MLE Chowdown: Ham N Eggs

I have uploaded Spike TV’s MLE Chowdown: Ham N Eggs from 2008 to X. Hard boiled eggs contest | ham contest | ham results announcement. (The program got a copyright violation on youtube).

During halftime of Super Bowl XLII on February 3, 2008, Spike TV televised two Major League Eating contests that were recorded in Las Vegas in October 2007. The first competition was hard boiled eggs and featured eaters ranked outside the top 10. The undercard field: Erik Denmark, Chris Abatsas, Micah “Wing Kong” Collins, Allen “Shredder” Goldstein, Arturo Rios Jr., Eric “Steakbellie” Livingston and “El Toro” Jimenez.

The second televised competition was ham. The field was
Joey Chestnut, Pat Bertoletti, Tim “Eater X” Janus, Tim “Gravy” Brown, Rich LeFevre, Hall Hunt, Juliet Lee (RIP) and Juris Shibayama. Takeru Kobayashi withdrew due to jawthritis; he appears as a spectator at 5:55.

Even though the telecast had 863K viewers, a record for a Spike TV eating contest, Spike TV did not sponsor any more Major League Eating events. Ham N Eggs would be the last non-Nathan’s hot dog MLE competition televised on a national cable network.
