MSN.com has a list of the ten species with the biggest appetites compiled by the Animal Planet television network. The number 7 animal in the list, the Tasmanian devil, has the following caption:
Good thing the Tasmanian devil can’t compete in the annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest every Fourth of July; Joey Chestnut and Kobayashi couldn’t hold a candle to this creature’s pace. The Australian outback native can swallow up to 40 percent of its body weight in just 30 minutes — that’s the equivalent of a human eating 216 hamburgers in the same amount of time! The Tasmanian devil will actually eat to the point that it can barely waddle around, and is particularly fond of anything that smells like flesh. So if you’ve got some old boots or smelly socks, pass them to your left, along with the salt and pepper.
(From The Dish) The segment about the Heart Attack Grill in Chandler, Arizona that was televised on CBS News Sunday Morning is now available on cbsnews.com. Bill Geist of CBS News attempts the Quadruple Bypass Burger challenge, which reportedly contains 8,000 calories.
Pat Bertoletti has posted a blog entry to his yardbarker blog about the Guinness 12 inch pizza record he and Hall Hunt attempted to break while he was in Fort Pierce for the Battle of the Big Apple pizza contest. The record is listed at 2 minutes and 14 seconds and the video is 36 seconds long.
update The Spike’s record challenger broke the store record with 15 hot dogs. Congratulations.
Patrick Michels has produced a blog entry and video about the Big Kahuna burger challenge at Pancho & Lefty’s in Hare, Texas.

A trailer of the Travel Channel’s Man vs. Food has been embedded on the program’s home page. An interview with show host Adam Richman is also available.
A trailer for the web series Quest for the Golden Hot Dog can be viewed on youtube. The 60Frames production will be a parody of the world of competitive eating. A clip from the series of an interview with two hot dog girls (Bunettes) is also available.
TubeFilter.tv has more on the series including a cast of some of the characters:
In the trailer, the competitors are introduced as they all ram hot dogs. There’s the novice rookie played by Jeff Sloniker. There’s the Asian natural (likely a nod to Kobayashi himself), but played by a woman, Micki Ann Maddox. Armen Weitzman plays the role of the sitting legacy. Jeff Davis is the Hungry, Hungry Hipster And Demorge Brown is the Black Bomber, and he’s well, black.
More sad news from Asia. The Times of India reports that Saurav Sabbarwal, a solutions engineer with Nokia Siemens Networking, died after choking in a pastry eating contest held at an office cafeteria in Guragon, India. It is not clear if the contest was pre-planned or an informal competition.
Nokia produced a commercial featuring a competitive eating fan who uses her phone to get contest updates.
update The contest was apparently a company activity and there was no medical supervision present. Mr. Sabbarwal’s family is considering suing Nokia Siemens.
