    Like “Furious” Pete, this lady saw real hard-working talented competitive eaters like Sonya, Joey and Kobi, and figured out a way to make money off of their talents. It’s kind of sick.

    Cha-Ching, what is sick about this? Are you saying the people named did it first? That’s silly. No one has a lock on competitive eating, never did, never will.

    She’s not a competive eater just plays one on the internet. What’s sick is that she makes money off the hard work and real talent of others while falsely claiming to be a competitive eater like them. If she follows the “Furious” Pete playbook, she’ll start to sell some merchandise and tee shirts. Expanding her spiel to doing a few easy stunts on the internet wouldn’t hurt either. Then she’ll make up some story about how she could beat talented eaters but chooses not to do so and invent some story about how an eating organization wouldn’t let her eat against other recognized eaters. But eventuallly she’ll start to get challenged of her claims by respectable news organizations and one day she’ll eventually have to go up against a real competitive eater (a la Kobi v. Pete at pizza). At that point everyone that she suckered will see that she was really just a self promoter with no particular talent except for being pretty and scamming people for cash.

    Whoever finishes a marathon in 3 hours is a runner, as are those who run in in barely 2 hours. I can’t state she is as good at CE as other female competitive eaters we all know, in fact, she probably isn’t as good. However she is still a competitive eater to me, as Furious Pete is, it doesn’t matter if he makes it to the top 3 competitive eaters in the world or not.

    Not sick at all…in the USA this is called an opportunity. I don’t see her doing anything illeagal, wrong, or unethical. Cha-Ching…you sound like just another negative person that posts on this site.

    She’s probably smart enough to market herself as the world’s top female competitive eater, and if she can I’d jump on her bandwagon. Who could prove her wrong? IFOCE records are all suspect and cannot be believed. Go for it Grace!

    TLD: What is your philosophy in life?
    GL: Everything has divine purpose and timing. Never stop learning, trying, and growing. And cherish each day with the ones you love and protect the love you have in your life. Follow your dreams, pursue your passion. Never give up and embrace every opportunity you get. Life is not about luck, it is about determination and faith. Don’t neglect or abuse your blessings and always stay focused on the goal. Don’t forget why you do what you do.
    Grace Lee
    Atlanta Gspots

    Reading the whole interview, the eating challenges are only a part of the whole and done to promote her venture, not for her to become the world’s top female competitive eater. I doubt that she cares one whit about that. I admire her life view and accomplishments to date.

    I don’t know exactly how I became a “competitive eater” but I’ve always had an insatiable appetite and I guess its my talent. Some people can whistle, I can eat! The challenge that got the most attention was the 5lb burrito at Cantina. I beat a former NFL player, Marcus Lewis, and NBA player, Jonathan Kerner. That was lots of fun

    Your are not by any means a Competitive eater. You took one Hour to do some the World Champion Dale Boone did in 12mins. Learn your place. Go sale and stay out of eating .
