- Pie eating contest at “Stand by Me” festival in Oregon drops IFOCE affiliation
- Report on Cincinnati coney eating contest
- Video of Justin Mih at the Boston Italian sausage contest
- Report on the Seattle donut eating contest / hip-hop concert
- Ithaca, NY hot dog contest coverage attacked and defended
- Fan attends Singapore satay contest and Brazilian soccer exhibition game vs. Singapore national team and draws the following conclusion:
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.

IFOCE “Stand By Me” pie contest registrations opens today
From IFOCE.com:
On July 28, the nation’s top Major League Eaters will converge on the small hamlet of Brownsville, Oregon to recreate one of the most iconic moments in both film and competitive eating history.
STAND BY ME was filmed in Brownsville and was released in 1986. For the first time, the IFOCE will sanction a hands-free pie eating contest as a tribute to the movie that helped bring competitive eating into the spotlight.
Registration for this contest will open at 12:00pm on Friday, June 15.
I think this is the first handsless contest IFOCE has sanctioned. The only contests listed in July on the IFOCE calendar are in Oregon.
