An Opie & Anthony message board has some information about the upcoming egg nog drinking contest:

For the Eggnog contest one of the prizes is a trip to Colorado. That will probably happen at the NY Hard Rock Café perhaps on December 7th. The Homeless Shopping Spree will probably be on the 15th. Joey, the guy who won the Nathan’s Hot Dog contest, had previously said that he wants to be in the eggnog contest but they’ve heard rumors that the competitive food organization may want them to pay money.

Pat from Moonachie. He will be in the Eggnog contest. He sounds down. His new used van is more of a money pit than his old van. The eating organization passed over him for something that was on Spike TV, it was supposed to be the top 16 eaters and he is number 16. He thinks it was because he is the only fat one in the group.

Ramadan Haleem Eating Contest, Hyderabad, India

The winner of the competition was Mohammad Saleem who managed to eat two kilograms of Haleem in 30 seconds.

“I am feeling really good. They gave us two minutes to finish it but I don’t know in how much time I finished that much,” said Saleem.

An eatery in the city, called ‘Pista House’, started organising this competition in 2003 with vegetarian versions of Haleem during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

The owner of eatery said he organised the competition despite recent terror attacks in the city to ease tension among residents.

“We have organised this competition to make people feel a little relaxed,” said M. A. Majeed, organiser of the competition.

The Washington Post Sports “Bog” has results from Sunday’s “Pros vs. Joes” pizza eating contest for charity:

Kedric Golston and his team of “Pros” won the celebrity pizza eating contest Sunday at Don Corleone’s. By one slice. Professional eater Ian “The Invader” Hickman carried the team of pros, downing 32 slices, according to enthusiastic Don Corleone’s owner Waleed R. Zarou.

But Golston held his own, putting away 14 slices of pizza in 10 minutes (remember, they were double-cut, so that means he ate about 87 percent of one pie).

A commenter thinks Hickman’s result must be an IFOCE record.

The Washington Post’s Sports “Bog” has an entry about Sunday’s “Pros vs. Joes” pizza contest that is mainly about Redskin Kedric Golston. Some of the best eaters on the Redskins are mentioned:

Guard Randy Thomas has entered eating contests before; Golston labeled him “a legend” and said “I need to call him and figure out how to warm my stomach up.” Former D-linemen Renaldo Wynn and Joe Salave’a were “definitely in the top five” of Redskins eaters, but they’ve both been released. (Demetric Evans, though, is not an eating star; “he’s too pretty,” Golston said.)

The website for Bubba Dogs reports on the hot dog eating contest it held Saturday:

Well, it was a great day. We ended up with 10 contestants on Saturday and had a phenomenal time. Most importantly, we raised $2000 for the Fallen Heroes Fund. The winner was Gentleman Joe Menchetti who gobbled 18 hot dogs in 12 minutes. It seems that Joe was taking it easy as he knew he had it in the bag. Below are the pix from the day (click on them for larger view). The weather cooperated and we ended up moving from the promenade at JFK to the La Costa complex parking lot. This proved to be the right move as most of the festivities were taking place in this area anyway.
