The third Isle Biloxi Peanut Butter & Banana Sandwich Eating World Championship was held a year ago on January 7, 2012. The fourth edition was tentatively scheduled for January 5, 2013. That contest was obviously not held this past weekend, and its non-recurrence will extend a streak of MLE events held 11-15 months ago that have yet to be brought back.

There are twelve competitions listed on www.ifoce.com/contests.php?more=1 between October 15, 2011 and February 11, 2012. It does not appear that any of those contests will take place in Fall/Winter 2012/13. More than 365 days have elapsed since ten of the events were last held. February 2012 had two competitions of CP Biggest Eater, a circuit that has yet to be renewed for 2012-13. Looking further down the calendar, the facebook for TooJay’s Deli announced in November it intends to bring back its St. Patrick’s Day corned beef sandwich eating contest.

Those 12 events have five sponsors: CP Brand, Isle of Capri casinos, Cafe Martorano, Wild Turkey & Jake Melnick’s. Steve Martorano announced he intends to return his meatball eating contest to its original site of Las Vegas in the fall. I have not seen any plans for future competitions from the other four sponsors.

Going by the eatfeats calendar, the non-recurrence streak is at 22 competitions since the CP Biggest Eater events are listed as three separate contests (men/women/professionals). That listing follows after the jump:
