Toronto Star on Eat Your Face Off
The Toronto Star has an excellent writeup of the Eat Your Face Off contests:
With the salesmanship of Ron Popeil and the bombast of Ed McMahon, the heavily-sideburned Chapman is emceeing this competition, frantically barking the play-by-play throughout — “You’ve got to finish your milk! Your momma always told you, you’ve gotta finish your milk!” — including the two amateur meets, the first of which kicked off the entire show, right in the middle of the casino.
