(from blog.miyaketomoko.com) Takuya Yamomoto, 2005 “Gluttonous King” champion (and 2006 runner up), has started a blog at takuyashirusu.jugem.jp The subject of a recent entry is Joey Chesnut’s breaking of the Nathan’s record (automatically translated):
Becoming great thing, don’t you think? it increases, yesterday, you knew with the friend and the net now morning saw with news it is, but rather the head bad record coming out, the better seed [e] (ã‚œQ.) They are 59 these [tsu] [te] [aho] in 12 minutes. Kobayashi this time considerably with [yabai] the shank (the â–½;)Finally alternation of generation??
Kobayashi being defeated privately, desired it is not, it is, but seriously so is.
Production pleasure and ~
The LAist blog has a report from this morning’s donut eating contest at Randy’s Donuts held to promote the DVD release of CHiPs. James Donohue won the contest, finishing his 18 donuts before any other eater could finish a dozen. A contest video and post contest interview with Donohue are available.
update CelebrityMound has some pictures
The report about Dale Boone having a motorcycle accident in India might be a cover story for him assuming a new identity as a minor league baseball manager 😉
(From JapanProbe) A Japanese news clip about Joey Chestnut’s record breaking performance in the Tempe Nathan’s qualifier has been uploaded to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BdsD4DgESM
Kevin Carr devotes the last quarter of his hour long movie podcast (beginning around the 48 minute mark) to competitive eating and Joey Chestnut’s record breaking performance (language may not be safe for work or families).
(From GerberDaisee) A two minute podcast of Joey Chestnut’s interview this morning on the Today Show is available on the NBC news website.
Brian Seiken has uploaded the episode of his television program recorded at today’s qualifier at Shea Stadium to http://hometown.aol.com/beautifulbrian43/wrap.html
The IFOCE.com results for the Shea Stadium qualifier says that Joey Chestnut will be on NBC’s Today Show on Monday sometime between 7 am and 10 am.
(from Badlands Booker) The episode of “Wife Swap” in which Eric “Badlands” Booker’s wife and female boxer Jennifer Alcorn trade families will be rerun on June 4 at 8 pm on ABC. Booker has lost 90 pounds since that show was recorded in July 2006.
(From Gyaru’s residence) The video for “BoomBoom Meccya Maccho”, featuring Natsuko “Gal” Sone, can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUCgsUfPXII
(From Badlands Booker) Badlands Booker has recorded a tribute to bunnettes and made it available on http://myspace.com/badlandsbooker
(From Steakbellie) a one minute news clip about Saturday’s Philadelphia qualifier from Reuters video can be viewed at http://www.reuters.com/news/video?videoId=54562&videoChannel=4

An article about the Philadelphia Nathan’s qualifier video on MLE appears CompetitveEatingNews.com. Apparently IFOCE is standing by its original results:
Nonetheless, several viewers have reported watched the video and claimed that it shows that Shoudt’s hot dogs were closely counted and that, to support claims of a mis-count, Shoudt would have had to eat five additional hot dogs during one of the 10-second periods when the camera pans away. These viewers claim that it is possible to follow Bob’s consumption throughout the contest, if one allows for the missed moments when the camera pans away.
They also claim that the video reveals the MLE host repeatedly alerting the Nathan’s judge to the multiple plate issue and conscientiously following the count.
A video of a woman, apparently named “Sam”, attempting to drink a gallon of milk in under an hour can be found on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6CJDDUpgBA She almost finishes a gallon in under 8 minutes and takes rather long intervals between sips.
(from Erik Denmark comment) Videos from the Philadelphia and Hartford Nathan’s qualifiers can be found on the MLE videos page.
A listing of several competitive eating websites has been added to SonyaTheBlackWidow.com (thanks for the compliment)
There is also an interesting quote from an Alice Cooper song that I originally wondered who it was addressed to, but on second reading, it is apparently directed to men in general.
The New York Times has an article about the contest to find the best user created Heinz commercial. The Heinz logo on the IFOCE.com home page links to the contest website. The submitted commercials receive some negative reviews:
Heinz hopes to show more than five of them, if there are enough that convey a positive, appealing message about Heinz ketchup, he said. But advertising executives who have seen some of the entries say that Heinz may be hard pressed to find any that it is proud to run on television in September.
“These are just so bad,†said Linda Kaplan Thaler, chief executive of the Kaplan Thaler Group, an advertising agency in New York that is not involved with Heinz’s contest.
One of the most viewed Heinz videos — seen, at last count, more than 12,800 times — ends with a close-up of a mouth with crooked, yellowed teeth. When Ms. Kaplan Thaler saw it, she wondered, “Were his teeth the result of, maybe, too much Heinz?â€
(From Someboys) A video clip of Natsuko “Gal” Sone’s appearance, along with Tokito Ami, her bandmate in Gyaruru on the show Goro’s bar to promote the June 20 release of their single can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST8DT3HD-bo The is no competitive eating on the show, but Ami competes in a funny face contest.
An excerpt of Brian Seiken’s commentary about Joe Menchetti’s appearance on his television show follows:
Menchetti has to constantly keep his guard up realizing he is on the defensive end similar to being grilled on the witness stand by a prosecuting attorney. If you are expecting foul mouth humor this show is not for you. It will probobly appeal more to the old school CE crowd that has been through the mill with Speedeat.com .He starts off like a lamb then slowly tears into the IFOCE and the Shea’s. The amazing thing about Menchetti is that he stands by most of his past negative remarks and seems to find justification with every phrase and syllable that have made their way to his keypad. If he regrets any of his past remarks on Speedeat it is only because he wishes he could have said it sooner than later. The scary part is that you couldnt even break him if you tried. He remembers facts , stats and where he placed in every single event since his debut in CE. This wealth of CE knowledge is stored in a harddrive located somewhere in the back of his arrogant brain. During a phone in ,.Don Lerman attempts to attack but Menchetti counters with everything Lerman throws at him.
Todd “The Butler” Yeates has uploaded a picture of the competitive eating “Wall of Fame” located in his home gym to his blog.
The “Gentleman” Joe Menchetti episode is now available for purchase on beautifulbrian.com
Hogzilla has posted entries about his competitive eating training in his myspace blog. He is preparing for the July 4 hot dog eating contest at the Dairy Inn in St. Petersburg, FL.
There is an article about that contest in creativeloafing.com containing some quotes from Kate Westfall of the IFOCE.
A video from a road trip to Denny’s Beer Barrel Pub to attempt the 15 pound Belly Buster burger is available at http://youtube.com/watch?v=OUkcRa-d-jU
