The new poll asks how you rank the top 5 IFOCE members from the United States.
According to this 2003 article link fixed Jan 12, 2015 in the Washington Times, Stacey Dales might be the ESPN sideline reporter with the best background for next year’s Nathan’s finals broadcast:
Dales-Schuman is at home behind both a microphone – she cut her promos flawlessly – and a dinner plate. Tough, double-session practices have burned off the calories and she works out on her own, but she still is one of those high-metabolism types who can live on the buffet line and stay maddeningly thin. Some mayonnaise with that? Absolutely. She proceeded to liberally apply the stuff, with apparent glee, from a squeeze bottle. “I’m a hog,” she said while chomping on a giant turkey hoagie.
“She eats like a madwoman,” said Indiana Fever coach Nell Fortner, who worked with Dales-Schuman in the studio during ESPN’s coverage of the NCAA women’s basketball tournament and is one of many who marvels at her appetite. “It’s hilarious. There was food all over the desk. Then with 20 seconds to go before we went on, it’s, like, clear the desk. I tell her she eats like a cow. She grazes all day long.”
BeautifulBrian.com was mentioned in a thread about televised competitive eating on a Japanese language message board: (automatically translated / original in Japanese)

Krystal Square Off IV finals of Animation
http://hometown.aol.com/beautifulbrian43/krystal.htmlJoey 103 units / 8 minutes in the championship? And Takeru Kobayashi’s record (97) is one disappeared?
Water-saturated it is not as it is a cormorant, eating a lot of territory.
Especially glasses spilling his food is terrible.
The list of future events on IFOCE.com is now empty. I think this is the first time that there have been no upcoming contests listed since this blog was started.
PRNewsWire.com has videos and some pictures of Saturday’s ramen noodle eating contest.
Full results from the “Wedges & Wings” contest are available after the jump:

BeautifulBrian.com has a page on the dispute with Cookie Jarvis. I will link to a response from Cookie Jarvis if he wants to provide one.
BeautifulBrian.com also has the second music history podcast. The subject is soundalike songs.
No reruns are scheduled on ESPN or ESPN2 for the Krystal Square Off finals in the next two weeks, so watch it or record it tomorrow at 2:30 pm eastern on ESPN if you are interested in seeing it.
A live bowling match precedes the Krystal finals, hopefully it will not run over.
With a 30 minute contest length, it does not appear there will be enough time for much more than introductions, the contest and a post-contest interview. From the schedule
2 p.m. – 2:40p.m. – Introduction of eaters by George Shea, Chairman of the IFOCE.
* 2:40 – 2:48 p.m. – 8 minute Krystal Square Off World Championship Final.
* 2:55 pm – Award Presentations
Liz will be counting for Pat Bertoletti, so she should appear on television.
RealityTVWorld has a recap of last night’s immunity challenge in “Survivor: China” which consisted of eating contests involving Chinese foods which are generally not found in a typical Chinese restaurant in the United States:
Frosti quickly ate his 10 chicken hearts ahead of Peih-Gee, and Fei Long took a 1-0 lead. Courtney and Jaime were close as they both tried to choke down three pieces of eel — which included the heads — however Jaime was just a hair quicker opening her mouth and allowing Zhan Hu to tie the score.
Erik also won a close round against Amanda — chomping and swallowing three baby turtles and narrowly being the first to reveal an empty mouth — giving Zhan Hu a 2-1 lead. James faced Denise next and both had to eat two chicken fetuses with feathers. James tried his damndest to throw the challenge, but Denise couldn’t choke back the chicken. James put on a good show, but once he realized Denise wasn’t going to finish her dish, he solemnly ate all that was on his plate and gave Zhan Hu a 3-1 lead.
Needing only one point to win Immunity, Erik ate a 1,000-year-old egg faster than Frosti and clinched it for Zhan Hu.
Takeru Kobayashi has a page on AllAmericanSpeakers.com. The page does not appear to have been updated since 2004 and does not list his fee.
