhaps 35) and Koby’s scorer had to quickly improvise and begin writing the numbers by hand at that point.
Crazy Legs, in the article he wrote for Topic Magazine, entitled, “Stuff Your Face,” put everything in perspective (see below):
“Suffice it to say, I arrived at Coney Island in 2001 a serious and studied fan. Also, as a man who weighs less than 400 pounds, I had a vested interest in seeing how the Belt of Fat Theory held up. I asked “Badlands” Booker how he trained. He told me that the winner of each Nathan’s regional contest receives 600 hotdogs. “You ate them all, didn’t you?” I asked. He just smiled and rubbed his belly.
On the other end of the weight spectrum, a 135-pound Takeru Kobayashi stood at the competitors’ table. The clock struck noon, and twelve minutes and one burp later, this unassuming kid had eaten 50 hot dogs and buns. That’s right, 50, five-zero. Kobayashi doubled the world record and was immediately dubbed “The Tsunami.” If I wasn’t there myself, I would not have believed it. I was there, and I still had trouble believing it. I ran over to George Shea and asked if he ever thought anyone could eat 50. Dazed, George replied, ‘When I woke up this morning I thought 30, maybe the 30-dog barrier would be broken, but 50, no way.’”
A few feet away, Gersh Kuntzman of the New York Post (the first journalist to cover competitive eating seriously) was yelling into his phone, “I don’t care if you’re the editor, this is the cover story!” And on that day, after years of obscurity and a sideshow-like existence, professional eating entered the mainstream.”

I vote Dale in as the decade’s best CE bullshitter, hands down. That’s his game, BEFORE the contest begins. Once the eating starts his game’s over.
Even so, I think he’s one-of-a-kind, and there’s always a place for him in the world of CE.
Happy Holidays Dale … sincerely!

Good Morning Eatfeats. From Tag Team Rhonda and Rona, Rona says…..
I have been appalled at some of the behavior and character or lack thereof exhibited by certain postings on eatfeats. I love competitive eating and try to share my enthusiasm with others. The attention seeking postings made eatfeats not a fun place for recreation for me, and surely there are others that have felt the same way.
I believe, as someone posted here recently, the obvious. If you have a problem with someone, take it directly to that person or organization. I did so and expressed my opinion privately via e-mail. I thought I did so very kindly, but the results were negative. I was asked to not contact again unless I had something positive to say about said website and editorial opinions. I have respected and will respect that request.
I believe that usually the best response to a bully is to ignore them. Indifference is the insult they do not want. In this particular case, I simply cannot understand how a person expects to be rewarded by the IFOCE by participating in events at the same time that they bring nothing but dissension and disrespect to other eaters and the IFOCE in what is written about them. I have not recently nor will my carefully tracked IP address show that I have visited said writings. I would rather not know what is being written. I believe that I have fully supported said website and person in the past even if I disagreed with many of the things written. I can no longer do so. Life is not to be lived in negativity.
I should add that while I enthusiastically cheer for eaters and fans, I try to make sure not to get entangled in anything which involves my favorite son and refrain from any posting on those “threads”. Of course I love “my boy”, but he speaks for himself and doesn’t need his Mother as bodyguardess.
And yes, Sonya remains my favorite competitive eater.

I also agree with Rona and Rhonda. Rona is 100% correct that “attention seeking postings made Eatfeats not a fun place for recreation.” That’s one of several reasons my visits to this blog have become fewer and farther between. My desire to comment about most of this drivel has pretty much evaporated.
Unfortunately, this reflects much of what has decreased my overall interest in CE as a fan. I can’t help but wonder to what degree has this similarly affected other “non-hardcore” fans. Honestly, if you can post anonymously, then I suppose you should compete that way, and your fans can support you in the same manner. I can’t rationally fathom why it should be necessary (or even mildly interesting) to have an “abuse room” thread on a CE website. It’s a damn unfortunate commentary on this site’s participants, and in my opinion, competitive eating, that the thread has so many people willing to jump into that litterbox. I can only hope that it represents a select unfortunate few, and the vast majority either chooses to remain silent, or uses the good judgment to ignore it. But I can’t help thinking also, that there are likely some names associated with this kind of thing that I’d be saddened if I ever knew.
So speaking solely as a (lately mostly disinterested) fan, I suggest that if the level of negativity in the frequent comments here continues to dwarf the real purpose of this site, it really benefits no one. It just looks kind of pathetic, and CE doesn’t need that. It just drives people away. So if you’re so interested in being in the limelight, or becoming some sort of media personality, it might be time to demonstrate that you can function at a higher level than this. You have to be an adult to compete, why not act like an adult here?

