soshiok article about Juliet Lee
The MLE facebook reports that Joey Chestnut (380 wontons in 8 minutes) defeated Takeru Kobayashi (370) in Singapore. I think this is Kobayahi’s first loss in Asia since the 2002 Food Battle Club. Juliet Lee (160 wontons) won the women’s division.

Neither are the presence of Kobayashi and Joey Chestnut so overwhelming that you know what they are capable of doing until they begin eating. Different people have different talents and focus on different things I guess.
If there’s one important lesson that I have learnt and reminded of, it is that you just have to be really good at one thing and show it to the world that you are great at it. If you don’t show your stuff, no one knows, no one cares, one is just a face in the crowd.

The contest might result in a schedule conflict for Joey Chestnut, who has been announced as the co-star for Nacho Mountain. Principal photography for that movie has been scheduled for July 20 through July 27.
