    OJ—It looks like Darron Breeden’s YouTube channel has been removed from YouTube (“Darron Eats”). Can you or others please check and confirm? Hope it ain’t true!

    Obviously it’s his channel and he can decide to take it down if he wants, but it’s sad because i really enjoyed his videos and learned a lot from them. It was cool to see him progress to become one of the top MLE eaters by 2018/2019 after starting food challenges in 2016.

    3:00 am. You might consider getting more sleep instead of constantly complaining about the so called owners of Nathans.
    Look around you. Do you ALWAYS buy products only made in the US? That would be a very tall order. Most things come from China or outside the US.
