Liz has some pictures of Robert Andersson’s girlfriend Anna, which show a competitor does not need to have Tiger Wood’s bank account to land a hot Swedish babe.

Hungarian competitive eating movie screened at Cannes

May 22, 2006 at 2:42 pm by ojrifkin · More posts about:Hungary, Movies

Fans waiting for a competitive eating movie might not need to wait for the Josh Heald and Wing Bowl projects to hit the multiplexes. The Dallas Morning News reports that “Taxidermia”, a Hungarian movie directed by György Pálfi in which one of the protagonists is a competitive eater was screened at the Cannes Film Festival last Thursday. It appears unlikely that the IFOCE will endorse this movie based on this description at msn. Pictures and trailers for the movie (in French and Hungarian) are available.

UK attempt at baked bean eating record fails

April 21, 2006 at 3:29 pm by ojrifkin · More posts about:England

24dash.com has an article about an English performance artist’s attempt to break Sonya Thomas’ record of 8.4 pounds of baked beans in 2 minutes and 47 seconds. He failed to break the record but did manage to eat over 10 pounds of baked beans in 30 minutes. (Don “Moses” Lerman probably assumes that the record should have an asterisk since he did not compete in the Centerville, IN contest in 2004 in which it was set.)

Simon has informed me that he has founded the first competitive eating organization in the United Kingdom:

Hi – Simon here from CEUK – the UK’s only CE organisation. We have been formed

advice and thoughts on how we can get the UK interested in CE.
