It is also a feature on the DVD.
…
Tuesday, July 24th DVD release screening in Taste-O-Vison, Millennium Theater 7:33 PM (66 East 4th street between 2nd ave Bowery). After-Party @ Coyote Ugly (1st ave and 9th street).
Conti also reports that he broke Sonya’s popcorn record from the 2005 MTV movie awards contest at the Las Vegas Home Media Expo and that Corey Feldman will be the head judge at Saturday’s pie eating contest.
(from Brian Seiken) Brian Seiken has uploaded a clip of Joey Chestnut on the Opie & Anthony show in which Joey discusses the post-Nathan’s state of his digestive system. Joey also says he would like to compete in the egg nog contest.
Gal Sone recently moved out of her parent’s house in Kyoto into a studio apartment in the Shibuya district of Tokyo. A program called “Imada Housing Moving” located Gal Sone a new residence and then performed some renovations on it, greatly upgrading the kitchenette and adding a built in aquarium and condiment dispenser. The apartment has 29.6 square meters (330 square feet) and has a monthly rent of 116000 Yen ($957). The apartment is too small for both a bed and sofa, so Gal Sone will sleep on a futon.
R Suzuki has a summary of the program

Liz’s fantasy league receives another mention in the Worcester, MA Telegram:
Not only did I receive praise from Liz Kellermeyer, the creator of the fantasy eating league located at groups.google.com/group/fantasyeating, who called my column “a lot of fun,†but I even had my own brush with an actual athlete.
Yes, Super Paul Bonebreaker BigMouth Barlow, a man of many names and a giant appetite, who is ranked 40th in the world by the International Federation of Competitive Eating.
Barlow also wrote to express his enjoyment of the article and said that one of the highlights of his life was becoming a fantasy league subject.
See, we have to help these unheralded heroes fulfill their life dreams by making them fantasy stars.
Crazy Legs Conti is interviewed on this week’s edition of Kevin Carr’s movie podcast to talk about the release of his DVD “Zen and the Art of Competitive Eating” next week.
The website for the Big Texan steakhouse now has a webcam pointed at the table reserved for diners who attempt the restaurant’s 72 ounce steak.
A video of Gal Sone, disguised as a senior citizen, competing in an eating contest Bobby Oregon, a Japanese speaking comedian from Nigeria, can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoFNFHCqNq8 Ken’s Twisted Rant has a report (in English) about the appearance.
(From Kevin Carr) The second podcast is available on eatcast.blogspot.com which has the following contents:
In the second installment of EatCast, Kevin and Neil take a bite out of Crazy Legs Conti’s documentary “Zen and the Art of Competitive Eating.” They chew through the new IFOCE rankings and discuss Kevin’s placement on Super Paul Barlow’s best dressed list.
In the second segment, competitive eating fangirl Liz Kellermeyer calls in to take a look at the field from a fan’s perspective. In the third segment, Kevin and Neil chat with Beautiful Brian Seiken to talk a little more about the new rankings and the future of the sport.
From Erik Denmark’s blog:
For those of you in Washington State, you can see me on the popular mid-day talk show, Northwest Afternoon on KomoTV (ABC)tomorrow – Thursday, July 18 at 3:00 pm PST.
During the segment I will answer questions from the hosts Kent and Natasha and we will have a one minute jalapeno eating contest.
“Kid” Cary Degrosa, who ruled Las Vegas eating before the LeFevres emerged, has uploaded a clip of him competing against Grub Smith in a hot dog eating contest from a British travel program. There is also footage of Kid Cary dancing to “The Hot Dog Man” at a Nathan’s contest.
Kid Cary has talked about making a DVD of his competitive eating exploits. If that project will not materialize, hopefully he will put all his clips on youtube.
Megamunch has come up with some possible phrases for competitive eating themed buttons that only insiders would get such as:
“Koby reversed!”
“I applied to be a bunnette and all I got was this lousy button”
As best as I can remember, these are the IFOCE rookies of the year:
2001 – Don Lerman
2002 – Cookie Jarvis
2003 – Dale Boone
2004 – Sonya Thomas
2005 – Tim Janus
2006 – Joey Chestnut
2007 – Arturo Rios, Jr.
Please make any corrections to this list in the comments.
A space in this fall’s “Gluttonous King” contest has been reserved for a novice female competitor. The qualifier for this slot, which was won by Mio “Sakura” Takahashi, can be viewed at http://youtube.com/user/euromach2 Gal Sone serves as a co-MC.
Sports Illustrated NFL reporter Peter King trashed the Nathan’s finals in 2006 and has made a similar comment this year:
We ought to be ashamed in this country when events like hot-dog eating contests gain popularity — the Coney Island fiasco was actually covered on New York sports-talk radio on my vacation — instead of inviting revulsion. Stomach-gorging is not a sport, and it is abominable to try to make it one in a country where too many people go to bed hungry every night.
The Big Lead sports blog has a comment about King’s critique:
I think Point “i†is the funniest thing I’ve seen today. A fatass like King lamenting on the disgusting nature of a gorging contest in the Nathan’s Hot Dog Challenge at Coney Island. It’s one thing to mock a competition that is loosley defined as sport when it involves pounding hotdogs, but doesnt peter king weigh nearly 300 pounds himself, and shouldnt he be the last authority on what counts as disgusting eating habbits? Kobyashi can probably bench peter king himself.
(from Carey Poehlmann) Fox 16 has a news video and article about yesterday’s Backyard Burger qualifier in Arkansas. Brent Hurst won with 5 burgers in 7 minutes.
KVAL.com reports that Joey Chestnut repeated in today’s rib eating contest at the Chinook Winds Casino in Lincoln City, OR. No other results are listed. A video clip is available.

