Up and coming eaters of African descent
Toward the end of Brian Seiken’s most recent TV show, he asks Charles Hardy about the lack of African-American eaters on the IFOCE circuit following in his and Badlands Booker’s path. Hardy mentions that his son will try to help rectify that situation when he competes in the Molly Pitcher Nathan’s qualifier in June. Oscar Juma of Nairobi, Kenya is another eater of African descent who could possible have an impact in competitive eating. Juma won Lindsey Wilson College’s chicken wing contest by eating 35 wings in 3 minutes. Juma is a member of Lindsey Wilson College’s national champion soccer team.
Other African-American eaters to pay attention to include:
Jerman “Black Death” Pressley, who finished in the top five in last month’s Wing Bowl 14
Adedayo Adeniran, Duke University 2004 hot dog champion, 2005 runner-up (but with a better performance than in 2004). Adedayo could solve the problem could lack of successors to Booker and Hardy as well as Sonya Thomas and Carlene LeFevre at the same time.
1963 IHOP contest flashback
The San Bernardino Sun has a flashback from 43 years today ago about a pancake contest for college students sponsored by the International House of Pancakes. Teams from over 50 colleges participated, including a team from Tokyo. Two San Bernardino Valley College students, Bruce James and Susan Moncrief, won the contest by eating 270 pancakes in 30 minutes. A breakdown of the amount of pancakes eaten by James and Moncrief is not provided.
Collegiate Spring Break contests added
IFOCE.com announced that goldenpalace.net will sponsor two eating contests open only to college students that will be held at the Spring Break destinations of South Padre Island, TX and Panama City Beach, FL. The food item and duration have not yet been determined, but the first place prize will be $1000. If graduate students are allowed entrance, Hall Hunt will be the probable favorite for the Florida contest if Joey Chestnut and Pat Bertoletti stay at home. Contests at other Spring Break destinations are expected.
Penn State sandwich tournament
The Penn State student paper reports The Are U Hungry? restaurant is having a “Fat Bitch” sandwich eating contest with a $1,000 first prize. The contest will have a tournament format, so it will be inconvenient for someone living outside the Penn State area to win. Potential entrants will be timed eating a sandwich and the 64 fastest eaters will make the field.