Welcome back Stevie Adnor, and I do hope that those of you out in ozone land who have been reading but not commenting will find eatfeats once again a fun place to banter and share.
Something which should have been obvious to me in all of the “discussion” of the postings under anonymous or monikers did not occur to me fully until I wrote about Rhonda, saying what difference did her so called “real identity” make. As she pointed out, she uses the same name. I am sure that others do likewise. The reason may well be that interest in eatfeats is part of one’s personal recreational life. Bosses present and future need not know the personalities as presented on this website. Plus, in the workplace such personal computer time is sometimes frowned upon or against policy.
With the advent of google and the availability of all kinds of information once kept if not private, difficult to find, all should be a bit careful that whatever is written will not be an embarrassment years from now.
I tried initially to keep my art life separate from my Mom life though I love both. It seemed more professional for my art to do so. I now embrace both together because I get a free ride on Legs’s’ greasy coattails and love the journey. So I am Crazy Legs Mom as well as my artist name. But I see no difference in what people choose to call themselves unless they are purposely being cruel and vindictive under a pseudonym or anonymous.
Please, let’s have more competitive eating discussions, fun, respectful disagreements, information sharing. Lastly, may anyone who chooses to comment or read here thank o.j.rifkin, the Wizard of Oz, who, for whatever reasons, chooses to entertain, inform, and continue this website for us all without asking for any monetary gain or personal recognition.

Not planning to go for the gold on longest posts, I do not anticipate continuing these lengthy opinions. FYI…………

My intention was not to respond back because the last thing i want is to give this fool any publicity that he already has accrued at my expense. . Rona,, you have besmirched yourself in my eyes with some of your remarks accusing me of ridiculing you in regard to your praise of Sonya. For many years going back as far as 2004, i had the utmost respect for you and even though your emails were long and winding , i considered you a positive role model while gainng some incite from your advice.You were one of the few that was generous enough to support my PPV internet show when other cheap bastards couldnt dig into their wallets for a measly $3 . I also enjoyed reading Carmen Basilio hard cover biogrophy you sent through the mail But now ? To inadvertanatly trash me in a civil mannter even though my name was never mantioned , is cold . Forget about Rhonda Lee Evans. I dont know who the hell he or she is. Until i have the pleasure of meeting this person which will never happen, then for all intent purpose im responding to a ghost. For all ii know it could be Ryan Nerz,, a W 25th st employee, Hank, or for that matter Sonya herself although i might be pushing it with that one. To add insult to injury you refer to me as a bully? I never said anything about Sonya nor did i accuse you of being excessivly patriotic towards her. First Joe Mentchetti is the bully and now the torch has been passed? Have i ever said one negative thing about Sonya to you in person or on this site ? Have i ever used physical force on her or anyone else to prove my point? Get the definition straight. Whoever left those remarks , they certainly have a right to their opinion . At first i thought you had called the IFOCE to file a complaint about me when you mentioned going to the direct source or organization , but then i realized i had replied back to you several months ago about keeping your emails on the positive side. I think the shoe might be on the other foot with the bully aspect. . It’s nice to slam somene when they are down and its obvious i am not very pppular on this site so why not blame everything on BB. I am speechless at this point. This is a disgrace. I’m off to partake in a cup of tea if you dont mind

First off, my wife would like to thank anonymous 7:59 from12-8-09 for the kind words. This is quite an honor, especially when there is a real beauty married to Pretty Boy.
I was at the Salmon Chowder contest last week. After the contest, Notorious B.O.B., Badlands Booker, Crazy Legs Conti, and I were taking a walking tour of some of Crazy Leg’s favorite bars. As we entered several watering holes, people recognized Crazy Legs and asked for pictures and autographs. Being the polite person that he is, he introduced us to these fans. Crazy Legs told these people of B.O.B.’s feat of that day and told them about Badlands achievements. And when it came to me he said, “And this is Rick The Manager, aaahhh, he has a really hot wife!”
I just want it to be known that I am sooo glad I have a place in this CE world!
Thank you all!
RICK “THE MANAGER” RUSSO
Eat each meal like it’s your last!

Rick those three people you mentioned: Legs, Badlands, and Bob are three of the many class acts in competitive eating.
Isn’t is amazing how classy individuals are attracted to one another, as I’m certain you fit right in!

BB the less you say on this site the better it is for you, unlike expressing your opinion on your own page, because you have much smaller audience there.
Rona never once mentioned your name, but you’ve filled in all the blanks here for all to see, including me. I was born in the morning, but not yesterday morning.
You look like you’ve lost a lot of weight lately BB. That’s positive, and I hope you build on that positivity. Evolve from the jerk many people believe you are. Prove them wrong. Prove me wrong.
You can start by not slamming this site and OJ, as well as people who have tried to like you.

Dale Boone. Hands down. Always using multiple accounts pronouncing himself “World Champion Dale Boone” and other ridiculous claims like that. Always using multiple accounts saying how great Boone is. The only true champion. And so on. Even though he loses within his own organization. Boone is the biggest joke ever. When he was part of IFOCE, he was on his way DOWN, not UP. And he wasn’t even in the top 10. And now he claims to be World Champion??? Dale Boone, the biggest joke ever. Boone, the biggest loser in the history of CE. Boone, who can only cheat to win. Boone, who is “World Champion”????? of his own organization, even though he loses over and over again to other people in his organization? Boone. Biggest joke ever.

Why do you say about Boone:
“Even though he loses within his own organization”
He hasn’t lost in the WLOCE has he? That’s not the way he sculpted it…
