Tom Sorenson of Charlotte.com competed in yesterday’s Nathan’s qualifier at Concord Mills and wrote a column about his experience. Paul Barlow (who is now up to 3 nicknames) is quoted. The controversy about Juliet Lee’s total is not mentioned.

Hall Hoover Hunt presses an ice pack to his forehead. Juliet Lee stretches. Kevin Carburetor Carr cleans his hands with Purell sanitizer. Super Paul Bonebreaker Bigmouth Barlow puts on surgical gloves.

I just stand there. The hot dog folks have an extra seat and invite me to fill it. The release I sign, which states that I understand the risks of competitive eating, asks about my eating experience. Answer: All my life.

update IndependentTribune.com also has an article with more details about the contest
