Chip Simpson wins SW Florida wing contest
NewsPress.com reports that Chip Simpson ate 4.75 pounds of meat in 12 minutes at a wing eating contest held at Buffalo Chips in Bonita Springs, Florida. Simpson has not competed in an IFOCE contest since the 2007 Krystal finals and was the sole participant in the professionals division, which was created by the restaurant manager just before the contest started to make the contest more fair for the other entrants. Austin Anderson won the amateur division with 2 pounds, 9 ounces of meat.

I just wanted to say congratulations to Chip Simpson who graduated from
graduate school yesterday with his Doctorate of Physical Therapy. I guess all the

post it on eatfeats so he can get the recognition he deserves.Thanks

Urban Honking Chip Simpson interview
Liz interviewed Chip Simpson for urbanhonking.com/truefan (A question from that page:).
Pat Bertoletti is right on Joey’s tail, and you’re right on Pat’s tail. Koby aside, are you going into these next months thinking of your most immediate competition as Joey or Pat?
I think I am close to Pat in some foods and close to Joey in some foods. I feel my worst foods just seem to be the ones that they are best at. Any sandwich type food seems to give me trouble and those seem to be primarily what the majors (Nathan’s and Krystal) are.

CBS Sportsline’s report from Sunrise, FL
Roland Liwag of CBS Sportsline Spin has posted his report from the Nathan’s qualifier held at Sunrise, FL where he managed 4.5 HDB. Some notes from that writeup:
Nerves + hot dogs + OCS + craptastic weather = Last place.
Forget what your mom told you. Chewing your food in competitive eating contests is similar to running the 100-meter dash while wearing a ball and chain.
Even though Chip Simpson broke the Florida record by eating 39¼ hot dogs, it pales in comparison to Kobyashi’s mark of 53¾ by 14½ hot dogs!
My experience Saturday more than confirmed competitive eating as a legitimate fringe sport. Congratulations, Chip, and represent Florida well at Coney Island.
