Three year anniversary of Sonya Thomas’ eating career
Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Kwanza, Festivus and all other and all other holidays celebrated this time of year. In an infinitely less signficant Dec 25 anniversary, Sonya Thomas started her attempts at competitive eating on December 25, 2002 according to this San Francisco Chronicle interview from May by practicing for Nathan’s. She failed to eat one hot dog in less than a minute.
