A video of a beer drinking contest beteween Joey Chestnut and Dewey has been posted to yardbarker.com. The winner finishes his pitcher of beer in under 10 seconds.
update In other Joey Chestnut video news, Washington Capitals owner Ted Leonsis noted that Joey Chestnut winning the bikini fries contest in Austin last year was the #2 video on youtube yesterday. It currently has almost 250,000 views. I have not been able to find cause for the traffic surge.
Recently a television program starring Tomoko Miyake was accused of claiming she ate more than she actually did. The new poll asks how common you think fakery is in televised Japanese competitive eating.
An anonymous account of last year’s pumpkin eating contest in Rhode Island claims additional discrepancies in another program Tomoko Miyake appeared in.
Some captures from the Clinton Station Diner giant burger contest footage at the start of the History Channel’s Evolve: Guts have been attached.
Nikkan Sports reports that the magazine “Modern Weekly” is alleging that Tomoko Miyake did not actually consume all the food she appeared to eat in a Nippon Television program.
Tomoko will appear (briefly) along with the other competitors in the giant burger contest held earlier this year at the Clinton Station Diner on the History Channel’s “Evolve:Guts” at 11 pm and 3 am eastern tonight
update The Mainichi Shimbun reports that Nippon Television has apologized for the deception and attributes the inaccuracies to miscounting.
Tomoko Miyake addresses the magazine article’s claims in a blog entry which begins (according to Google Translation)
The weekly magazine article about the concern that everybody did deeply apologize for any inconvenience.
A look at the article, friends and fans worried about people from a lot of mail and messages encouraging words.