Joey – 7.65lbs
Rich – 5.75lbs

update #2 OregonLive.com has an article about the contest in which Joey says he is considering competing in Japan.
update #3 The Chinook Winds website has a contest video
The “Science of Speed Eating” will be rerun on the National Geographic Channel at 2pm eastern today.
(From sonyatheblackwidow.com) The website for the supermarket chain Harris Teeter has a press release about Sonya Thomas’ commerical for house brand paper plates. The other three commercials in the advertising campaign star former wrestler Hulk Hogan, speed drummer Mike Mangini and radio Host Art Bell. Harris Teeter is based on the east coast with most locations between Maryland and Georgia. Some of the ads have the products used in unconventional manners:
Bell promotes aluminum foil for Harris Teeter by shaping it into a hat with an antenna. Why, you may ask? It’s Art Bell, he needed to see if the yourhome aluminum foil protected his brain from paranormal frequencies.
R Suzuki reports that a movie based on the “Gourmet Fighter” anime is in production. Natsuko “Gal” Sone and Nobuyuki “the Giant” Shirota are in the cast listing.
A video of Tuesday’s P’Zone Challenge is available at http://youtube.com/watch?v=f7O9b8HtpdM WhatPushesMyButtons.com also has a video and pictures.
“Super” Paul “Bonebreaker” Barlow, Jr. has compiled his list of the top 20 top best dressed IFOCE competitiors at the midpoint of 2007. The top 5 in that ranking follows:
1. Crazy Legs Conti – the man does it all…creativity, style, hair, entrances (Coney Island was my favorite), and is nuts to begin with, which may give him an unfair advantage!!
2. Tim Eater X Janus – We are getting so used to his facepaint, it almost cost him here. But, the man’s color-co-ordination on his mug, the Helen Haggerty incident, and his Hartford hollerings keep him in the fashion frontlines!!
3. Super Paul BBBMB- my pictures provide my evidence, and I think I’ve been a good influence on Crazy Legs, Hall Hunt, my daughter (a well-dressed neat eater) and some others who now know how important grooming has become!!
4. Steakbellie- a kilt!! That alone almost put him higher on this list – the tattoos are just gravy.
5. Russ Keeler – It’s not only the tie-dye, but to get your family in on the act, that’s just groovy!!
Brian Seiken has uploaded his second podcast. He also has commentary about Krazy Kevin Lipsitz’s omission from the new IFOCE rankings.
(from Laura Flynn) The website for the Chinook Winds Casino, the site of this weekend’s rib eating contest, has a video clip of a “Big Bertha” burger contest in which the LeFevres and Joey Chestnut competed. I am not sure what year the contest took place.
update from Rich Lefevre The contest took place in 2007 and the top 3 were:
Joey Chestnut 9:30
Rich LeFevre 9:45
Carlene LeFevre 15:15, first competition in almost 2 years.
