Inside Hook has an article about "Fat Men's Clubs", popular in the late 19th and early 20th century, claiming they are the predecessors of competitive eating. In 1909, 380 pound Frank Dotzler ate 275 oysters, 8 pounds of steak, 12 rolls, 11 cups of coffee and 3 pies to win $50 in an eating contest at the Manhattan's Fat Men's Club.
