Dale Boone article in Times of India
The Times of India has an profile of Dale Boone, who is currently residing in India. The article contains claims that some readers might dispute:
Boone is the current world champion in competitive eating. Currently, he is based in Bangalore working for the WLOCE. When he enters the competition arena, he becomes the foul-mouthed `Mouth of the South’, a persona he has cultivated over the years, complete with a coonskin hat to celebrate his heritage, large overalls and a cow-bell in his hand.
Ask him his age and he only tells you that he is known in professional circles as the most eligible bachelor. “Revealing my age will lead to diminishing of my value as a competitor,” he says.
(From Anjou comment) WLOCE.com has been updated to annouce the contest held at the Corndogorama festival will be a WLOCE event.

Dale Boone’s Apple Ugly techniques questioned
The Salisbury Post has an article about controversy over Dale Boone’s use of hot tea at the July 4 Apple Ugly eating contest:
After friends pointed that out, [contest runner-up Keatin] Shelton e-mailed the Apple Baking Co., which organized the competition, to say that he didn’t think Boone’s record should count.
“I believe the tea may have given him an advantage,” Shelton wrote. “Anyway your rules were broken.”
The rules say that contestants can have cups of water. The rules also say contestants can’t use condiments on Uglies — which are “delicious enough on their own.”
The contest organizers say that Boone’s victory will stand.
There has been previous controversy over hot beverages in pastry eating competitions. Some competitors objected to the use of hot coffee in the 2003 San Gennaro Cannoli Eating Championship
