Tim Brown profile
Tim Brown did an interview with the Boothbay Register on a trip back to his father’s restaurant in Maine.
Brown says that this is the first year that he has taken competitive eating seriously. He is now in training for the primo event of competitive eating, Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Championship on the 4 th of July in Coney Island. “Right now, I’ve been on the circuit trying to qualify for Nathan’s. It’s like the Super Bowl of competitive eating. There’s no prize money, but it’s the one event every year that everyone tries to get into,” says Brown. Brown has been traveling the qualifying circuit for Nathan’s and thinks he is likely to get into the competition as a wildcard entry. To prepare himself, each morning and evening, he drinks a gallon of water as fast as he can, usually under five minutes. A couple of times a week he will go to a buffet. He shovels downs 10 pounds of zucchini or tofu. Brown also runs five miles a day, six days a week. Despite all this hard work, progress is slow. A year ago Brown could down 21 hot dogs, now he is up to 25.
