The Whaler captures Tim “Eater X” Janus’ thoughts as he attempts to regain his grilled cheese sandwich eating record at the Eats of Strength recording session in Long Island on Saturday.
The roster of eaters and foods for all five Eats of Strength attempts this weekend have been finalized. Cookie Jarvis and Joe LaRue will be filmed on Friday and Crazy Legs Conti will join Janus on Saturday. Hungry Charles Hardy will come out of retirement on Sunday. Free tickets are available.
Ryan Nerz has uploaded his chapter about “Krazy” Kevin Lipsitz which was excised from the published version of “Eat This Book” by his editor. Nerz will appear at a reading at the Park Slope Barnes & Noble in Brooklyn on May 10 at 7:30 pm.
Newsday has an article on both “Eat This Book” and “Horsemen of the Esophagus.”
.

In Monday’s episode of “The Apprentice” (9 pm, NBC), one of the teams of contestants will organize and promote a blooming onion eating contest at a college football game. The episode will be rerun at 8pm and 11pm Wednesday and 9pm Sunday on CNBC.
Just as the Beatles’ performance on the Ed Sullivan Show created Beatlemania, Rich and Carlene Lefevre’s appearance on Ripley’s Believe It or Not in 2000 launched their career as the world’s greatest competitive eating couple. The episode (#109) was recorded at the Big Texan steakhouse in Amarillo, Texas and both LeFevres finished the restaurants famous 72 ounce steak (two women, Tammy Hooker and Annette Havard, also finished the steak) The SciFi channel will rerun this episode on May 12 at 4pm. The Amarillo Globe News has an article about the taping.
I would be interested if anyone could explain the logic behind the Guinness Book of World Records not recognizing eating records on the grounds that they are too dangerous, but listing a record for the longest motorcycle backflip (which was broken last night in Las Vegas)

I was expecting only one eating contest at the end of tonight’s episode of Emeril Live, but there were five. Bob Shoudt, Tim Janus and Crazy Legs had a hot sauce eating contest, a po boy sandwich eating contest, a piri piri carne spart competition and a habanero sorbet eating contest.
