from that blog:

They held the world gyoza eating championship. Steamed dumplings. The winner got $2500. I guess there’s this whole league of professional eaters. They all knew each other and fly around…eating. The people who came in 2nd and 3rd ate 10 percent of their body weight in 10 minutes!!! f***ing incredible. The winner was a bit larger though. You might think that chick wouldn’t do so well, but she came in 2nd. They had all these strategies like covering their mouth so air wouldn’t get in and dipping them in water to help them slide down, and they’d hop around a bit to settle it and get out any burps. Some amatuers competed along with the pros, I mean some fat ass dudes. They amatuers ate like 40 or so (I’ve eaten maybe 24 and I’m stuffed). The record they set was 162 if I remember correctly.

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. There was also a piri piri carne spart contest for audience members. The episode will reair at 3 am if you want to record it (it will also air at 8pm in the pacific time zone)

“Humble” Bob Shoudt and “Eater X” Tim Janus were the first to conquer the “Pauliesaurus” megapizza from Paulie’s Pizza in New Brunswick, NJ, winning them a prize of $350. Beautiful Brian has a writeup of their evening on his website.

With the vanquishing of the Pauliesaurus, notable unconquered eating challenges include:

• Denny’s Beer Barrel Pub’s 15 pound Belly Buster burger
• Clinton Station Diner’s 50 pound (4 person team) Mount Olympus burger and 12 pound Zeus burger
• The Rockford (MI) Corner bar’s 42.5 chili dogs in 4 hours. The current record has been held by Sharon Scholten, a 110 pound woman, for almost a quarter century. If this mark is bested, it is debatable if the victor should have an asterisk if he/she does not eat a giant Mexican lunch before like Sharon did. (As far as I know, Ms. Scholten’s mark is the most hot dogs ever eaten by a woman in a single session, but Sonya Thomas might change that on July 4, 2006)

“Humble” Bob Shoudt’s website has been made much more visually appealing without losing any functionality. The site has been divided into subpages, one of which is a blog.

“Humble” Bob Shoudt, winner of the Illinois State Fair Grilled Cheese qualifier, has just started a website at humblebob.com His website is especially welcome when it is considered that humility is not an overabundant commodity on all competitive eating websites. (The female competitor in the grilled cheese contest picture, Amy Bergseth, looks a little like Angelina Jolie. I wonder how she finished?)
