Juliet and Floria and not the only big-eating Lees on the east coast. Grace Lee has an Atlanta restaurant website at AtlantaGSpots.com containing an eating challenge page with the following description:

Stay tuned as Grace and her unbelievable appetite take on new challenges every month. She’s challenging Atlanta to out-eat her and, at 5’2″ and 110lbs, she’s setting records, beating men twice her size, and tearing up the city!

There are videos of two eating challenges: setting the record at Varasano’s Pizzeria by eating 30 slices and a wing challenge where Grace ate 60 wings.

On a similar note, Absolutely Fobolous and 8Asians have blog entries about small Asian women with large appetites.

MN Guy Expo wing winner admits cheating

October 30, 2009 at 4:16 pm by ojrifkin · More posts about:Contest Results, Judging, Minneapolis, Unafilliated Contests

In MetroMag.com, Scott Schneweis describes the techniques which resulted in him being named the winner of the wing eating contest at the Guy Expo in St. Paul, Minnesota:

Desperate and miserable, I picked up a wing with my left hand and slid it into the side of Todd’s tray while I ate another one with my right hand. He laughed, sending chicken wing bits flying. Then he grabbed my chicken wing and put it in on the top of his pile. Chewing, we looked around. No one seemed the wiser.

Realizing what was at stake, Todd started making weird eating noises and talking to the crowd and the judge with his mouth full. It wasn’t a pretty sight, but he was distracting the crowd. I slid him four more chicken wings.
