Kobayashi has posted a contest report and a trip report about Sunday’s mutton eating contest in Taiwan.
updated A Chinese language news clip of the contest is available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YPvgD6BCBY Kobayashi ate using chopsticks.
Brian Seiken has a preview clip from his Christmas show which will be released on December 22 at http://hometown.aol.com/beautifulbrian43/page9.html Guests include Pat Philbin, Bob Shoudt, Juliet Lee, Seaver Miller, Kevin Lipsitz and Rich LeFevre.
Harry Reichenbach attended the mince pie eating contest at Wookey Hole caves last week and uploaded a longer video clip (almost 10 minutes) of that event to youtube at http://youtube.com/watch?v=DBuYlwGiWuM. Mr. Reichenbach had behind the scenes access and did a brief pre contest interview with Sonya Thomas. The Monday Night Football theme music was played before the contest, which I doubt any of the English audience had heard before.
The Central Lakes (Minnesota) Eating Team has a page on myspace at http://www.myspace.com/centrallakeseatingteam Their heros are Takeru Kobayashi, Joey Chestnut, Sonya Thomas and Eater X. Could this be the start of UEMN?
japanprobe reports that the clip of Kobayashi vs. an Alaskan bear was broadcast on Japanese television recently three years after it was originally recorded for Fox’s Man vs. Beast special. The clip with Japanese commentary can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=konJQH34PV8
Don “Moses” Lerman reports that he will have a tumor removed from his foot on Friday. Let’s pray that the tumor is found to be non-cancerous after it has been removed and analyzed.
AICE news reports that the latke contest to be held at Zan’s Deli in Long Island scheduled for Sunday has been pushed back a week to December 17. This is the second schedule change for the event; the original date was December 3.
The LA Times has a section about Josh Heald, the author of “All You Can Eat,” a screenplay set in the world of competitive eating in its screenwriter column. The article describes Mr. Heald’s first hand experience in eating contests. The movie has yet to begin filming.
Unsurprisingly, the major challenge in moving “All You Can Eat” into production has been casting — it would take some very game comic actors who are willing to be seen stuffing food in their faces for two hours while potentially risking a disqualifying “reversal of fortune,” in the lingo of the sport.
Reuters has a video of the mince pie contest in England last week.
Red Orbit has a first person account by a participant in the contest
A full video of the meatball contest and prize announcements recorded by LadyLenore is available on Brian Seiken’s website. Joey Chestnut and Bob Shoudt are interviewed briefly. Sonya’s snub of Humble Bob’s handshake occurs at the 18:12 mark.
The 2006 meatball contest was definitely the contest of the parent. Not only did the IFOCE’s top father, Bob Shoudt, take victory against a field containing of 6 of the top 8 IFOCE members, Juliet Lee had the best ever IFOCE performance by a mother if the reports in the comments that she finished 7th with a total of 5.51 pounds is accurate.
updated spikebythesea has posted videos of the contest to youtube which can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=spikebythesea
Pat from Moonachie probably merited a spot closer to the center of the table based on his ranking, but putting him at the end was probably the optimal place based on what happened after the egg nog contest 😉
sonyatheblackwidow.com is currently down and brings up a “coming soon” webpage.
A video of the Garlicky Greens contest held at b.good won by Gretchen Salyer last month is available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNUxC3I8mUM. The clip has more content from the “Lord of the Rings” movies than the actual contest and provides only brief glimpses of the victor. One brief segment (capture available after jump) shows that Ms. Salyer might be the first person to experience the “spinach sweats.” b.good has an online newsletter about the contest.
A clip of Natsuko “Gal” Sone attempting to eat 20 pounds (9 kg) of noodles is available at http://youtube.com/watch?v=iurH9hU7ODY She does not finish it, but her weight is found to have increased to 50 kg (110 lb) after being 43 kg (95 lb.) before starting.
Liz report that her redeye flight to JFK has been cancelled, preventing her from writing a report about the meatball contest at the Tropicana in Atlantic City.
A brief video clip of the mince pie eating contest at Wookey Hole Caves won by Sonya Thomas is available on youtube at http://youtube.com/watch?v=EIomf4Tjmno
Brooklyn Papers reports that the Astroland theme park in Coney Island has been sold to developers who intend to build a mini Las Vegas on the site. Tim Janus is quoted.
Pat “from Moonachie” Philbin will compete in an egg nog drinking contest on the Opie & Anthony show Friday (XM 202). Pat will also compete in the Atlantic City meatball contest on Saturday.
