A video clip of Joey Chestnut appearing in a spoof game show called “Batoka” to promote Sun Microsystem’s t5440 servers is available.
Bloomberg.com has an article about competitive pumpkin growing which says that the Wallace pumpkin farm in Rhode Island received $10,000 from a Japanese game show for hosting a pumpkin eating contest.
BeautifulBrian.com has reposted the “Bits & Pieces” from five years ago. Brian had the following information about Dale Boone:
At the Pelmeni contest last month i couldnt understand why Badlands walked away from Dale Boone after Boone gave him a friendly pat on the back. Badlands had explained to me that Boone was calling all the eaters in Buffalo and waking them up at 4 AM. I dont know Boone that well but that doesnt seem like a very nice thing to do.
Crazy Legs Conti is a guest on the “Fat Guys at the Movies” podcast co-hosted by Kevin Carr. (His segment begins around the 34 minute mark.) Crazy Legs mainly talks about his movie watching record attempt, but he does reveal some unconventional attire he wore during a Johnsonville bratwurst contest.
Paul Barlow has released his list of the top 25 best-dressed IFOCE competitors (which actually contains 33 eaters, I think). His top 5:
1. Tim Brown
1.5 Paul Barlow
2. SykoBozo
3. Ron Koch
4. El Toro
5. Kevin Ross.
If there was a best dressed female rookie category, I would have awarded it to Old Home Week pierogi runner-up Larell Marie Mele and her leopard-print tank top. 😉
Hall Hunt has compiled the October edition of his top 25. The top 10:
1. Joey “Jaws” Chestnut (9) (243) [1]

4. “Humble” Bob Shoudt (212) [4]
5. Hall “Hoover” Hunt (200) [7]
6. Tim “Eater-X†Janus (198) [5]
7. Rich “The Locust” LeFevre (177) [8]
8. Sonya “The Blackwidow†Thomas (174) [6]
9. Eric “Badlands†Booker (131) [13]
10. Juris “Dr. Bigtime†Shibayama (130) [14]
Bruce “The Hangman” Pobanz was the only eater besides Joey Chestnut to receive a first place vote.
Andrew “Skinnyboy” Lane has posted his poll votes.
The new poll asks when you think the next IFOCE poll will come out. The last poll was released in April.
Jason Petrie has set up a ranking system which awards 100-10 points for major contests and 25-1 points for other non-qualifiers. His listing is available after the jump:

BeautifulBrian.com is hosting a poll which asks if the website should be moved to a new provider when hometown.aol.com closes at the end of the month. The choices in the poll are:
Val Bromann has a blog entry and gallery about her trip to the Krystal finals. Her father drove her from Chicago to Chattanooga from midnight to Sunday morning.
Hall Hunt also has some pictures on his blog.
update Jamie of Hungry Sisters has a pre-KSO report which includes her selection as Kobayashi’s bunnette and several videos. (She will post a contest report later)
update #2 The trip report on hungrysisters has been extended to cover the contest and a gallery has also been uploaded.
SonyaTheBlackWidow.com is currently down and brings up a generic search page. It also experienced an outage of several days after Sonya announced she would miss last year’s Krystal finals and for more than a week after the controversial 2006 meatball contest.
(From Crawfish comment) The Glutton Bowl will be rerun on the Fox Reality Channel tonight at 10pm and 1am eastern. The show duration is two hours. Five hours of competitive eating programming on various channels is probably a record for one 24 hour period.
AICE News reports that Elliot “The Bone Collector” Rader has been temporarily suspended from the World Wakefield Chicken Salad Sandwich Eating Championship for falsely claiming on his website that he won the Ben Pao 2008 Egg Roll Eating contest.
The bonecollector.info has been updated with the correct name of the egg roll contest winner, Steve “Doc” Dohko, but it still claims that Rader won the 2007 Chicago Wingfest contest. A video of Pat Bruss being announced as the winner of that contest can be viewed on video.google.com
TheStreet.com has an interview with Joey Chestnut in which he describes his training regimen and says that he has eaten 114 burgers in a Krystal practice session.
Zap2It.com has broadcast information about the Krystal Square Off finals. It does not appear that the program will be rerun in the immediate future, but it will not be preceded by live programming that could pre-empt it.
A video of Takeru Kobayashi’s appearance on the Fox 6 morning show is available. Kobayashi answers in English when he is asked for his Krystals personal best. Kobayashi also oversees, but does not compete in, a contest in the studio.
Videos from the Nashville and Knoxville qualifiers are also available on the Krystal youtube page.
