    Jamie is easily the best eater in the world.

    He might become that but unless he goes up against MLE eaters, he is not going to be able to make that claim. Perhaps the best independent eater would be his niche.

    stephanie torres is spending more time in NY & NJ in the last 2yrs than in her entire lifetime. Maybe she should move here altogether

    I saw the hot dogs they are same size as Nathans. Pretty impressive numbers from everyone except for Philbin. With IFOCE he usually ate 27

    Jamie is beastmode, if all pro can keep him, promote him well, and get a big sponsor to host bigger events. They may give ifoce a run for their money

    That would be a really really tall order, to give MLE/IFOCE a run for their money. Does AllPro have a paid staff for starters, does AllPro have a bank account with money to lay out, and most of all, Jamie by himself without close competition would be much like Kobayashi is now, just an independent but someone really well known who can get some attention from some sponsors. Jamie is not known yet, just starting. What is his personality, what kind of interviews does he give etc. Jamie has his work cut out for him and certainly All Pro does too. Granted, they may offer Jamie more than MLE could, but as far as All Pro giving MLE a run for their money, time will certainly tell but they have quite a job ahead.

    I don’t know if these were comparable to Nathan’s. the buns were potato rolls, which I believe are denser than what Nathan’s uses.

    Thank you, 123, and thank you, Seiken fan.

    We have no intention of trying to steal BB.com’s territory and yes, we would happily give BB coverage as we did here: http://www.therakeandherald.tv/society/societystory.php?id=182

    Rake & Herald i have been waiting quite some time for another website that reports the news and only the news without adding a forum for anonymous assholes to voice their hatred towards me and others.The fact that you give my site a fair shake is huge plus and i thank you . Unfortunate that this site splits those duties OJ Rifkin dismisses what i report as nothing more than inaccurate facts and non credible reports , thanks to his loyal band of haters that obviously convinced him to do exactly that.I print the truth the truth and nothing but the truth since its inception in Sept 2003 . On occasion he will link a video from my youtube page but thats about it. I am honored that you gave my site and plug and feel free to use any other sources from BB.com on your site. Whoever left that comment about “stealing territory” is an idiot and an inciteful troublemaker. Keep up the solid work.

    Hello Beautiful Brian!

    Thank you very much indeed for your comment, kind words and permissions.

    I have just posted a rather long (possibly too long) post on this very subject here: http://eatfeats.com/2012-smokes-poutinerie-championship.html#comment-784515

    For the record, we think that both you and BB.com are ace and we very much respect, appreciate and enjoy what you do as a competitive eater and as a writer, journalist and film maker.

    If you are ever interested in any potential collaborations, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

    All power to you, I say.

    Long live Beautiful Brian and long live BB.com and may competitive eating simply go from strength to strength!

    Again, thank you very much indeed for your comment.

    It is highly appreciated.

    And just to add, if the Rake & Herald can ever be of service to you, it would be our pleasure.

    The Rake & Herald have no idea about the can of worms they’ve just opened with this wide-open arms invitation. This is going to be absolutely hysterical. Like an oncoming train wreck, you won’t be able not to watch.

    Ah well, that’s entertainment, I guess.

    He’ll get angry at something or expect something in return. Just wait, he will be trashing you soon.