(From Ryan Nerz) The website for “The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch” has a slideshow of the 5 highest grossing eaters in 2007 which it claims are:
1. Takeru Kobayashi – $100,000+ ($5000 according to eatfeats database)
2. Joey “Jaws” Chestnut – $70,000 ($53,000 according to eatfeats database)
3. Pat “Deep Dish” Bertoletti – $39,500 ($37,500 according to eatfeats database)
4. Tim “Eater X” Janus $18,150 ($16,150 according to eatfeats database)
5. Sonya Thomas $13,600 ($13,600 according to eatfeats database)
The database does not include the “Wedges & Wings” prizes.
Stephanie Florio won $25,000 in a wedding cake eating contest.
Joey Chestnut is currently doing a chat session on ESPN.com which started at noon eastern.
update The chat session was made accessible only to paid subscribers of ESPN.com
The Saratogian reports that Peter G. Hume, a social studies teacher who played in the Canadian Football League, passed away at the age of 54 from natural causes:
He was friends with actors who got him a part in the 1979 Bill Murray comedy “Meatballs.” Hume played a character called “The Stomach” in several scenes including the famous hot-dog eating contest where he blurted his favorite line “What, no mustard?”
Another actor who competed in the “Meatballs” hot dog contest, Keith Knight, died in August from brain cancer.
The website for the student newspaper of Texas Christian University has an anti competitive eating editorial:
Anything I can do from the comfort of my own home shouldn’t be considered a sport.
I have fat friends that sit around all day and drink untold amounts of Mountain Dew and suck on Pixie Stixs. Do I tell them to go challenge Joey Chestnut and Sonya Thomas in the glamorous world of public overeating?
No.
I tell them to hit the treadmill like Marion Jones (minus the steroids) so they can live to see 25.
From IFOCE.com
Major League Eating and the International Federation of Competitive Eating have donated $10,000 to Second Harvest and selected organizations to kick off a campaign to raise $100,000 for hunger charities.
The initiative, which will include donations from the league, eaters, clients and fans, follows IFOCEgives, a similar effort that raised more than $50,000 for charities including Second Harvest and the American Red Cross.
(From GoNintendo) A trailer of the eating contest section of the Simpsons video game can be viewed at http://www.gametrailers.com/player/26884.html
FoodFan263’s youtube page has videos of the recent Whoopie Pie contest, the Taste of Hamburg-er contest and the Pros vs. Joes pizza charity event, all of which Ian Hickman competed in.
From JapanProbe:
Back on October 10th, Fuji TV aired a special in which a 240cm (7 ft. 11 in.) tall man and a 70cm (2 ft. 4 in.) tall man traveled from their hometowns in China to experience life in Japan. The show billed itself as having the world’s shortest and tallest living humans, which was at least true in the case of the short guy, He Pingping of Inner Mongolia. However, I could not find much information on the tall guy, Chao (ãƒãƒ£ã‚ªï¼‰, who is apparently not the world’s tallest living man, but it was still cool to see such a bizarre pairing.
A video of PingPing’s and Chao’s dinner with Gal Sone can be viewed at http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7248401227961879709
“Wedges and Wings” can be viewed in its entirety on the Spike TV website. Three shorter clips are also available.
The eater profile page links from Micah Collins down do not work.
TuscaloosaNews.com has an article about today’s Krystal qualifier, which did not start at its expected time:
That craziness almost derailed the final Krystal Square Off qualifier Saturday. Scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m. on the Quad, the event was delayed nearly half an hour as event planners waited for the arrival of world champion eater Joey Chestnut, who was stuck in game-day traffic.
The article also reports that Joey ate 83 burgers and not the 87 on KrystalSquareOff.com and IFOCE.com
If the contest started without Joey, Jim Reeves would have the wild card slot taken by Tim Brown.
TuscaloosaNews.com also has footage of the 2 minute prequalifiers (from Paul Barlow)
RollTide.com also has some videos (from Paul Barlow)
