Hall Hunt post-Charlotte interview
Liz has posted to truefan an interview with Hall Hunt after he qualified for the Nathan’s finals by winning the Concord Mills qualifier. Hall explains why he did not underestimate Juliet Lee:
Woman, man…if you can eat, you can eat. I felt very comfortable eating up there. This maybe a bit of a tangent, but it reminded me of a time in college when I was dating this one girl who was a big eater herself. She and I after getting a good workout at the gym would rent a good movie, buy a couple large containers of food from the local wholesale grocery store and see who could eat more. I must admit that one time she beat me. That was the only time I ever lost to anyone in an eating contest before I joined the MLE and it was to a woman. Ever since then I have never underestimated females.
Paul Barlow has contributed two pictures from the contest. One picture shows Hall Hunt shoving a hot dog at the end to provide the winning margin.

(Thanks Hall Hunt) There is an interview with Hall Hunt in the University of Florida magazine, Orange & Blue. Hall describes his start in competitive eating:
I was a manager of the UF women’s soccer team, and the coach, Becky Burleigh, liked to take us out to Dragonfly Sushi & Sake Co. for dinner. When she heard they were having a competition, she kind of challenged me to do it. I did really well, but couldn’t go to the finals because I was traveling with the team for the SEC Tournament.
