(From “The Savage” comment)
There was a hot dog eating contest in tonight’s episode of the NBC comedy, “The Office”. watchingtheoffice describes the contest in their recap of tonight’s episode:
Next event, Michael had Pam cooks up hundreds of hotdogs for a hotdog eating contest. No one is really keen on the idea and in his frustration Michael finally reveals his plan. Whoever excells at these challenges will be the next regional manager. Stanley starts stuffing his face.
Stanley: “I would rather work for an up-turned broom with a bucket for a head than work for anyone else in this office besides myself. Game on!â€Creed walks up, “No one told me we were having hotdogs.†The fish he caught earlier is now only bones.
HerosTv.com describes some sections of the upcoming “Simpsons” video game:
The Wii version will include a mini-game where Homer is in a eating contest and players must use the Wii remote as a spoon.
The level that was shown at the event was called “Around the World in 80 Bits†and featured Homer eating a bunch of ethnic foods (including the Insanity Chili Pepper from the “Vision Quest†episode) and growing into a huge, Katamari-esque, ball of lard.
Hopefully the mini-game will be more successful than the most recent Wii / competitive eating fusion.
In the most recent website update, I removed some eater links that were either private myspace pages or apparently abandoned blogs. Those links were removed because there was not much new information on them available to the general public and not because of issues with any of the removed eaters. Some of those links have been restored.

(From Krystal Lovers) There will be 4 hours of competitive eating reruns on ESPN2 Saturday night The programs will be one hour long instead of the half hour edited reruns which are often televised.
In the current contest sponsored by supplement manufacturer Controlled Labs, entrants are to submit videos of eating as many White Castle sliders as possible in 2 minutes. Krystal burgers are acceptable substitutes. It will be interesting to see how close the winner comes to the Krystal 2 minute record of 28.
