A page about the Saint Patrick’s Day Chowdown has been set up at http://www.spiketv.com/#shows/mle/index.jhtml There is a commercial starring Tim Janus and Crazy Legs Conti and videos of the 2005 US Open and Johnsonville Bratwurst contest.
update The commercial with Janus & Conti appears to have been removed.
blog.gansotorokatsucurry.com reports that candy endorsed by Nobuyuki “The Giant” Shirota and Tomoko Miyake will go on sale on March 26.
In his blog, Shirota states his design goal for his candy:
‘Of the snack which is agreeable to the beer’ was thought in theme.
Videos of Pat Bruss winning the wing eating contest at the Chicago WingFest can be viewed on Google video at http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=bruss+pat (Audio is not safe for work or families)
AICE news confirms that Pat Bruss won the WingFest and says he is expected to compete at Bartolini’s Meatball contest in Illinois.
The listing for the Saint Patrick’s Day Chowdown on zap2it says that 12 eaters will be in the first round instead of 8.
The listing on SpikeTV.com (unlinkable Flash only site 🙁 , screen capture is after jump) says the first round will have 8 eaters, but the program is categorized as comedy.
Hall Hunt has updated his eaters poll with new results. The top 10 (of 25) in that list:
1. Joey Chestnut (3 1st place votes, 315 points)
2. Takeru Kobayashi (10 1st place votes, 302 points)
3. Patrick Bertoletti
4. Bob Shoudt
5. Tim Janus
6. Sonya Thomas
7. Chip Simpson
8. Rich LeFevre
9. Seaver Miller
10. Juliet Lee
Somebody must have left Kobayashi unranked, or ranked him low for him to not be #1 despite receiving 10 of 13 first place votes.
PRNewswire has a press release about the Saint Patrick’s Day contest to be televised on Spike TV. The field will consist solely of the eaters in the top 8 of the IFOCE rankings: Takeru Kobayashi, Joey “Jaws” Chestnut, Sonya “The Black Widow” Thomas, “Humble” Bob Shoudt, Patrick Bertoletti, Timothy “Eater X” Janus, Richard LeFevre and Chip Simpson.
The first round food will be corned beef & cabbage, the second round will have jalapenos and green doughnuts will be used in the final round. Beef tongue will not be in the tournament, contrary to early reports.
(From R Suzuki & supersizedmeals.com) A Mastercard ad showing Takeru Kobayashi eating a hot dog in profile can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fml8XCTkhwA
(From R Suzuki) A video of Tomoko Miyake attempting to eat five Japanese pancakes can be viewed at http://www.ntv.co.jp/news/asx_dai2/070217042_300k.asx Two other women also attempt eating challenges.
(Thanks Laura Flynn) Brian Seiken’s new episode was not the only Las Vegas themed competitive eating program last weekend. There was a hot dog eating contest on NBC’s “Las Vegas” Friday in which Sam (Vanessa Marcil) competed. This was not Sam’s first eating contest; she competed against “Cookie” Jarvis in 2004. The episode will be rerun on cable on TNT on March 8.
There was also an immunity challenge eating contest on Survivor Thursday. Pig snouts were one if the items consumed.
Skinnyboy and Steakbellie have both uploaded the Mastercard commercial with Takeru Kobyashi & Sonya Thomas to youtube.
(Thanks Badlands & Patrick Holbert) The “Chips” rap video guest starring Eric “Badlands” Booker which debuted on February 22 can be viewed on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FzX4appuC4
Burrito Blog reports that the National Science Foundation requested permission to use footage of a burrito eating contest in an educational video. The purpose of that video is not mentioned. After receiving the rights to use the contest video, the NSF responded that they would use video from another source for the project. It would be interesting to learn if anyone else in competitive eating has been contacted by the NSF.
(From Liz) The page for Eric “Steakbellie” Livingston’s fantasy competitive eating team, the Manitoba Meatsweats, can be viewed at http://groups.google.com/group/fantasyeating/web/manitoba-meatsweats There are humourous descriptions of the eleven team members and some parody articles.
Brian Seiken has posted the latest episode of his television show, which features interviews with Las Vegas residents Ron “The Undertaker” Koch and El Toro. There is also a visit from Rabbi Abramawitz and a clip of sportsradio host Jim Rome (who has criticized Sonya Thomas, Joey Chestnut and Kate Stelnick) being attacked by former Rams quarterback Jim Everett.
In other updates, Brian Seiken has Crazy Legs Conti’s appreciation of Boston Celtic Dennis Johnson, a tribute to Super Paul Barlow Jr and a report that a new medication has resolved his acid reflux issues and should help him return to his previous level.
JapanProbe reports that TV Tokyo (producer of Gluttonous King / Queen) admitted to broadcasting a program that made false fitness claims. Some people might claim that this places Gluttonous Queen champion Natsuko “Gal” Sone’s achievements in doubt, but that would ignore that Gal Sone has performed her feats on networks besides TV Tokyo.
R Suzuki reports that Gal Sone’s most recent television appearance was on the Nippon Television Network in which she ate a meal of 15,000 calories over 1 hour and 55 minutes. Video captures of that show are available.
The subtitle of the show was “Can Gal Sone outeat Elvis Presley” ([erubisu] [puresuri]). It is claimed that Elvis ate 15,000 or more calories a day near the end of his life. Will the unnamed burger girl of Memphis emerge to challenge “Gal” Sone and avenge the honor of Memphis residents? 😉
(From R Suzuki) A Mastercard commercial in which Kobayashi and Sonya Thomas have a hot dog showdown facilitated by Mastercard PayPass can be viewed at http://www.priceless.com/cards/paypass/takerukobayashi.html The video can be downloaded at http://www.priceless.com/cards/paypass/downloadvideos.html
updated mediapost.com reports that the Kobayashi & Sonya Thomas ad will only be available online and not televised. A commercial for paypass will be broadcast during the Academy Awards Sunday, but it will star an elephant.
There is a video from the Queen Mary chili cheese fries contest, along with 4 videos from the haggis undercard on bradisfunky’s youtube page (From ToddTheButlerYeates.blogspot.com)
A well produced 6 minute video from the Bikini Fry contest in Austin, apparently produced by Major League Eating, has been uploaded by brgr53. There are brief interviews of Joey Chestnut, Tim Janus and Chip Simpson.
newindpress.com reports that Sridhar, son of Shanmugham, a 29 year old from a village near Sathyamangalam in Erode district died from breathing complications after eating 20 rice cakes in an idli eating competition. Sridhar is believe to be an epilepsy patient.
IFOCE has updated its points standings The Queen Mary chili cheese fries contests is a 50 point event and no points were awarded for Wing Bowl 15.
People attending the YMCA Pancakes Days contest in Evansville, IN might want to avoid any contest afterparties put on by the local competitors. CourierPress.com reports that the contest was won by a sex offender who failed to register (the failure is attributed to a government computer mixup.) The winner was victorious for the fourth year in a row. The man he tied with in his first win in 2004 is charged with a stabbing death.
The fourth thinkyoucancompete.com video contest has opened. This contest involves eating a dozen cake doughnuts from the supermarket.
Kobayashi has posted two entries about his trip to Los Angeles. One is about his plane trip while suffering an illness, the other is about filming a commercial. The commercial is most likely for potato chips based on the picture with a lot of small potato chip bags.
There is an oreo eating contest between NASCAR driver Greg Biffle and an old woman in a commercial which can be viewed at http://youtube.com/watch?v=4CL0EtsapLE
